Student Attendance
ABSTRACT
This project focuses on the development of a web based attendance register system, called mobile student attendance monitor. This project is motivated due to the fact that the student's attendance record is the most important element which can reflect their academic achievement in the institutions.
Mostly, the attendance register is circulated in the lecture rooms by the lecturers. This is a very time consuming method and not ideal for a large number of students in a big lecture hall. The aim of the project is to develop a user friendly, efficient and effective mobile attendance system that provides an alternative solution to manual attendance in the educational institutions.
The development of this prototype system has been built using the web-based applications such as PHP, My SQL and VB.NET to deal the students' attendances by using RFID reader. As, most of the academic institutions provide their students and staffs, ID cards with RFID tags on them. These cards are also known as 'Contactless smart cards'. This project is designed to collect and manage student attendance through this technology which works on the verification basis of the students and recording their time of entrance and exit in the lecture hall.
Keyword: web based prototype, PHP, MySQL, VB.NET, RFID, readers, tag, and contactless smart cards.

Introduction
Management in organizations is a very important aspect in every field as economy is growing at a very fast speed in this busy world. One of the most important factors of the management of nearly all the organizations is to keep the records of the attendance of the individuals. Many researches and the evidences in them have shown that there is an important relationship between the attendances and the performances of the individuals. If the individuals do not attend the places, their performances will link to poor retentions and results. The development of this system is provoked due to
