1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Overview
The Dance Institute Management System is a web-based application designed to streamline the
management and communication processes within a dance institute. It features dedicated login portals for
Admins, Users (current students), and New Users (prospective students), each with specific functionalities
tailored to their needs. Admins can oversee essential administrative tasks, such as viewing application
forms, and managing details of present students. Current students (Users) can access their information, stay
updated on upcoming events, and communicate with the Admin. Prospective students (New Users) can
explore institute details, learn about the faculty and present students, and apply for admission directly
through the system. This platform aims to replace traditional manual processes with a more efficient and
user-friendly system, fostering better communication, organization, and engagement across all roles in the
institute.
1.2. Objective

application forms, student information, and faculty details.
To provide a user-friendly interface for Admins to manage student records and oversee applications
efficiently.
To enable current students (Users) to view their personal details, stay informed about upcoming
events, and communicate with Admins via the "Contact Us" page.
To simplify the enrollment process for prospective students (New Users) by allowing them to
explore institute information and apply for admission directly through the system.
To reduce manual workload and improve the accuracy and efficiency of data management across all
roles, enhancing communication and engagement within the institute
11
methods involve maintaining records in physical documents or basic digital formats, which complicates the
retrieval and management of important information. This project aims to address these challenges by
developing a web-based system that automates and centralizes the management of student data, event
schedules, and communication processes, making it easier for Admins, Users (current students), and New
Users (prospective students) to interact with the institute’s resources efficiently.
1.4. Scope
The project focuses on developing a web-based platform with three primary roles: Admin, User (current
student), and New User (prospective student). Admins will have the ability to view and manage application
forms, present students’ information and ensure smooth administrative operations. Users can access their
personal information, view upcoming institute events, and contact Admins through a dedicated "Contact Us"
page, improving communication and engagement. New Users can explore the institute’s details, including
faculty and current students, and easily apply for admission. The system is designed for scalability, with
potential for future enhancements such as integration with advanced event management tools and analytics
for student engagement and performance tracking.

3. ANALYSIS
A Use Case Diagram is a visual representation of a system's functionality and the interactions between the
system and external entities (actors). It helps to model the dynamic aspects of the system, showing how users
or external systems (actors) interact with the system to achieve specific goals (use cases). The diagram is a
useful tool in understanding the system's functionality, defining the scope, and clarifying the relationships
between actors and use cases.
Actors: Represent external entities interacting with the system. Primary Actors: The ones who directly
interact with the system (e.g., User, Admin).Secondary Actors: Entities or systems that support the primary
actors (e.g., Payment Gateway).
Use Cases: These are the functions or services the system provides, depicted as ovals. Each use case
describes a task performed by an actor, like "Login," "Search Product," "Make Payment," etc.
17
Fig 3.1.1 Use Case Diagram
18
3.1.2 Flow of Events
The flow of events describes the sequence of actions that occur during the execution of a use case.
Here’s an example for each actor:
19
3.2 Activity Diagram
An activity diagram is a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram that visually represents
the flow of activities or tasks in a system, highlighting the sequence and conditions under which these
activities occur. It is particularly useful for modeling the dynamic aspects of a system, showcasing how
different actions are interconnected and how they contribute to the overall workflow. The diagram consists
of various symbols, such as rounded rectangles for activities, diamonds for decision points, and arrows to
indicate the flow of control. By illustrating both sequential and parallel activities, activity diagrams help in
understanding complex processes, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing workflows, making them valuable
tools in software development, business process modeling, and system analysis.
20
4. DESIGN
4.1 ER Diagram
An Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagram is a visual representation of the data and its relationships
within a system. It is widely used in database design to depict the structure of a database and the interactions
between the entities within it. ER diagrams help in modeling the database’s logical structure, making it
easier to understand how different elements in a system are connected.
1. Entities
o Entities represent real-world objects or concepts. These could be things like "Customer,"
"Product," "Order," etc. Entities are usually depicted as rectangles.
o Each entity has attributes that describe its properties. For instance, a "Customer" entity may
have attributes like CustomerID, Name, and Email.
