Free PHP projects with full source code, curated and re-tested for 2026 by the team at PIES IT Solutions. This page lists 300+ downloadable PHP systems, POS, school management, hotel, library, learning management, hospital, government services, all with MySQL databases and step-by-step setup guides.
Most projects here originated as Philippine BSIT capstone or thesis submissions and have been updated for compatibility with modern PHP (7.4 / 8.x). Every project includes the full source, sample database, and basic documentation. Pick the one that matches your capstone domain, then customize it, don’t submit any of them unchanged.
How to choose a PHP project for your capstone
Before you click “download” on the first project that looks cool, narrow the list with three questions:
Will your panel accept the domain? Safe domains: business (POS, sales, inventory, payroll), school (enrollment, attendance, library), government (barangay, voting), healthcare (clinic, hospital). Risky: entertainment, social media clones, anything that looks like a copy of an existing commercial product.
Does the complexity match your timeline? Single-table CRUD apps take 1-2 weeks to customize. Multi-role systems (admin/teacher/student/parent) take 4-6 weeks. Pick a project that fits the time you actually have left in the semester.
Is the codebase still maintainable? Avoid projects that depend on PHP 5.x, they fail on modern XAMPP. Every project on this page has been verified to run on PHP 7.4 or higher as of May 2026 (look for the “PHP 8 tested” badge on each post page).
