Online Food Ordering System Introduction

Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 OBJECTIVES
The online food ordering system has been developed to override the problems
prevailing in the practicing manual system. This software is supported to eliminate
and in some cases, reduce the hardships faced by this existing system.
The main objective of the online food ordering system is to manage the details of
item category, food, delivery address, shopping cart. It manages all the information
about item category, customer, shopping cart. The purpose of the project is to build
an application program to reduce the manual work.

The application is used as much as possible to avoid errors while entering the data. It
also provides error message while entering invalid data. No formal knowledge is
needed for the user to use this system. Thus, it proves that it is user-friendly. Online
Food Ordering System, as described above, can lead to error free, secure, reliable and
fast management system.

Online Food Ordering System is a user friendly php/MySQL based project which
helps users to book movie tickets with ease.
The main goal of this project is to provide movie tickets to customers with a simple
interface.
The web page uses html, css and JavaScript in the front end for better appearance and
better interaction with the users, a database engine known as MySQL is used for
storing and retrieving information from the database.
It was developed using a software known as Brackets which is particularly used for
web development.

1.2DBMS
A database management system (DBMS) is system software for creating and
managing databases. The DBMS provides users and programmers with a systematic
way to create, retrieve, update and manage data.

A DBMS makes it possible for end users to create, read, update and delete data in a
database. The DBMS essentially serves as an interface between the database and end
users or application programs, ensuring that data is consistently organized and
remains easily accessible.

A DBMS provides concurrency, security, data integrity, consistency, controls

redundancy and data independence. In this project the Relational DBMS (RDBMS)

used is MySQL. It is an open source software which uses SQL (Structured Query
Language) which is a standard language for storing, manipulating and retrieving data
in databases.

1.3 PHP
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but
also used as a general-purpose programming language. Originally created by Rasmus
Lerdorf in 1994, the PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP
Development Team. PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, but it now stands
for the recursive acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 markup, or it can be used in
combination with various web template systems, web content management
systems and web frameworks.PHP code is usually processed by a
PHP interpreter implemented as a module in the web server or as a Common Gateway
Interface (CGI) executable. The web server software combines the results of the
interpreted and executed PHP code, which may be any type of data, including images,
with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed with a command-line
interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical applications.
