Build me a simple web app called SplitEase for splitting expenses with roommates, friends, or travel groups.

I want people to be able to create a group, add shared expenses, and see who owes what in real time. It should support splitting bills equally and also letting me enter custom amounts when needed. The app should show live balances clearly, so it’s easy to understand who paid, who owes, and who should be paid back.

Please make it feel clean and easy to use on the web, with a straightforward homepage and simple forms for adding expenses and viewing balances. Save the data properly so groups and expenses don’t disappear when the page reloads. If you need to look up current docs or best practices online, go ahead and do that.

Use the existing PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL setup in the project and build it as a working full app, not just a mockup.
