Technologies We propose using PHP/SMARTY as a technology for your project. Reasons for selecting this technology are given below:

•

Integration opportunities - All open source products, like phpBB and Wordpress, are created using PHP. Adding new modules to the program as well as integrating with other open source projects becomes seamless.

•

Scalability - Large sites like Facebook.com and mySpace.com are created using PHP.

•

Cost savings - Being open source, you don’t pay any license fee. Hosting for PHP is cheaper than that for Microsoft technology.

•

Abstraction - Internet technology evolves too fast. Every year one has to update the look and feel of the site because it gets outdated. Separating the presentation layer in SMARTY makes this job very easy because you are not touching the heart of the application.

Tier

Role

Presentation Tier

This tier will contain the user CSS, SMARTY, Ajax , PHP interface, which will be available

Technology

to the end users. All the Ajax effects will be created using yahoo UI framework Business Tier

This tier will manage business PHP code processes, rules and logic. This will contain the components and the business logic.

Database Tier

This tier contains having all the data

database MYSQL

Architecture

In order to provide accessibility, scalability, flexibility and robustness, the application should be built using the MVC (Model, View, and Controller) architecture using SMARTY and PHP. SMARTY is used to abstract the PHP code from HTML i.e. SMARTY becomes your presentation layer. This architecture facilitates the separation of the application code from presentation. Typically, the application code contains the business logic of your application, written and maintained in PHP code. This is the heart of your application. It is a bad practice to keep business logic and presentation at the same place. Presentation controls the view of the end user. This is the face of your application. This architecture allows you to change the presentation without touching the business logic and changing the business logic without changing the view. Database We will use MYSQL 5.0 Database. All the queries and tables can be migrated to Oracle in future if you want to scale the site. Web Server Apache web server that runs on Linux will be used for the web server.

17

Operating System Linux 10.2 and Microsoft Windows will be used as the development environment.

Once the application is completely tested and has been launched for public use there will be three months of warranty period where any bugs with the application are fixed. This period cannot be used to add any additional features into the site. This period can be extended or reduced at the time of final signing of agreement. An additional warranty on the code itself is valid with NO time limit, in case the website should have any problem in terms of its functionalities. This also goes for SEO-friendly coding, which a guarantee is given to the client. If the code is not SEO-friendly, it would need to be changed/fixed free of charge. Note: Warranty period will continue for a period of 60 days post launch date of the project.
