The last part of creating a log in system is to create an admin page. We'd like to be able to add, change, and delete users. We'd also like to reset user passwords if someone forgets. We're going to build this out here!
We're using similar patterns here, but we're making it considerably more complex, including introducing more complex controller logic, filtering, and html. This is more of a real world example, with a more complete CSS design and html layout. We've also modernized our controllers with try..catch blocks for filtering and validating. We also have many different controller actions and model methods to round out this expansion.
The first step to this is creating three files: admin.php, adminmodels.php, and adminviews.php. We'll drop all of our new code in those files and this section will be complete!
