Student Management System Project
Student Management System Project
In this lesson, you will build a real-world Student Management System using PHP and MySQL. This project will help you apply all the concepts learned so far, including CRUD operations, authentication, and database design.
Project Overview
The Student Management System allows you to:
- Add student records
- View student details
- Update student information
- Delete student data
Database Design
Create a database and table for students.
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
email VARCHAR(100),
course VARCHAR(100)
);
Step 1: Database Connection
$conn = new mysqli(“localhost”, “root”, “”, “test_db”);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die(“Connection failed”);
}
?>
Step 2: Add Student (Create)
$name = $_POST[‘name’];
$email = $_POST[’email’];
$course = $_POST[‘course’];
$stmt = $conn->prepare(“INSERT INTO students (name, email, course) VALUES (?, ?, ?)”);
$stmt->bind_param(“sss”, $name, $email, $course);
$stmt->execute();
?>
Step 3: View Students (Read)
$result = $conn->query(“SELECT * FROM students”);
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row[‘name’] . ” – “ . $row[‘course’];
}
?>
Step 4: Update Student
$stmt = $conn->prepare(“UPDATE students SET name=?, email=?, course=? WHERE id=?”);
$stmt->bind_param(“sssi”, $name, $email, $course, $id);
$stmt->execute();
?>
Step 5: Delete Student
$stmt = $conn->prepare(“DELETE FROM students WHERE id=?”);
$stmt->bind_param(“i”, $id);
$stmt->execute();
?>
