Project Overview:
The Simple Billing Invoice System is a basic web application developed using PHP and MySQL. The system is designed to facilitate the creation of invoices for drink orders with minimal steps. Users can add drink items, input the customer's name, and submit the invoice. Upon submission, the system redirects to a print page to generate and print the invoice.
