You can deploy the app on InfinityFree. Once you have an account, do the following:

1. Download the files in this repo and put them into your htdocs folder on InfinityFree. This is the server.

2. Add a config.php file to the htdocs directory with the following content:

   <?php
   /* Database credentials */
   define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
   define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
   define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
   define('DB_NAME', 'users');
   
   /* Attempt to connect to MySQL database */
   $link = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);
   
   // Check connection
   if($link === false){
       die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
   }
   ?>

3. Look up the database credentials for DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_NAME on InfinityFree and change them in your config.php according to yours.
