## 📋 Overview

The Check Controller is an incomplete template controller that was initially designed for managing treasury/cash register operations but contains empty function implementations. It serves as a skeleton structure for:
- Cash register management (planned but not implemented)
- Transaction recording (stubbed functions)
- CRUD operations framework
- Authentication and permission handling

### Primary Functions (Planned)
- [ ] Add cash register entries (empty implementation)
- [ ] Display cash register data (empty implementation)
- [ ] Edit cash register records (empty implementation)
- [ ] Delete cash register entries (empty implementation)
- [ ] Update cash register information (empty implementation)
- [ ] Print cash register reports (empty implementation)

## 🗄️ Database Tables

### Expected Tables (Based on Structure)
| Table Name | Purpose | Key Columns |
|------------|---------|-------------|
| **save** | Cash registers/safes | saveid, savename, savevalue |
| **savedaily** | Daily cash transactions | savedailyid, saveid, amount, date |

**Note**: This controller includes `include_dao.php` which loads all DAO classes, but specific table operations are not implemented.

## 🐛 Current Issues

### 1. **Empty Function Bodies**
**Issue**: All business logic functions are empty  
**Impact**: Controller provides no functionality
**Status**: ❌ Critical

### 2. **Incomplete Templates**
**Issue**: Template displays are commented out in default action  
**Impact**: No user interface

### 3. **No Database Integration**
**Issue**: No DAO usage despite includes  
**Impact**: No data persistence

### 4. **Missing Error Handling**
**Issue**: Empty functions may cause undefined behavior  
**Impact**: Unpredictable application state

## 🔧 Implementation Recommendations

### Phase 1: Basic Structure
1. **Define Database Schema**:
   ```sql
   CREATE TABLE save (
       saveid INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
       savename VARCHAR(255),
       savevalue DECIMAL(10,2),
       userid INT,
       sysdate DATETIME,
       del TINYINT DEFAULT 0
   );
   ```

2. **Implement Basic CRUD**:
   ```php
   function add() {
       global $SaveDAO, $Save;
       $Save->savename = $_POST['savename'];
       $Save->savevalue = (float)$_POST['savevalue'];
       $Save->userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
       $Save->sysdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
       return $SaveDAO->insert($Save);
   }
   ```

### Phase 2: Business Logic
1. Add transaction recording
2. Implement daily cash tracking
3. Add balance calculations
4. Create reporting functions

### Phase 3: Integration
1. Connect with sellbillController
2. Link to buyBillController
3. Integrate with financial reporting
