How to develop Projects Using PHP and Mysql
Part 12
Project Content Wise-Module 4
1️⃣ Event Management System
4️⃣ User Panel – Event Registration and
Booking Management
🎯 Purpose:
Allow users to browse available events, register/book events, and manage their
own bookings.
💡 Functionalities:
- View list of available events
- View event details (date, time,
description, location, price)
- Register/Book for an event
- View their booking history
- Cancel their own bookings (if
allowed)
- Download booking confirmation
(PDF or simple receipt)
📁 Suggested Files Structure:
/user/
├── events_list.php # Show list of available events
├── event_details.php # View details of a single event
├── book_event.php # Book or register for an event
├── my_bookings.php # View user's bookings
├── cancel_booking.php # Cancel a booking
✅ Why this makes sense as the next step:
- Admin management is done — now
the system should let real users interact.
- Balances your project — both
backend (admin) and frontend (user) workflows.
- It’s an essential flow: Events
don’t just exist — users book them!

💡
Implementation Tips:
1.
Profile Management:
o Provide
form validation on the profile and password change forms to ensure user data
integrity and security.
o Use
hashed passwords (e.g., bcrypt) to securely store user passwords.
2.
Payment Methods:
o Store
only the necessary information related to payment methods for security. For
example, never store full credit card numbers. You can use payment gateway
tokenization services to safely store payment information.
3.
Room Preferences:
o Allow
users to select their preferences while booking a room, and save those
preferences to pre-fill their future bookings.
4.
Admin User Management:
o Implement
CRUD operations for user accounts, allowing admins to update profiles,
deactivate, or delete users.
o Use
pagination for the user list to ensure it doesn't become too large and
difficult to manage.
5.
Security:
o Use
HTTPS for all data transmissions, especially when handling passwords, payment
methods, and sensitive information.
6️⃣ Online Job Portal System
7️⃣ Job Application Management and Employer Dashboard
🎯 Purpose:
To enhance the functionality for employers and job seekers by providing a detailed management interface, tracking the status of applications, and enabling employers to manage their job postings more effectively.
✅ Functionalities to Implement:
🔹 For Employers:
- Manage Job Posts:
- View all posted jobs with the option to edit or delete.
- Track the number of applications per job posting.
- Review Applications:
- Employers can see a list of applicants with the status of their application (Pending, Reviewed, Selected, Rejected).
- Option to change the status of each applicant (e.g., from Pending to Reviewed).
- View resumes and cover letters uploaded by job seekers.
- Search Applications:
- Filter applications by status or job position.
🔹 For Job Seekers:
- Track Application Status:
- Job seekers can log in to their dashboard to see the status of their applications (Pending, Reviewed, Selected, Rejected).
- Update Profile:
- Job seekers can update their resume, cover letter, and contact details.
📁 File/Folder Structure:
/jobs/
├── employer_dashboard.php
# Employer's dashboard to manage job posts and view applications.
├── view_applications.php
# Page to review job applications.
├── update_application_status.php
# Update the status of job applications.
├── job_seeker_dashboard.php
# Job seeker's dashboard to track application status.
├── update_profile.php
# Job seeker profile update form.
🧮 Suggested Database Changes:
1. users table (for storing job seeker profiles)
Add the following fields:
ALTER
TABLE users
ADD
COLUMN resume
VARCHAR(
255);
ALTER
TABLE users
ADD
COLUMN cover_letter TEXT;
2. job_application_status (to track application status updates)
Create a new table for application status history:
CREATE
TABLE job_application_status (
id
INT AUTO_INCREMENT
PRIMARY KEY,
application_id
INT
NOT
NULL,
status ENUM(
'Pending',
'Reviewed',
'Selected',
'Rejected')
DEFAULT
'Pending',
updated_at
TIMESTAMP
DEFAULT
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
FOREIGN KEY (application_id)
REFERENCES applications(id)
);
This will allow employers to track the history of each application and see how its status has evolved over time.
✅ Additional Considerations:
- Notifications: Add email or in-app notifications to alert job seekers when their application status changes.
- Data Validation: Implement strong form validation for file uploads (resumes, cover letters) and ensure proper user input for job posting details.
- Security: Ensure that user data is protected, and implement appropriate access control to prevent unauthorized actions (e.g., a job seeker shouldn't be able to edit or delete job posts).
- User Interface (UI): Consider using a clean, modern UI with clear categories for job seekers to filter by job status or job type. Also, provide a clean dashboard for employers to view applications in a streamlined manner.
8️⃣ Job Recommendations and Notifications
🎯 Purpose:
To improve user engagement by recommending relevant jobs to job seekers based on their preferences and previous interactions. Additionally, notifications will help keep job seekers and employers informed about important events such as application status changes, new job postings, etc.
✅ Functionalities to Implement:
🔹 For Job Seekers:
- Job Recommendations:

Like/Dislike Logic (Basic Explanation):
- If the user clicks like, insert/update the reaction to like.
- If the user clicks dislike, insert/update the reaction to dislike.
- If the user clicks the same button again (e.g., likes a blog they already liked), it removes the reaction.
