What are some common features of a news system in PHP?

Common features of a news system in PHP include user authentication, CRUD operations for news articles, category management, search functionality, and pagination. These features allow users to create, read, update, and delete news articles, organize them by categories, search for specific articles, and navigate through multiple pages of news content.

// Example code for user authentication in a news system
session_start();

if(isset($_POST['login'])) {
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];

    // Validate username and password
    if($username === 'admin' && $password === 'password') {
        $_SESSION['user'] = $username;
        header('Location: dashboard.php');
    } else {
        echo 'Invalid username or password';
    }
}

if(isset($_GET['logout'])) {
    session_destroy();
    header('Location: login.php');
}
