## 🐛 Bugs Found & Fixed

### **Bug #1: Column Name Error in my-activities.php**

**Severity:** 🔴 Critical  
**Status:** ✅ FIXED  

**Error Message:**
```
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'aa.time_in' in 'field list'
```

**Location:** `employee/my-activities.php` line 20

**Root Cause:**  
The query was using incorrect column name `time_in` instead of `check_in_time` from the `activity_attendance` table.

**Database Schema:**
```sql
activity_attendance table columns:
- attendance_id
- activity_id
- user_id
- registration_id
- attendance_type
- check_in_time  ← Correct column name
- status
- scanned_by
- notes
```

**Fix Applied:**
```php
// BEFORE (BROKEN):
aa.time_in

// AFTER (FIXED):
aa.check_in_time
```

**Files Modified:**
- `employee/my-activities.php` (line 20)
- `employee/my-activities.php` (line 102)

**Test Result:** ✅ Page loads successfully, no errors

### **Bug #2: Column Name Error in certificates.php**

**Severity:** 🔴 Critical  
**Status:** ✅ FIXED  

**Error Message:**
```
Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 
Unknown column 'c.issue_date' in 'order clause'
```

**Location:** `employee/certificates.php` line 10

**Root Cause:**  
Multiple incorrect column names were used:
- `issue_date` instead of `issued_date`
- `certificate_code` instead of `certificate_number`
- `file_path` instead of `certificate_file`

**Database Schema:**
```sql
certificates table columns:
- certificate_id
- user_id
- activity_id
- certificate_number  ← Not certificate_code
- issued_date         ← Not issue_date
- certificate_file    ← Not file_path
- is_downloaded
- download_count
- first_download_at
- last_download_at
```

**Fixes Applied:**

**Fix 1: ORDER BY clause (line 19)**
```php
// BEFORE:
ORDER BY c.issue_date DESC

// AFTER:
ORDER BY c.issued_date DESC
```

**Fix 2: This Year filter (line 78)**
```php
// BEFORE:
date('Y', strtotime($c['issue_date']))

// AFTER:
date('Y', strtotime($c['issued_date']))
```

**Fix 3: Display issued date (line 135)**
```php
// BEFORE:
formatDate($cert['issue_date'])

// AFTER:
formatDate($cert['issued_date'])
```

**Fix 4: Display certificate code (line 139)**
```php
// BEFORE:
htmlspecialchars($cert['certificate_code'])

// AFTER:
htmlspecialchars($cert['certificate_number'])
```

**Fix 5: Download link (line 142)**
```php
// BEFORE:
if ($cert['file_path']):
    BASE_URL . '/' . $cert['file_path']

// AFTER:
if ($cert['certificate_file']):
    BASE_URL . '/' . $cert['certificate_file']
```

## 🔍 Root Cause Analysis

### **Why Did This Happen?**

The bugs occurred because the employee module pages were created based on assumed column names that didn't match the actual database schema.

**Lessons Learned:**
1. Always check the actual database schema before writing queries
2. Use `DESCRIBE table_name` to verify column names
3. Test all pages immediately after creation
4. Use consistent naming conventions across the codebase

---

## 🛠️ Prevention Measures

### **For Future Development:**

1. **Always verify column names:**
   ```bash
   mysql> DESCRIBE table_name;
   ```

2. **Test queries directly first:**
   ```bash
   mysql> SELECT * FROM table WHERE condition;
   ```

3. **Enable error logging:**
   ```php
   error_reporting(E_ALL);
   ini_set('display_errors', 1);
   ini_set('log_errors', 1);
   ```

4. **Check error logs:**
   ```bash
   tail -f logs/php_errors.log
   ```
