Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System Using PHP

This source code of a Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System Using PHP which I will be sharing today is an online version of my previous post entitled Internet Laboratory Management System.

In this version, it is created using PHP and MYSQLi and this project has an admin side and frontend side.

This system has a registration of students wherein all the registered students can now be enrolled in the system so that they will be able to avail their allocated time which is equivalent to 10 hours that is consumable within the semester.

When the student has consumed their allotted time, their account will be automatically banned.

The system also monitoring of live users using the Live Monitor feature. As well as the WIFI Monitoring is also available in this system.

Here are the following features.

Admin Side

  • Manage Students Record
  • Manage Users
  • Enrollment Module
  • Manage Course
  • Live Monitor
  • Student Logs
  • Wifi Monitoring
  • Banned Students
  • Reports(Student Records, Banned Students, Individual Student Logs)

You can Login to admin Side using this admin account:

  • Username: admin
  • Password:j

Frontend Side

  • Student Profile
  • Account Details
  • Time Logs

You can login to frontend side using this student account:

  • Username: edsel

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this PHP management system work?

Standard PHP + MySQL architecture: HTML/Bootstrap forms for input, PHP scripts (with PDO/mysqli for safe queries) for CRUD logic, sessions for auth, optional TCPDF for printable reports.

What PHP and MySQL versions does this project require?

Most projects in this batch run on PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2 with MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10+. A few older projects need PHP 5.6 (deprecated, use XAMPP 7.x). To run: install XAMPP / WAMP / Laragon, extract project to htdocs, import the included .sql file via phpMyAdmin, edit the connection file (usually config.php or db_connect.php) with your DB credentials, browse to the project URL in your browser.

How do I set up the database for this PHP project?

Open phpMyAdmin (http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ on XAMPP), create a new empty database with the name specified in the project’s config.php. Click the Import tab, choose the included .sql file, click Go. Then edit config.php (or includes/connection.php) with: ‘localhost’, your MySQL username (usually ‘root’), your MySQL password (usually blank for XAMPP), and the database name.

Can I use this PHP project for a BSIT capstone or thesis?

Yes, but extend it. A bare CRUD app is too narrow for full capstone scope. Add: user roles via session checks, reports/dashboards (Chart.js + AJAX), PDF exports (TCPDF library), email notifications (PHPMailer), real domain extension (analytics, audit log, multi-branch support). Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.

Why am I getting ‘connection error’ or ‘undefined function mysqli_connect’?

Three common PHP issues: (1) Connection error: Apache + MySQL services not running in XAMPP control panel, OR database name in config.php does not match what you created in phpMyAdmin. (2) ‘undefined function mysqli_connect’: MySQL extension not enabled, in php.ini uncomment extension=mysqli (then restart Apache). (3) ‘No such file or directory’: MySQL socket path wrong, use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the connection string.

Where can I find more PHP projects with source code?

Browse the PHP Projects hub for the full library (300+ vanilla PHP systems). For modern PHP MVC alternatives see Laravel Projects (74 systems) or CodeIgniter Projects (32 systems). For BSIT-focused capstone idea lists see 150 Best Capstone Project Ideas.
