Introduction

This project is entitled Online Thesis Archiving System and was developed using PHP and MySQL Database. This is a web-based application that provides an online platform for storing the students' thesis or capstone projects. The main purpose of this application is to give the students of a certain university or College Schools online access to store their final year projects and allow lower year students to find some references and ideas for their future or upcoming final year project. The system was written in PHP/OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) and has multiple features and functionalities that are related to this kind of system. This has user-friendly functionalities and a pleasant user interface using the Bootstrap Framework and AdminLTE Template.

About the Online Thesis Archiving System

I developed this project using the following:

XAMPP v3.3.0 as my local webserver that has a PHP Version 8.0.7
PHP Language
MySQL Database
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
jQuery
Ajax
Bootstrap
AdminLTE
and some other plugins/libraries.

This Online Thesis Archiving System has 2 modules which are the Management Module and the Student Module:

The Management Module is the part of the system where the school management can manage the system information and important list on the system. The said module can be accessed by 2 types of user roles which are the Administrator and Staff user. The Admin Users has full access to all features and functionalities of the system Admin Panel and that includes the list of Staff users. The Staff Users only have limited access to the said system side. They can only manage the submitted projects of the students and manage the registered student list.

The Student Module is the side of the system where the students can explore, find references, read the archive's contents, and more. The students can simply register their system credentials. After they register their system account, the management will verify his/her account and if the admin has successfully verified the student account, the student will have permission to submit the project but still be upon approval of the management. He/She can also update the project he/she submitted. They can also list his/her own submitted projects whether it was published to the public or not.

The system also has some features that can help or can give the end-users a better experience while using the system. The project list has a pagination feature and a search feature.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. After downloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.

Virus note: All files are scanned once-a-day by SourceCodester.com for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:

2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
