Architecture
The system Architecture of the Online Car Rental System defines how different components interact to ensure
seamless functionality. The system follows a three-tier architecture, which includes:
①Frontend (User Interface) – built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and bootstrap, this part of the system allows users
to interacts with the platform by registering, booking cars, and managing their accounts.
②Backend(Server-side Processing) – developed with PHP, the backend handles all business logic, including user
authentication, booking validation, and data processing. Its serves as the connection btw the frontend and the
database.
③Database(Data Storage & Management) – MySQL is used to store all system data, including user details, car
information, booking records, and admin logs. It ensures data consistency and supports efficient retrieval and
updates.
❖ The system architecture ensures secure communication between these components, preventing unauthorized
access and maintain data integrity
