CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Web Application
A web application is a software application that runs on a remote server. In most cases,
web browsers are used to access web applications, over a network, such as the internet. Some web
applications are used in intranets, in companies and schools, for example. Web applications are
different from other applications because they do not need to be installed. Web applications are
popular because most computer operating systems have web browsers. Programmers can easily
change a web application. Users do not need to install any new software to see these changes. Web
applications use a combination of server-side scripts (PHP and ASP) to handle the storage and
retrieval of the information, and client-side scripts (JavaScript and HTML) to present information
to users.
1.1.1 Working of a Web Application
Web applications are usually coded in browser-supported language such as JavaScript and
HTML as these languages rely on the browser to render the program executable. Some of the
applications are dynamic, requiring server-side processing. Others are completely static with no
processing required at the server. The web application requires a web server to manage requests
from the client, an application server to perform the tasks requested, and, sometimes, a database
to store the information. Application server technology ranges from ASP.NET, ASP and
ColdFusion, to PHP and JSP. Here's how a typical web application flow looks like:
i. User triggers a request to the web server over the internet, either through a web browser
the application’s user interface.
ii. Web server forwards this request to the appropriate web application server.
iii. Web application server performs the requested task - such as querying the database.
iv. Web application server sends results to the web server with the requested information.

v. Web server responds back to the client with the requested information that then appears.
1.1.2 Benefits of Web Application
i. Web applications run on multiple platforms regardless of operating systems or device
as long as the browser is compatible.
ii. All users access the same version, eliminating any compatibility issues.
iii. They are not installed on the hard drive, thus eliminating space limitations.
iv. They reduce software piracy in subscription-based web applications.
v. They reduce costs for both the business and end user as there is less support and
maintenance required by the business and lower requirements for the end user’s computer.
1.2 Technological Review
1.2.1 PHP
For implementing the project, we are making use of php language as the main language.
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general
purpose programming language. PHP code can be embedded into HTML code or it can be used in
frameworks.
1.2.2 Javascript
Java Script is a high-level, dynamic ,untyped ,and interpreted programming language. It
has been standardized in the ECMA Script language specification. Along side HTML and CSS, it
is one of the three essential technologies of World Wide Web content production; the majority of
websites employ it and it is supported by all modern Web browsers without plug-ins.
JavaScript is also used in environments that are not Web-based, such as PDF documents, site
specific browsers, and desktop widgets. Newer and faster JavaScript virtual machines (VMs) and
platforms built upon them have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side Web
applications.

1.2.3 HTML/CSS
Hypertext Markup Language, commonly referred to as HTML, is the standard markup
language used to create web pages. Along with CSS, and JavaScript, HTML is a cornerstone
technology used to create web pages, as well as to create user interfaces for mobile and web
applications. Web browsers can read HTML files and render them into visible or audible web
pages. HTML describes the structure of a website semantically and, before the advent of Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS), included cues for the presentation or appearance of the document (web page),
making it a markup language, rather than a programming language.
1.2.4 Mysql
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) and the most
widely use do pen-source lientâ“server model RDBMS. MySQL is a popular choice of database
for use in web applications, and is a central component of the widely used LAMP opensource web
application software stack (and other "AMP" stacks).
1.2.5 AJAX
Ajax is a set of web development techniques using many web technologies on the client-
side to create asynchronous Web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send data to and
retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display
andbehavioroftheexistingpage. Ajaxis nota technology ,but a group of technologies. HTML and
CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The DOM is accessed with
JavaScript to dynamicallydisplay and allow the user to interact with â“ the information presented.
JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object provide a method for exchanging data asynchronously
between browser and server to avoid full page reloads.
1.3 Introduction to project
We are formulating the best alumni web portal which will facilitate effective
communication platform through online chatting, profile viewing and personal messaging within
three stakeholders of the institute viz- College, College students, Alumni.

This portal will be providing direct contact of the alumni with the students as well as the
staff members. The desired query of the existing students will be answered faster. This keeps the
students updated with the current updates and demands of the industrial market. The students
neither posting nor chatting can also silently be updated with the on goings in the college as well
as the market.
This portal highlights the feature of communication, which will enable the current students
to interact with the alumni of the college for getting various updates on current industry trends,
Internship opportunity, sponsored projects and various referral opening in the corporate world.
This portal will serve the cause of integrating all the stakeholders of Institute such as,
Alumni, College students, Faculties to avail the guidance and knowledge sharing on various
domains. In this project we proposed the Dynamic Architectural design of the Alumni portal, which
enable the two-way communication between all stakeholders.
1.4 Objectives:
• Get latest updates.
• Connect with your batch-mates.
• Receive invites to alumni meets.
• Helps us to connect with you better.
• Plan reunions for your batch.
• Connect with your professors.
1.5 Problem Statement:
Now a days the education became one of the desired need of the people, but unfortunately
what if the student is sincere but unaware about the current market status and the market
requirement.
This is the major problem with the students that they are unable to get more and more
information about the surrounding "Whats going on..?" The Problem occured with the students at
the form.

