 Abstract
Online Birth Certificate System maintains a good record of date of birth
of people. This system helps admin to view data of date of birth of
people who reside in country.

The main objective of “Online Birth Certificate System” project is to

providing easier registration of date of birth and gets certificate of birth
online which save lots of time.
 Introduction
Introduction:-
In Online Birth Certificate System we use PHP and MySQL Database. This project
has two module i.e. admin and user.

Admin Module

1. Home: In this section, admin can briefly view the total number of new
application, total verified application and total rejected application.

2. Birth Application: In this section, admin view the application details and they
have also right to change application status according to current status.

3. Reports: In this section admin can view the application details in a particular
period.

4. Search: In this section, admin can search application with the help of customer
application

Admin can also update his profile, change the password and recover the
password.

User Module
1. Home Page: In this section, user can view welcome page of web application.

2. Birth Reg Form: In this section, user can fill the form of birth certificate and see
the status of his/her application.

3. Certificate: In this section user can take print of verified certificate.

User can also update his profile, change the password and recover the password.
Purpose:-

The purpose of developing birth certificate management system is to

computerized the tradition way of birth registration. Another purpose
for developing this application is to generate the report automatically.

Scope:-

Births registration plays a very important role in planning of various

government schemes. All the important information like place of birth
date, place of birth and vital particular at the time of Births are required
in various places so this project helps to maintain all these records at
one place which is useful for government as well as people.

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an
open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX
and Windows. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient
and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the
current HTTP standards.
The Apache HTTP Server ("httpd") was launched in 1995 and it has
been the most popular web server on the Internet since April 1996. It
has celebrated its 20th birthday as a project in February 2015.

 Analysis and Design

Analysis:

In present all birth certificate system work done on the paper. The

whole year data is stored in the registers. We can’t generate reports as

per our requirements because its take more time to calculate the date

of birth report.

Disadvantage of present system:

• Not user friendly: The present system not user friendly because

data is not stored in structure and proper format.

• Manual Control: All report calculation is done manually so there is

a chance of error.

• Lots of paper work: Visitors maintain in the register so lots of

paper require storing details.

• Time consuming
Design Introduction:
Design is the first step in the development phase for any techniques
and principles for the purpose of defining a device, a process or system
in sufficient detail to permit its physical realization.

Once the software requirements have been analyzed and specified the
software design involves three technical activities - design, coding,
implementation and testing that are required to build and verify the
software.

The design activities are of main importance in this phase, because in

this activity, decisions ultimately affecting the success of the software
implementation and its ease of maintenance are made. These decisions
have the final bearing upon reliability and maintainability of the system.
Design is the only way to accurately translate the customer’s
requirements into finished software or a system.

Design is the place where quality is fostered in development. Software

design is a process through which requirements are translated into a
representation of software. Software design is conducted in two steps.
Preliminary design is concerned with the transformation of
requirements into data
UML Diagrams:
Actor:
A coherent set of roles that users of use cases play when
interacting with the use `cases.

Use case:A description of sequence of actions, including variants, that a

system performs that yields an observable result of value of an actor.

UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a language for

specifying, visualizing and documenting the system. This is the step
while developing any product after analysis. The goal from this is to
produce a model of the entities involved in the project which later need
to be built. The representation of the entities that are to be used in the
product being developed need to be designed.
USECASE DIAGRAMS:

Use case diagrams model behavior within a system and helps the
developers understand of what the user require. The stick man
represents what’s called an actor.

Use case diagram can be useful for getting an overall view of the
system and clarifying who can do and more importantly what they can’t
do.

Use case diagram consists of use cases and actors and shows the
interaction between the use case and actors.

• The purpose is to show the interactions between the use case

and actor.
• To represent the system requirements from user’s perspective.
• An actor could be the end-user of the system or an external
system.

USECASE DIAGRAM: A Use case is a description of set of sequence of

actions. Graphically it is rendered as an ellipse with solid line including
only its name. Use case diagram is a behavioral diagram that shows a
set of use cases and actors and their relationship. It is an association
between the use cases and actors. An actor represents a real-world
object. Primary Actor – Sender, Secondary Actor Receiver.

