Description
Online Railway Reservation System – PHP & MySQL Project
The Online Railway Reservation System is a real-time web-based application developed using PHP and MySQL to simplify the process of booking and managing train tickets. This system replaces manual railway reservation methods with a structured digital platform where passengers can book tickets online, employees can manage daily operations, and administrators can monitor and control the entire system.
The project replicates real-world railway booking scenarios and supports multiple user roles including Admin, Employee, and Passenger. It is an ideal academic project for IT and computer science students who want practical experience in developing multi-user web applications with database connectivity and role-based authentication.
