The manual system is messy and time consuming with lack in efficiency. The main objective of this project is to engage all parties in one collaborative online system systematically as a medium in exchanging information for Final Year Project. Developing the system involves the knowledge of web design, web setup, database design, database setup and server setup. FYP Online Management System will be developed in an open source environment. Using Linux operating system on the server platform, the system will utilize MySQL as its database system and Apache as the Web server. The scripting language on server side is PHP while HTML with JavaScript is written on client side. Considering three user groups for FYP Online Management System, there will be different interface and function for each group. Administrator will be managing the system with the task of handling user registrations and accounts. User verification will secure the system. This web enabled project management and its associated features are strongly worth, feasible and relevance in fulfilling the endeavours of the parties concerned.
