Build me a simple stock management web app for a small business or school project. It should let users log in, see a dashboard, view their profile, and manage stock records in a clean admin style interface. I want to be able to add, edit, and delete inventory items and other records from tables, with quick inline style updates that feel smooth and modern. Please include a basic database backed setup, a few starter pages, and a clear MVC structure so the app stays organized.

The dashboard should show useful summary info at a glance, and if possible, pull in live commodity or currency style rates from an API so the numbers feel current. Use a straightforward design that works well with Bootstrap and AJAX powered interactions. Make it easy to run locally with XAMPP and include whatever SQL setup is needed to get started. If you need to check current docs for any library behavior, go ahead and look them up online.
