STUDENT ATTENDANCE TRACKER SYSTEM
(Using PHP and MySQL)

1. Introduction
• Project Title: Student Attendance Tracker System
• Technology Stack: PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Description:
The Student Attendance Tracker System is a web-based application
developed to simplify the process of managing student attendance records. It
provides educational institutions with a digital solution for recording,
tracking, and analyzing student attendance. The system allows teachers to
mark attendance, generate reports, and view statistics, making the attendance
management process efficient and error-free.

2. Objectives
• To automate the attendance management process for schools and
colleges.
• To provide real-time tracking and reporting of student attendance.
• To generate attendance reports for quick analysis.
• To enhance data security and accessibility for attendance records.
3. System Features
• User Authentication: Secure login for admins and teachers.
• Student Management: Add, edit, or delete student records.
• Attendance Tracking: Mark attendance status (Present/Absent) for students.
• Reports & Analysis: Generate reports (daily, weekly, monthly) and export to
PDF.
• Dashboard Overview: Provides summary statistics of attendance data.

4. Technology Stack
• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Backend: PHP
• Database: MySQL
• Libraries/Tools: TCPDF (for PDF report generation)
5. System Architecture
The system follows a three-tier architecture:
• Presentation Layer: The user interface for interacting with the system.
• Business Logic Layer: Handles the application logic for attendance
management.
• Data Access Layer: Manages database interactions using MySQL.

6. Database Design
The database consists of the following tables:
1. Users Table
Column Name, Data Type, Description
id, INT (Primary Key), Unique user ID
username, VARCHAR(50), Username for login
password, VARCHAR(100), Encrypted password
role, ENUM, User role (admin/teacher)
created_at, TIMESTAMP, Timestamp of user creation
2. Students Table
Column Name, Data Type, Description
id, INT (Primary Key), Unique student ID
student_id, VARCHAR(10), Student's unique ID
name, VARCHAR(100), Full name of the student
email, VARCHAR(100), Email address
course, VARCHAR(50), Course enrolled
created_at, TIMESTAMP, Timestamp of record creation
3. Attendance Table
Column Name, Data Type, Description
id, INT (Primary Key), Unique attendance record ID
student_id, VARCHAR(10), Student ID (foreign key)
attendance_date, DATE, Date of attendance
status, ENUM, Attendance status (Present/Absent)
created_at, TIMESTAMP, Timestamp of attendance entry

7. Implementation
• a. User Authentication (login.php)
• The login page allows only registered users (admins or teachers) to access
the system.
• b. Student Management (add_student.php)
• Admins can add new students, update existing details, or delete student
records.
• c. Attendance Tracking (mark_attendance.php)
• Teachers can mark attendance by selecting the student and choosing their
attendance status (Present/Absent).
• d. Report Generation (attendance_report.php)
• Admins and teachers can generate attendance reports based on specified
dates and export them to PDF.

• Copy the project folder to the htdocs directory.
• Create a database named attendance_system in phpMyAdmin.
• Import the attendance_system.sql file to set up the database.
• Configure the db.php file with your MySQL credentials.
• Open your browser and go to:

attendance management in educational institutions. It saves time, reduces manual
errors, and provides a secure way to manage attendance records. Future
enhancements could include mobile compatibility, email notifications, and
analytics dashboards.
