I rewrote the backend to work with the newer version of PHP and I changed some of the meta data. The original author of this is: https://github.com/profh
The original repository for this is: https://github.com/profh/thefacebook

How to use
1.) Install the latest version of xampp. (https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html)
2.) Download this as a zip.
3.) Extract the zip folder.
4.) Change xampp's httpd.conf to have the directory of the unzipped folder.
5.) Start apache and mysql in xampp.
6.) Go to PHPMyAdmin (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin).
7.) Click new in the menu on the left.
8.) Name the datbase "thefacebook".
9.) Click create.
10.) Then click on the database.
11.) Click import which is in the top bar.
12.) Click choose file.
13.) Navigate to and select the file in the facebook directory called "create-database.sql".
14.) Click go.
15.) Go to http://127.0.0.1/

If something doesn't work, feel free to leave a comment or something and I'll try to get back to you.

Note
Any features that just say "Under Constuction" are features I do not plan to implement.
I am also aware of the fact that you can't view other profiles and you sometimes get the error of "Please specify a user". If I have time I will fix that.
