PHP Simple To-Do List Project Report

ABSTRACT

This project demonstrates a web-based To-Do List application using PHP and HTML5. It enables users to

manage their daily tasks effectively. By leveraging MySQL for storage, and HTML5/CSS for the front-end,

this simple application lays a strong foundation for beginner-level full-stack development using the LAMP

stack.

OBJECTIVE

To design and implement a basic task-listing web application that performs Create, Read, and Delete

operations using PHP. The project aims to solidify understanding of server-side scripting, form handling,

database manipulation, and basic front-end integration.

INTRODUCTION

Task management systems are widely used in productivity applications. This project focuses on implementing

one such system using PHP. We use procedural PHP along with MySQL to build a lightweight but functional

To-Do list app. The goal is not only to build an app but to understand how the components interact.

METHODOLOGY

Tools Used:

- PHP: Server-side logic for processing user actions.

- MySQL: Relational database to store the list of tasks.

- HTML5 & CSS: Front-end interface for input and display.

- XAMPP: Local server environment for development.

Steps Followed:
PHP Simple To-Do List Project Report

1. Set up the database with a table to store tasks.

2. Build the main interface with a form to add tasks and list to display them.

3. Create PHP scripts for adding and deleting tasks using POST and GET methods.

4. Connect the scripts to the database using MySQLi functions.

5. Use basic CSS to style the UI.

6. Test locally using the XAMPP server.
