Movie Ticket Booking System using PHP and MySQL
The Movie Ticket Booking System is a web-based platform developed to digitalize the traditional ticket reservation process, enabling users to browse movies, select showtimes, and book tickets online efficiently. The system allows administrators to manage movie listings, schedules, and seat availability, while users can register, log in, view currently running and upcoming movies, and reserve seats in real-time. Once a booking is confirmed, the system generates a digital ticket and updates seat availability automatically.
This system has been implemented using PHP for backend programming and MySQL as the database management system, ensuring a robust, dynamic, and scalable architecture. The platform supports two primary user roles — Administrator and Registered User. Administrators can manage theaters, movies, show schedules, and bookings, while registered users can view available movies, choose convenient showtimes, select preferred seats, and confirm bookings.
