CC COMPARATIVE PRICING RFQ | PHP 5.6 / MySQL

INSTALL:
1. Back up your website and MySQL database.
2. Upload services/comparative-pricing/ into public_html/services/comparative-pricing/.
3. Import schema.sql into the SAME database used by config/database.php (network_db()).
4. Keep existing /includes/header.php and /includes/footer.php; this package does not overwrite them.
5. Integrate admin-auth-bridge.php with the EXISTING verified CC admin session. Admin access is DENIED by default.
6. Test a customer RFQ, admin invite, supplier quote, and member history on staging before production.

URLS:
/services/comparative-pricing/ (customer)
/services/comparative-pricing/admin/ (admin, requires auth bridge)
/services/comparative-pricing/supplier/ (logged-in manufacturer member)
/services/comparative-pricing/member/ (logged-in customer)

EXISTING TABLES READ-ONLY: products (id, manufacturer_member_id, product_name, product_category, status).
NEW TABLES: cc_rfq_requests, cc_rfq_invitations, cc_rfq_quotes.

IMPORTANT:
- This version uses existing member sessions network_member_id/member_id/user_id. Confirm those keys are populated by your CC login.
- Only supplier accounts with active products can be invited, identified by manufacturer_member_id.
- Suppliers see project requirements but NOT customer phone/email. Admin sees contact details.
- Quote comparison is available to admin only; no automatic customer publication, messaging, email, WhatsApp, payment, or order placement.
- The public form is open to guests; guest RFQs are not visible in member history unless separately linked after verification.
- Supplier names display as member IDs until joined to your existing members/manufacturer schema.
- Product match by category is a discovery aid, not technical approval.
- Verify your live PHP 5.6 configuration, global include behavior, and database privileges.