2. Attributes
o Attributes describe the properties or characteristics of an entity.
o These are represented by ellipses connected to their respective entity. For example, for a
"Student" entity, attributes could include StudentID, Name, and Age.
o Primary Key: One or more attributes that uniquely identify each instance of an entity. These
are often underlined in ER diagrams.
o Foreign Key: An attribute that establishes a relationship between two entities.
3. Relationships
o Relationships illustrate how entities are related to each other. These are depicted by
diamonds connecting entities.
o A relationship could be something like "enrolls" between "Student" and "Course" entities or
"purchases" between "Customer" and "Product."
4. Cardinality
o Cardinality defines the number of instances of one entity that can be associated with another
entity. Common cardinalities include:
21
One-to-One: Each entity in the relationship is associated with only one instance of
the other entity. For example, each person has one passport.
One-to-Many: One entity can have many associated entities, but the other entity is
associated with only one. For example, one customer can place many orders, but each
order is placed by only one customer.
Many-to-Many: Both entities can have many associated instances of the other. For
example, students can enroll in many courses, and each course can have many
students.
5. Weak Entities
o A weak entity is an entity that cannot be uniquely identified by its own attributes alone and
depends on another (strong) entity. These are depicted with double rectangles.
o For example, an "Order Item" entity might be a weak entity dependent on an "Order" entity
for identification
22
4.2 Sequence Diagram
A Sequence Diagram is a UML interaction diagram that visually represents the order of interactions
between objects or components in a system to accomplish a specific function or process. It shows how
various actors (like users or external systems) and internal components interact through the exchange of
messages over time. Each object or actor in a sequence diagram is represented by a lifeline, which is a
vertical dashed line indicating its existence over the interaction period. The lifelines interact by sending
messages to each other, which are depicted as arrows. These messages can be synchronous (where the
sender waits for a response) or asynchronous (where the sender doesn’t wait for a response). Objects can
also call themselves using self-messages, indicated by a looped arrow. Sequence diagrams often include
activation bars on lifelines to indicate when an object is actively processing. Frames such as alt for
alternatives, opt for optional conditions, and loop for repeating actions help in modeling complex
interactions like conditional behavior and looping.
23
Fig 4.2.1 Sequence Diagram
24
4.3 Class Diagram
A Class Diagram is a static structure diagram in UML that depicts the blueprint of a system by
illustrating its classes, attributes, methods, and the relationships between them. Each class is represented as a
rectangle with three sections: the class name, attributes, and methods (or operations). Attributes describe the
properties of the class, while methods define its behaviors. Relationships between classes include
associations, which show connections between classes, aggregations, where one class is part of another but
can exist independently, and compositions, where one class cannot exist without the other. Inheritance
(generalization) illustrates that one class inherits from another, and dependency shows how one class relies
on another. Multiplicities define how many instances of one class can be related to instances of another.
Class diagrams are useful in object-oriented design and development, offering a clear, detailed view of a
system's structure, which helps in both system and database design, as well as code development.

5. IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 Technology
1. PHP
PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a popular server-side scripting language designed primarily for web
development. It is widely used for creating dynamic and interactive web pages. PHP is embedded within
HTML, allowing developers to execute code on the server and generate web content that can be delivered to
a user's browser. One of PHP's main advantages is its ease of integration with various databases like
MySQL, enabling the development of data-driven websites. It's open-source, highly flexible, and supports
numerous frameworks, making it a powerful tool for building robust web applications.
MySQLi is a powerful extension that enables PHP to interact with MySQL databases more securely and
efficiently. It provides an object-oriented interface for querying and managing MySQL databases. This
extension supports both procedural and object-oriented methods, making it flexible. It also offers advanced
features such as prepared statements and multiple statement execution, improving security by preventing
SQL injection attacks.
