ABSTRACT
This study shows how databases can be managed, and allow users, to store and retrieve data in a structured way and also allow them to be integrated with the web. PHP and MySQL are quickly becoming the de facto standard for rapid development of dynamic, databasedriven web sites. This project is developed to bring databases and the web together. PHP has many excellent libraries that provide fast, customized access to DBMSs and is an ideal tool for developing application logic. However, the important component for web database application development is the applications interface that is used to access the database server. Its major advantage is that it permits multiple users to access a database at the same time in a methodical way. An additional benefit of this project is it ability to manage large amounts of related information, and its good search structures. It is recommended that banks should make more use of this project because of its large database storage.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
MySQL and PHP has become one of the most practical and widely used applications. They allow programmers to make sites dynamic, that is to make them customizable and for them to contain real time information.
Thus, this project provides an online database resource for banks.The aim of this project is to allow users to create, edit, transfer and check their accounts online without going to the banks.
Tasks which would have taken hours because of queues in some banks and ATM will be done with speed and accuracy with this database.
1.2
Background of the Study MySQL is a very fast, robust, relational database management system (RDBMS).A database enables you to efficiently store, search, sort, and retrieve data. The MySQL server controls access to your data to ensure that multiple users can work with it concurrently, to provide fast access to it, and ensure that only authorized users can obtain access. Hence, MySQL is a multiuser, multithreaded server. It uses SQL (Structured Query Language), the standard database query language worldwide. MySQL has been publicly available since 1996, but has a development history going back to 1979. It has now won the Linux Journal Readers’ Choice Award on a number of occasions.
PHP is a serverside based scripting language designed specifically for the Web. PHP was conceived in 1994 and was originally the work of one man, Rasmus Lerdorf. It was adopted by other talented people and has gone through three major introduction rewrites to bring us the broad, matured product we see today. As of October 2002, it was in use on more than nine million domains worldwide, and this number is growing rapidly by the day.
The term online became popular in the late ’80s and referred to the use of a terminal, keyboard and TV (or monitor) to access the banking system using a phone line. ‘Home banking’ can also refer to the use of a numeric keypad to send tones down a phone line with instructions to the bank.
Online services started in New York in 1981 when four of the city’s major banks (Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Chemical and Manufacturers Hanover) offered home banking services using the videotext system. Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer online internet banking services to all of its members in Oct, 1994.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
It has been noted that the application of online database system in banks has been slow because of some security problems. And also, if you want to open an account you have to go to the bank and as a result slow down work and also make transfer and enquiry difficult. As a result, this online database system was designed to unite all banks and it makes general banking transaction easier.
