 2. Survey of Technologies
This project’s main objective is to develop a Web Application using
industrial standard clean code where our major part is on backend
functionalities, below is the list of technologies we used in our project.

2.1 Core PHP : Core PHP is a scripting language used for web
development. It's vital because it helps create dynamic websites and web
applications, processing data on the server, and interacting with
databases. PHP's simplicity and compatibility make it an excellent choice
for building interactive websites efficiently. Its open-source nature also
makes it cost-effective for web projects of all sizes.
2.2 PHP Routers : PHP routers are tools that manage URL requests in
web applications, directing them to the appropriate scripts or controllers.
They are essential for organizing and handling complex web projects,
ensuring URLs map to the correct functionality. Routers simplify code
structure, making it easier to manage and scale web applications while
enhancing user experience by enabling clean and user-friendly URLs.

2.3 Mysql : MySQL in PHP is a database system used to store and

manage data in web applications. Its importance lies in efficiently
organizing and retrieving data, allowing PHP applications to deliver
dynamic and content-rich experiences. MySQL's reliability and
compatibility make it a fundamental tool for developing data-driven
PHP websites and applications.

2.1 JavaScript: JavaScript is a versatile programming language

primarily used for creating dynamic and interactive elements on
websites. Its importance lies in enhancing user experiences by enabling
features like form validation, animations, and real-time updates without
the need for page refreshes. JavaScript plays a vital role in modern web
development, making websites more engaging and responsive to user
interactions.