2. XAMPP
XAMPP is a free, open-source software package that provides an easy-to-install platform for web
development. It stands for Cross-Platform (X), Apache (A), MySQL (M), PHP (P), and Perl (P). XAMPP
allows developers to create and test web applications locally on their own computers before deploying them
to a live server. It includes a web server (Apache), a database management system (MySQL), and support
for PHP and Perl, making it a complete environment for building and testing websites. XAMPP is widely
used because of its simplicity, portability, and ability to support multiple operating systems.
Apache is the core web server in XAMPP, responsible for handling HTTP requests and serving web
content to users. It plays a crucial role in hosting the Dance Institute Management System locally during
26
development. Apache handles all client-server interactions, ensuring the application's front-end and back-end
communicate effectively. Its modular architecture allows customization, making it suitable for dynamic web
applications like yours.
phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin is a graphical interface provided within XAMPP for interacting with MySQL databases.
It simplifies the management of databases, tables, and records, eliminating the need for manual SQL queries.
With phpMyAdmin, database administrators can perform tasks such as data insertion, deletion, and
modification easily, making the database management of the Dance Institute project seamless and efficient.
3. MySQL Connector/PHP
The MySQL Connector for PHP is a driver that allows PHP to connect to the MySQL database. It
enables efficient data exchange between the web application and the database. This connector ensures
smooth communication, secure data transactions, and optimized performance for retrieving and storing
information in your system. By using this connector, your PHP application can efficiently handle database
interactions, leading to better overall system performance.
These libraries and tools will empower our Dance Institute Management System by making it robust, secure,
and scalable. They handle everything from database management to web hosting, ensuring that the
application functions smoothly and efficiently during both development and production stages.
4. ArgoUML
ArgoUML is a software tool designed for creating UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams and
other diagram types commonly used in information technology and software development. It allows
developers, system architects, and analysts to visually represent the structure, behavior, and interaction of
systems through diagrams like class diagrams, use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, and more. Argo UML
is valuable for planning and designing software systems, as it helps in visualizing complex processes and
interactions. Its user-friendly interface and support for multiple diagram formats make it an effective tool for
modeling, analysis, and communication in IT projects.

6. USER SCREENS
45
6.1 Register.php
The register.php page is designed to allow new users to create an account by providing necessary
information such as their username, email, and password. The page typically includes a registration form
with multiple input fields, such as name, email, password, and possibly fields like phone number or address,
depending on the registration requirements. Once the user fills in the form and clicks the "Register" button,
the entered data is validated on both the client-side and server-side to ensure that it meets the criteria (e.g.,
valid email format, strong password, unique username).
Upon successful validation, the information is securely stored in the database, often with the
password hashed to enhance security. If registration is successful, the user is prompted to log in. In the case
of errors, such as missing information or an already registered email, appropriate error messages are
displayed. The page may also include a "Login" link to direct users who already have an account. This
process ensures that only valid, unique users are registered on the system.
6.2 Admissions.php
46
The admissions.php page is a form-based page where users are required to provide detailed personal
information, such as their name, email, contact number, date of birth (DOB), father's name and contact
number, and mother's name and contact number. The form is structured to capture all the necessary data,
with each field labelled appropriately to guide the user in entering the correct information. Upon filling in
the form, the user clicks the "Submit" button, which sends the entered details to the server for processing.
Once the form is successfully submitted, the user is redirected to a "Thank You" page that confirms
their application has been received. The "Thank You" page may include a message acknowledging the
submission and thanking the user for their time, with a "Back to Home" button or link that allows the user to
easily navigate back to the homepage. This ensures a smooth and user-friendly experience, where the user is
informed that their application has been successfully submitted and provided a clear path to return to the
website's main page.
6.3 Home.php
47
The home.php page acts as the main landing page, allowing users to navigate seamlessly to different
sections of the website. It provides easy access to essential features, including the application form, the
contact page, the gallery, and detailed information about the institution. Through a user-friendly interface,
