provides users with an intuitive interface to browse pet profiles, search for pets based on various
criteria, and manage their adoption applications. The use of responsive design principles ensures that
the platform is accessible across different devices, providing a seamless experience for users on
desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

➢ On the server side, PHP handles the backend logic, processing user requests, and interacting
with the SQL database. The database stores crucial information such as user data, pet profiles,
adoption records, and communication logs. PHP scripts are used to query the database, perform
CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, and generate dynamic content based on user
inputs. This integration ensures that the platform can efficiently manage and display up-to-date
information, improving the overall user experience.
Technologies used:
➢ HTML:

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.HTML is the standard markup language for
creating Web pages.HTML describes the structure of a Web page.HTML consists of a series of
elements.HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content.

➢ CSS:

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.CSS describes how HTML elements are to be
displayed on

8|Page
screen, paper, or in other media.CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web
pages all at once. External stylesheets are stored in CSS files
➢ JS:

JS (Java Script) is used for:

(i) Client side validation of form elements instead of sending data to server every time.
(ii)To insert new elements such as text box etc. to the website on the go.
(iii) To provide users notifications from the server.
(iv) To load data in the background from the server and loaded on to the page side without
reloading.
➢ PHP:
PHP is an acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”. PHP is a widely-used, open source
scripting language. PHP scripts are executed on the server. PHP is free to download and use PHP

 DESIGN

Introduction:
The design phase shows how the project has been implemented. The components involved in the
project. In this one or more designs are developed which gives the apparent results for the project.
UML (Unified Modelling language) is a standard language for specifying, visualising, constructing
and documenting the artifacts of software systems. UML diagrams are simple to understand. UML
represents two different types of diagrams:
1)Structural diagrams:

These diagrams represents how the system is going to be built. These define the structure of
the system and the components involved in the system. It shows the static features of the system
The structural diagrams are:
• Class diagrams
• Object diagrams
• Components diagrams
• Deployment diagrams
2)Behavioural diagrams:
These diagrams represent the dynamic behaviour of the system. The interactions in the system
are shown using the behavioural diagrams The behavioural diagrams are:
• Activity diagrams
• Interaction diagrams
• Sequence diagram
• Collaboration diagram
• Use case diagrams
We have chosen class diagram, use case diagram and Sequence diagram for showing the static and
dynamic features of our project
UML Diagrams:

➢ Usecase Diagram:
Usecase diagram represents the user interactions with the system. It shows customer
relationship with different usecases. It helps in designing a system from users perspective.It also
shows the different functionalities provided by the system.

10 | P a g e
This usecase diagram shows that a user can login and logout of the system ,place the order, update
profiles, manage orders, sell their pets, manage selling pets.
➢ Class Diagram:
• It represents the structure of the system showing systems classes, attributes, operations
and relationships among the objects. It is a basic notation for other structure diagrams
in UML

11 | P a g e
This class diagram has the following classes:
1) Owner
2) Pet
3) Controller Home
4) Owner Service
5) Pet Service
One or more users can use the web app to sell or buy the pet.

➢ Sequence diagram:
It is a type of interaction diagram which shows how a group of objects work together in the
system.
It shows how objects and components interact with each other to complete a process.
This sequence diagrams represent how the interactions in our website takes place once a
valid user logins into the system, the system checks if the credentials are present in the database.
If he is a valid user he will be navigated to next page where he can perform different operations
like buying pets, selling their pets ,viewing pets. Once he finished his tasks user can logout of the
system.

8. Scalable and Secure Infrastructure: Ensuring the platform is scalable, secure, and performs
efficiently.

Method of Implementation:
The implementation of the Online Pet Adoption Platform involves a structured approach,
starting with frontend development and moving through backend development, real-time
communication, and finally, security and performance optimization. In the frontend development
phase, we utilize HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a responsive and user-friendly interface.
HTML provides the structural foundation, while CSS enhances the visual aesthetics, ensuring the
platform is accessible across various devices. JavaScript, particularly with the use of frameworks
like React.js, is employed to build dynamic and interactive elements, allowing users to browse pet
profiles, perform searches, and manage their adoption applications smoothly.
Backend development is carried out using PHP for server-side scripting, handling the core
logic and business processes of the platform. PHP scripts interact with a SQL database, which is
used to store and manage crucial data such as user information, pet profiles, and adoption records.
The database is designed with a robust schema to facilitate efficient data retrieval and storage. PHP
ensures that all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are performed efficiently,
providing dynamic content generation based on user interactions. By integrating the backend with

14 | P a g e
the frontend, we ensure that user requests are processed seamlessly, and relevant data is presented
in real-time.
Real-time communication and security are critical components of the platform. For real-time
interactions, WebSocket technology is implemented to enable instant messaging and notifications
between users and shelters. This ensures a responsive and engaging user experience. Additionally,
email notifications are integrated to keep users informed about their adoption application statuses
and other relevant updates. Security measures include the use of HTTPS and SSL/TLS to encrypt
data in transit, session management to maintain user states securely, and regular database
optimization to ensure fast and reliable data access. By following these steps, the platform is built
to be scalable, secure, and user-friendly, ultimately enhancing the pet adoption process for all users
involved.
