Introduction:
Introduction about your project two to three paragraph
The social media platform project aims to create a dynamic and interactive online space where users
can connect, share, and engage with others in real-time. The primary goal of the project is to foster
meaningful interactions by providing a user-friendly platform that supports essential social
networking features. These include creating and managing user accounts, posting and sharing
content, liking and interacting with posts, following friends, and engaging in private or group chats.
The platform is designed to prioritize user satisfaction by ensuring seamless navigation, robust
security through user authentication, and a responsive interface that enhances the overall user
experience.

At its core, the project encompasses a range of functionalities tailored to meet the needs of modern
social media users. Users can create accounts with secure authentication, allowing them to
personalize their profiles and connect with friends. They can post text, images, or videos, and
interact with others by liking, commenting, or sharing posts. The platform also supports real-time
messaging, enabling users to chat privately or in groups, fostering deeper connections. Additionally,
users can follow friends, stay updated with their activities, and manage their content by editing or
deleting posts as needed. These features are designed to create an engaging and inclusive
environment where users feel empowered to express themselves and build communities.

User satisfaction is a central focus of the project, achieved through intuitive design, reliable
performance, and a commitment to privacy and security. By incorporating user feedback and
continuously improving the platform, the project aims to deliver a social media experience that is
both enjoyable and meaningful. Whether it’s sharing moments, staying connected with friends, or
discovering new content, the platform strives to be a versatile and dependable space for users to
interact and grow their networks.

Project Category: -
Web-based Application (Database Management System) The Social media
platform under the Web-Based Application category, specifically as a Database
Management System (DBMS). This means the system is accessible via a web
browser and relies on a structured database to manage its operations efficiently

Tools Platform/Language to be used: -

Software Requirements: -
 Front End:
Html: HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML
describes the structure of a Web page. HTML consists of a series of elements. For

CSS: CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets .CSS describes how HTML elements are to
be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of work. It can control
the layout of multiple web pages all at once. External stylesheets are stored in CSS files.

JavaScript: JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to

implement complex features on web pages. JavaScript is a high-level. It has dynamic
typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions. It has application
programming interfaces (APIs) for working with text, dates, regular expressions,
standard data structures, and the Document Object Model (DOM)

 Back End:
PHP (server-side scripting): PHP is a scripting language used on servers that is
simple to embed in HTML. A scripting language is a type of programming language used
in runtime contexts. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a versatile and widely used server-
side scripting language for creating dynamic and interactive web applications. Whether
 you’re a seasoned developer or a beginner eager to delve into the world of web
development, this PHP tutorial is your gateway to mastering the intricacies of PHP
programming

MYSQL: MySQL is a relational database that uses structured query language MySQL
is open-source software, which means it is freely available for use. MySQL is open-
source and free software. MySQL database that provides for how to manage database
and to manipulate data with the help of various SQL queries. These queries are: insert

➢ Browser: A web browser is an application for accessing websites. When a user
requests a web page from a particular website, the browser retrieves its files from a web
server and then displays the page on the user’s screen
➢ Xampp Server: XAMPP is a completely free, easy to install Apache distribution
containing MariaDB, PHP, and Perl. The XAMPP open-source package has been set up
to be incredibly easy to install and to use.

Hardware Requirements: -
 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz (for smooth
performance).
 RAM: 4GB (for handling multiple processes).
 Hard Disk: SSD (for software installation and data storage).