Time of career guidance, Project title selection ,Internships, Domain related queries, any
query related to the syllabus or something which is very new concept for them etc.
Because of the lack of knowledge the student decides with the way smay wrong or right .if
luckily they got the desired goal then no issue but imagine what if they have selected something
very wrong. After the wrong choice the thing which has been done is only the wastage of time.
Always remember "Your golden advice can save others precious times."
The proposed architecture, by making use of Php code, offers a solution to those problems.
Problem can be solve by reducing the distance between the students with their alumni and the
faculties so that they can get the correct guidance or the advice and can utilize their time in best
way.
The implemented Alumni Portal will provide the features like chat, post, department wise
chat and be able to connect with all the alumni students and the faculties also.
1.6 Proposed System:
The application allows students to register and then search the data based on different
criteria. Also it has the benefits of having a centralized database and upto date information. A user
can easily obtain information about other registered user.
1.7 Existing System:
Many institutions, colleges and universities maintain the information manually about
present and past students. This does not allow efficient data management and retrieval process. A
student willing to get information about others has to approach the college and obtain the details.
Often the information may not be available and misleading.

1.8 Motivation:
❖ Although our college website is quite attractive, but it lacks with the feature of
communication with the alumnus.
❖ This creates a problem for the current students in terms of guidance, internships, industrial
knowledge.
❖ It also lacks the instant solution to the problem which are related to education and 1 career.
❖ It does not provide any idea about the news and current status of jobs in different
companies and industry.
1.9 Introduction to Front End Software
The front-end software used is PHP. PHP is an acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Pre-
processor”. PHP is a server scripting language, and a powerful tool for making dynamic form. and
interactive web pages. PHP is a widely used, open source scripting language and is free to
download and use. PHP files can contain text, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP code. PHP codes
are executed on the server, and the result is returned to the browser as plain HTML. PHP files have
extension ".php". PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 mark-up, or it can be used
in combination with various web template systems, web content management systems and web
frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a module in the
web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. The web server software
combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP code, which may be any type of data,
including images, with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed with a command-
line interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical applications.
1.10 Introduction to SQL
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a programming language used for storing and
managing data in Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). SQL was the first
commercial language introduced for E.F Codd's Relational model. Today almost all RDBMS
(MySQL, Oracle, Infomix, Sybase, and MS Access) uses SQL as the standard database language.

SQL is used to perform all type of data operations in RDBMS. Most of the actions you need to
perform on a database are done with SQL statements. Standard SQL commands like ADD, DROP,
INSERT and UPDATE can be used with MySQL. MySQL can be used for variety of applications,
but is most commonly found on web servers. MySQL commands can be incorporated into the PHP
code. SQL defines following data languages to manipulate data of RDBMS:
i. DDL: Data Definition Language
ii. DML: Data Manipulation Language
iii. TCL: Transaction Control Language
iv. DCL: Data Control Language
v. DQL: Data Query Language

CHAPTER 2
Literature Survey

which is shown on every page.
2.5 UCLA Alumni (www.alumni.ucla.edu)
• The UCLA Alumni Portal’s home page layout is very much atractive , shows the similar
features like all the portal wich we have disscused yet.
• But unfortunatly there is no notice section because of that the portal not shows any
sourroundig informations .
• And also the donor initiative is present in the form of scholarship but the basic concept is
same.
• Auto registration of all students.
• It provides chat room.
• Alumni sare connected by the social networks which reduce the distance between the pass
out and the junior students and that makes the portal unique as compare to the other portals.
2.6 Commonly Identiﬁed Weaknesses
• Majority of the alumni portals do not provide the feature of direct communication of the
students with the alumnus although the institute remains indirect contact with the alumni.
• And also the conservation is hidden or not displayed from the other student who all are
connected with that particular portal.
• No chat rooms speciﬁc to topic/ interest / domain.
• No direct registration.

2.7 How to Overcome the Weaknesses
Proposed method to overcome on shortfalls includes following features:
• Provided Special interest group(sig) chat rooms.

CHAPTER 4
DESIGN
4.1 Design Approach
Design is the first step in the development phase for any techniques and principles for the
purpose of defining a device, a process or system in sufficient detail to permit its physical
realization. Once the software requirements have been analysed and specified the software design
involves three technical activities design, coding, implementation and testing that are required to
build and verify the software. The design activities are of main importance in this phase, because
in this activity, decisions ultimately affecting the success of the software implementation and its
ease of maintenance are made. These decisions have the final bearing upon reliability and
maintainability of the system. Design is the only way to accurately translate the customer
requirements into finished software or a system. Design is the place where quality is fostered in
development. Software design is a process through which requirements are translated into a
representation of software. Software design is conducted in two steps. Preliminary design is
concerned with the transformation of requirements into data.
Figure 4.1:Usecase diagram of admin

Admin Approach
In Alumni Registration Form, admin performs various tasks. Admin at first will login into
the website then it will manages the user database, user registration whether to accept or not. Then
it will creates its own events as well as will give approval for the registered students and events.
They can update different kinds of events. They can also see how many students have registered
and participated in which all events. Atlas, all the task done by particular admin, they can easily
logout from the website.
Figure 4.2: Usecase diagram of Student
Student Approach
In Alumni Portal, User/Students can easily login to the website. After the login they can search
about the different types of events that will take place, then they can register for the events which
ever they would like to. They can view events by which branch organised and as well as the in
charge of the particular events. Then they can logout from the website.
