9. Frontend Files
Although these are not PHP files, you would also need the following frontend files to render the
UI of the system:
Database Structure
These PHP files will rely on a MySQL database (or any relational database) to manage student
and clearance data. The following tables might be needed:
students: Store student details (e.g., name, admission number,
status).
clearances: Store the clearance status for each department per
student.
departments: Store department names (e.g., Finance, Library,
Academics).
users: Store staff/admin login credentials.
notifications: Store notifications for students and staff.
clearance_reports: Store student clearance reports.
Would you like assistance with the database schema, PHP code for specific files, or the system
flow?
