🎓 West Prime Horizon - Student Enrollment System

✨ Overview

West Prime Horizon Enrollment System is a modernized, PHP 8-compatible web application designed to streamline, automate, and optimize the student enrollment workflow for academic institutions.

It provides a complete solution for student registration, subject advising, course program management, class scheduling, and administrative reporting with a state-of-the-art Dark / Light Theme System.

🚀 Key Features & Architectural Improvements

🌙 Modern Dark / Light Theme System

CSS Custom Properties Design Tokens: Built-in dark and light themes with smooth glassmorphism styling and custom scrollbars.
Theme Persistence: Automatic detection of system color preferences (prefers-color-scheme) and localStorage state retention across sessions.
Header Theme Toggle: Integrated, perfectly centered quick-toggle button in the main top navigation bar.

🔐 Unified Single Navigation Architecture

Role-Aware Header (menu.php): Replaced multiple legacy menu files with a consolidated navigation bar that dynamically renders based on user roles:
- Guest Mode: Sign In, Register Account, Theme Toggle.
- Student Mode: Home, Enrollment Info, Profile Account, Online Enrollment.
- Encoder Mode: Student & Subject Directories, Advising & Registration, Class Rosters.
- Registrar Mode: Directories, Advising, Rosters, Reports & Database Backup.
- Administrator Mode: Full Access including User Management & System Database Backups.

🖨️ Standardized Print Layout Engine

Dedicated Print Stylesheet (@media print): Clean, borderless printable documents for student records (studentView.php, viewStudent.php).
Strict Image Aspect Ratios: Enforced aspect-ratio: 2/2 (1:1 square ratio) for institution logos and student photos.
Single-Line Truncated Signatures: Guarantees student signature names remain strictly on a single line (white-space: nowrap, text-overflow: ellipsis) above signature lines.

🎨 Refined UI Layout & Spacing ("Air to Breathe")

Form Controls & Inputs: Modernized 48px input heights, custom focus glows, and expanded form group padding.
Query Filter Panels: Full-width col-md-12 form panels with single flex-row action buttons (Search, Reset, Add).
Directory List Actions: Modern primary (.btn-primary) and danger outline (.btn-outline-danger) buttons with FontAwesome 5 icon sets.
Theme-Aware Badges & Pagination: Custom status badges (.badge-status-active, .badge-status-pending, etc.) and dark-mode compatible pagination controls (ul.pager, ul.pagination).
