ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This project would not have been possible without the joint efforts of many
individuals. It has been a pleasure for us to acknowledge the assistance and
contributions that were very important and supportive throughout the project. We
would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of them. We owe special thanks to
several people who have devoted much of their time and expertise without which it
would have been very difficult for us to complete our project entitled “Room
Finder”. We are highly indebted to our Project Supervisor Dr. Roshan Chitrakar,
Associate Professor, Nepal College of Information Technology for his valuable
guidance throughout the project development period and for providing technical
support with suggestions that helped our project to grow and foster to a certain
level we didn’t think of reaching in such a short period.
ABSTRACTION
The project entitled “Mero Ghar” is web-based application developed in PHP
language which allows user to find the homes and rooms according to their
requirement and let them advertise their vacant rooms/house using web browsers.
In present scenario customer have to visit different places in search of rooms and
the owners of the house also have to make many contacts to get a decent
people/family. So, using “Mero Ghar” website customer can search rooms online
according to their requirement. For additional information and deals they can
directly contact to the owner of the house since all the contact details of owner are
displayed in the advertisement along with the room/house detail, which will
definitely save the valuable time of both the searchers and the renters. This website
is developed on 3-tier architecture i.e., frontend, backend and database. HTML,
CSS and JavaScript are used for frontend. PHP and MYSQL are used for backend
and database management respectively. So, this website is developed to help the
people to save their time in searching suitable rooms and co-operative customer.

Keywords: PHP, MYSQL, frontend, backend, searchers, renters;

 1. Introduction
Mero Ghar is a web-based application that allows user to find the homes
and rooms according to their requirement and let them advertise their vacant
rooms/house using web browsers. Using “Mero Ghar” website customer can search
rooms online according to their requirement. For additional information and deals
they can directly contact to the owner of the house since all the contact details of
owner are displayed in the advertisement along with the room/house detail, which
will definitely save the valuable time of both the searchers and the renters. So, this
website is developed to help the people to save their time in searching suitable
rooms and co-operative customer.

1.1 Problem Statement

Due to continuous flow of people in city areas for job opportunity, study and
many other reasons it has been difficult for people to get a suitable room. It had
been very difficult to find a room in city areas if you don’t know any people in
particular area. So, with the help of “Mero Ghar” website people don’t have to
worry about finding the rooms. They will have many room options in their hand.
Therefore, this website is developed to help those people who face difficulty in
finding rooms. Also, this website provides the contact information of room owner
so that they can directly talk to the owner and make a deal.

1.2 Project Objectives

 To save valuable time of people in finding the rooms.
 To provide variety of rooms option and to help people in getting room
according to their need and budget.
 To help the people who have vacant room to find the renters.
 1.3 Significance of the Study
The study investigates the need of room finding website. Nowadays people
are compelled to pay whatever their house owner wants them to pay. So, through
this website it will create competition between the owners and we believe there
will be the fixed price range set according to the facility provided in room. More
option gives relief to high rent payers and also to the owners whose rooms stay
vacant for many months due to lack of advertisement.

2. Literature Review
 3.Methodology
For this project we will be using incremental model of software process
model, in which whole requirement is divided into various module. In this model,
each module goes through the requirements, design, implementation and testing
phases. Every subsequent release of the module adds function to the previous
release. The process continues until the complete system is achieved.

3.1 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE

The framework that we planned to incorporate for developing this project
is the Incremental model. This model combines a linear sequential model with the
iterative prototype model. In each increment, new features are added. The phases
of the linear sequential model are Analysis, Design, Coding, and Testing. The
software repeatedly passes through these phases in iteration after delivery of an
increment with progressive changes.

Fig 1: Incremental model

 3.1.1 Analysis phase: In this phase, requirements to develop the system
will be identified and the system functional requirements will be
understood in order to develop the desired system.

3.1.2 Design phase: In this phase, the outcome of the analysis phase i.e.
SRS (Software Requirement Specifications) would be translated into
system’s design. DFD, E-R diagram, use case diagram will be
developed.

3.1.3 Coding phase: In this phase, coding will be done according to the
system design and the working system will be developed by the end
of the process.

3.1.4 Testing phase: In this phase, the system will be tested. With each
testing, certain changes will be made according to the suggestion.
The change will be applied to the system in successive increment
manner until the satisfactory system is achieved.

3.2 Tools to be used

TOOLS PURPOSE

Sublime Text Editor Official IDE for website development
