Online Pre-owned/Used Car

Showroom Management System in

PHP Free Source Code
This is a PHP project entitled Online Pre-owned/Used Car Showroom
Management System. This is a web-based application that provides an online
showroom platform for the used cars businesses or companies for the products or
cars that they are selling. This project allows them to give their clients or possible
clients a way to explore and read some information about the cars that are available
to their shop. Each posted used car contains relevant information for the customer to
read or look at about their desired cars. The project was developed using PHP and
MySQL Database. The main purpose of this project is to give the company or
business clients an easy way to search for used cars and know the condition,
features, and etc. without going to the actual place of the shop. This has a pleasant
interface and user-friendly functionalities.
I developed the project using the following:

 PHP Language
 MySQL Database
 HTML
 CSS
 JavaScript
 jQuery
 Ajax

About the Online Pre-owned/Used Car Showroom

Management System
The Online Pre-owned/Used Car Showroom Management System has 2 sides of
the user interface. One is the Public site or the website and the other one is the
Admin Side. The Public Side is the part of the application where the clients or
possible clients browse, search, explore, or check the cars if it is available if they
have already a specific kind of car to buy. They can also filter the list of the available
cars by car types/category or per cars company/brand. As I have mentioned above,
each car listed on the site has information about it such as the price, model, year,
engine type, condition, images, and etc. They can also submit an inquiry about the
car that they wanted to know that is not stated on the content. The Admin Panel is
the side of the application where the management manages the list of cars available
in the shop. This side requires a user credential in order to access the said side's
features and functionalities. This side can be accessed by 2 types of user roles
which are the Administrator and the Staff. The Administrator user can access and
manage all the features and information in the system including the system.
Information and user management while the staff is only limited to car and inquiries
management.
