Executive Summary
Project was designed with the objective to create a database of students and faculty for an education system with a user interface using HTML and PHP languages. The web pages were designed using HTML script and CSS language was used to enhance the user experience. Various forms were designed to take details about students and faculty from the administrator. Once the details were received from the user, PHP script was used to send and store that data in a database. Apache server was used to host the database and SQL queries were used to store and retrieve the data from the database.
