Create onion service using PHP with MySQL database

An onion service is a unique kind of service that can only be accessed through specially designed software programs built to provide privacy and anonymity for users. The most typical examples of these services are websites hosted on .onion domains. These specific domains are crafted for anonymity and are only accessible through the Tor Browser, which is a specialized internet browser developed to engage with these distinctive domains.
