1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The proposed Online magazine Management system will be as a result of development form the
php and the javascript hence running as a web application. Having considered all this, a resultant
website making good use of the MySQL as a database that if freely available and is capable of
running in many platforms. The main objective of this project is to develop an online magazine
management system that will enable the recording of all the information about the magazines.
This research paper ought to bring out the clear explanation of the online magazine management
system with some dataflow diagrams. These diagrams are meant to provide the design of the
structured analysis of a system [5].
1.2 Document Convention
All the procedures laid down by the software requirements specifications we followed to the
point. Several components and the particular segments were clearly arranged together to get the
final product of the online magazine management system. This being a document with a resultant
means of payment, its with no doubt that it is later on considered a very important document for
the whole process of development [4].
1.3 Intended Audience
Having developed the online magazine management system, another factor to consider is the
final audience to whom the system aims at satisfying their needs. Of importance to note is that
the system is relevant throughout all the stages of life from students to the teachers and finally
the general public. Information being displayed through the system allows all the sections of the
society to at least be represented. This system could be of much importance during the times of

promotions, any advertising on the surveying procedures and the rewarding process done to
several customers by their companies [3].
1.4 Scope
All the libraries within the town appear to be the most appropriate scope to this research paper.
The proposed online magazine management system will be put into good use at all the stations in
the city. From the planning set in place, the magazines and the journals will all be put into an
organized set from which every user will be able to get a clear view of the same. All the
information needed by the general public will be provided here in this proposed online magazine
management system.
