 PART A

1.0 Brief Introduction

The Survey System is a web-based application designed to create, manage, and analyze surveys. It
allows users to design custom surveys with different types of questions, such as multiple choice,
short answer, and rating scales, and then share the survey with respondents. The system collects
responses, stores them in a database, and provides an easy way for administrators to view the
results. This project introduces essential web development concepts like PHP for server-side
scripting, MySQL for database management, HTML for form creation, and basic user
authentication. By working on this project, beginners can gain hands-on experience with building
dynamic websites, handling user input, and managing data in a real-world application.

2.0 Aim/Benefits of the Micro – Project

The aim of the Survey System is to develop a web-based platform that allows users to create,
distribute, and analyze surveys efficiently. The project aims to provide a simple, user-friendly
interface for survey creation and response collection, enabling administrators to design custom
surveys, gather feedback from participants, and generate meaningful insights from the responses.
Through this project, users can gain practical experience in web development, including PHP for
backend functionality, MySQL for data storage, and basic front-end technologies like HTML and
CSS. The goal is to create a functional and interactive system that automates survey management,
helping users understand how to work with databases, handle user input, and develop dynamic web
applications.

3.0 Course Outcomes Addressed

CO1: Develop program using control statement.

CO4: Use form controls with validation to collect user’s input.

4.0 Proposed Methodology

1. Requirement Analysis and Design: Define the system's functionality and user roles (admin,
respondents), design the database schema, and create wireframes for the user interface.
2. Development: Implement the backend using PHP for survey creation, response collection, and
result generation, while designing the frontend with HTML and CSS for user interaction.
3. Testing and Validation: Perform thorough testing to ensure all system components work as
expected, including functionality, usability, and security.
4. Deployment and Documentation: Deploy the system on a live server, ensuring accessibility, and
provide user and admin documentation for smooth operation and future maintenance.
5. User Training: Provide training materials and tutorials to help users understand how to
create surveys, respond to them, and access survey results effectively.
6. Maintenance and Updates: Regularly update the system to address any bugs, add new
features, and ensure its continued performance based on user feedback.

1.0 Rationale

The Rationale behind the Survey Sphere is to create an accessible, efficient, and user-friendly
platform for creating and managing surveys. Surveys are a crucial tool in various fields, including
business, research, education, and customer feedback, and this system aims to streamline the
process of survey creation, response collection, and data analysis. By developing this project, users
can gain hands-on experience with essential web development skills such as PHP for server-side
scripting, MySQL for database management, HTML and CSS for creating user interfaces, and
JavaScript for enhanced user experience. The project focuses on providing a practical solution for
real-world problems while also helping beginners understand key programming concepts like user
authentication, data handling, and interactive web design. Additionally, the system allows for easy
expansion, enabling developers to add new features as needed, making it both a valuable learning
tool and a versatile application for future use.

3.0 Literature Review
1. Survey Systems and Their Importance: Online surveys have become a crucial tool for data
collection, offering efficiency in gathering and analyzing feedback from many respondents.
They enable faster, more accurate data processing compared to traditional methods, making
them essential for businesses and researchers. (Dillman et al., 2014)
2. Technologies for Development: PHP is widely used for backend development of survey systems
due to its flexibility, ease of integration with MySQL, and support for dynamic content.
Frontend development uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build user-friendly interfaces and
enhance interactivity, making the system more engaging for respondents. (Sommer, 2018;
Williams and Brown, 2019)
3. Key Features and Challenges: Effective survey systems need to support various question types
(e.g., multiple choice, text input), ensure user engagement, and offer customization options. A
significant challenge is ensuring data security and privacy, particularly when handling sensitive
respondent information.
4. Data Management and Security: MySQL databases are commonly used for storing survey data,
including responses and questions, due to their efficiency and scalability. Ensuring data
integrity through input validation and implementing secure data transmission protocols (e.g.,
HTTPS) are critical for maintaining system reliability and protecting user data. (Navathe and
Elmasri, 2017)

4.0 Actual Methodology

1. Requirement Analysis and Planning:
Identify the core features of the system, such as survey creation, response collection, and result
analysis. Determine user roles (admin and respondents), and define the different types of
questions (e.g., multiple-choice, text input). Plan the flow of the system and design the user
interface.
2. System Design and Database Creation:
Design the system architecture, including the frontend layout (using HTML/CSS) and backend
structure (using PHP). Create a MySQL database with tables to store surveys, questions,
responses, and user data (admin/respondent). Define relationships between tables for efficient
data retrieval..