Class Diagram:

A description of set of objects that share the same attributes

operations, relationships, and semantics
ER Diagram:

The Entity-Relationship (ER) model was originally proposed by Peter in

1976 [Chen76] as a way to unify the network and relational database
views. Simply stated the ER model is a conceptual data model that
views the real world as entities and relationships. A basic component of
the model is the Entity-Relationship diagram which is used to visually
represent data objects. Since Chen wrote his paper the model has been
extended and today it is commonly used for database design for the
database designer, the utility of the ER model is:

• It maps well to the relational model. The constructs used in the ER

model can easily be transformed into relational tables.
• It is simple and easy to understand with a minimum of training.
Therefore, the model can be used by the database designer to
communicate the design to the end user.
• In addition, the model can be used as a design plan by the
database developer to implement a data model in specific
database management software.

ER Notation
There is no standard for representing data objects in ER diagrams. Each
modeling methodology uses its own notation. The original notation
used by Chen is widely used in academics texts and journals but rarely
seen in either CASE tools or publications by non-academics. Today,
there are a number of notations used; among the more common are
Bachman, crow's foot, and IDEFIX.

All notational styles represent entities as rectangular boxes and

relationships as lines connecting boxes. Each style uses a special set of
symbols to represent the cardinality of a connection. The notation used
in this document is from Martin. The symbols used for the basic ER
constructs are:

• Entities are represented by labeled rectangles. The label is the

name of the entity. Entity names should be singular nouns.

• Relationships are represented by a solid line connecting two

entities. The name of the relationship is written above the line.

Relationship names should be verbs

• Attributes, when included, are listed inside the entity rectangle.

Attributes which are identifiers are underlined. Attribute names

should be singular nouns.

• Cardinality of many is represented by a line ending in a crow's

foot. If the crow's foot is omitted, the cardinality is one.

Existence is represented by placing a circle or a perpendicular bar on
the line. Mandatory existence is shown by the bar (looks like a 1) next
to the entity for an instance is required. Optional existence is shown by
placing a circle next to the entity that is optional.

MySQL Data Tables:

Admin Table:(Table name is tbladmin)

This store admin personal and login details.

User Table(Table name is tbluser)

This stores detail of registered users.

Application Table: (Table name is tblapplication)

This table stores the detail of user who applies for birth certificate.
 Implementation and System Testing
After all phase have been perfectly done, the system will be
implemented to the server and the system can be used.

System Testing

The goal of the system testing process was to determine all faults in our
project .The program was subjected to a set of test inputs and many
explanations were made and based on these explanations it will be decided
whether the program behaves as expected or not. Our Project went through
two levels of testing

1. Unit testing

2. Integration testing

UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is commenced when a unit has been created and
effectively reviewed .In order to test a single module we need to
provide a complete environment i.e. besides the section we would
require

• The procedures belonging to other units that the unit under test
calls

• Non local data structures that module accesses

• A procedure to call the functions of the unit under test

with appropriate parameters

1. Test for the admin module

• Testing admin login form-This form is used for log in of

administrator of the system. In this form we enter the username
and password if both are correct administration page will open
otherwise if any of data is wrong it will get redirected back to the
login page and again ask the details.

• Report Generation: admin can generate report from the main

database.
INTEGRATION TESTING

In the Integration testing we test various combination of the project

module by providing the input.

The primary objective is to test the module interfaces in order to

confirm that no errors are occurring when one module invokes the
other module.

 Conclusion:
This Application provides a computerized version of Birth Certificate
which helps admin to view data of date of birth of people who reside
in country.

It makes entire process online and can generate reports. It has a

facility of user’s login where user can fill the application details and
send to admin.

The Application was designed in such a way that future changes can be
done easily. The following conclusions can be deduced from the
development of the project.

• Automation of the entire system improves the productivity.

• It provides a friendly graphical user interface which proves
to be better when compared to the existing system.
• It gives appropriate access to the authorized users
depending on their permissions.
• It effectively overcomes the delay in communications.
• Updating of information becomes so easier.
• System security, data security and reliability are the striking
features.
• The System has adequate scope for modification in future if
it is necessary.
