ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
All praises to Almighty Allah, for making all of this happen and serving as an inspiration for
future endeavors.
A study or a project of this volume can never be the outcome of a single person or just a mere
group of dedicated students, so I express my profound sense of gratitude to those who extended
their whole-hearted help and support to me in completing my project because successful
completion of any work requires guidance and help from a number of people.
Firstly, it gives me an immense pleasure to acknowledge my institute National University of
Computer and Emerging Sciences Islamabad for providing me an opportunity in developing a
project on Pakistan Post Management System in Databases. In addition, I wish to express my
deep sense of gratitude to Dr. Ejaz Ahmad, Associate Professor for permitting me to carry out
this project work and for his guidance and support.
I give sincere thanks to Mr. Majid Hussain and Ms. Salma, my Lab Instructors, for their
special concerns and providing sufficient information related to the topic, which helped me in
completing the project work in time and their timely guidance had been a source of inspiration
in the conduct of my project work.
Last but not the least, we extend our whole-hearted gratitude for the invaluable contribution of
our parents for their blessings and earnest affection and all those persons 'behind the veil' for
their necessary support, which enabled us to complete this project.

ABSTRACT:
This project is about creating a database of to be more specific a Pakistan Post Management
System. The Pakistan Post Management System project will be used for day to day activities
like out return, company details, hub rates, booking, non-delivery, and pickup centers.
Actually, it is not easy to do this process manually because it would become very hectic. Hence
it is recommended to automate the process by developing the relevant software as the world is
moving from manual working to information and technology era where computerization
becomes important in all walks of life. We used PHP as front end and SQL as back end for
developing our project. This project Pakistan Post Management System has been developed on
PHP and SQL. There are two types of users available in the project, first one is Customer and
second one is Admin. Customer user have limited access right to access the system, while the
admin users have full control over the system. We have used PHP for business logic, Oracle
(SQL) as a database, HTML for structure designing, CSS for web page formatting, JavaScript
for form validation and animation.
