1 Introduction
The Online Bank System is a easy to use bank that lets you create multiple accounts. It is
able to perform transactions and also kept the history of all transactions.

1.1 Design Overview

The Online Bank System is based on Apache2. Apache is a freely available Web server that is
distributed under an "open source" license. Version 2.0 runs on most UNIX-based operating
systems (such as Linux, Solaris, Digital UNIX, and AIX), on other UNIX/POSIX-derived
systems (such as Rhapsody, BeOS, and BS2000/OSD), on AmigaOS, and on Windows 2000. It
has an easy-to-use Web interface for all users, including the bank staff and the general public.
The Online Bank System uses MySQL to handle queries efficiently.

2 Detailed Design

Fig. 1

HTML is used to create user friendly interface

and My SQL is used to store the data in database
and to perform queries efficiently. PHP is used to
process MySQL with HTML.

2.1 Architecture
The basic architecture of components used in
Bank System is given in Fig.1
Components

MySQL is used as a RDBMS to store the data and process the data efficiently. The table
ACCOUNT is stored in MySQL.
All the GUIs (menu page, transaction page, view details page) used in Bank System are made in
HTML.
To perform the transaction, to display the details, we are using PHP to connect HTML and
MySQL.
Interfaces

The interface between the brower and all GUI is PHP. The internal database is defined using
MySQL.

Relational Schema
