CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of the study: This project describes the design approach and solution techniques developed for a mailing list manager at the faculty of computer studies of Kampala international university. The problem considered here is the design of a system to assist with the means of communication at the faculty. The design however, anticipates expanding the scope of the problem to accommodate other departments. The solution to the mailing list problem is developed here using hypertext pre processor (PHP), programming language which is a respected technology for webbased applications and allows developers to reach far beyond simple HTML application. We employ an object model which allow for the project to be written efficiently, using standard object-oriented methodologies. The internet has spawned a new need for database that can access via the web. The product developed here takes advantage of this technology.
