## How It Works

1. **Student Views Fees**: Student logs in and goes to "My Fees" page
2. **Select Fees**: Student clicks "Select Fees" button to choose specific fees
3. **Fee Selection**: Student selects desired fees and clicks "Pay Online"
4. **Payment Processing**: System calculates total for selected fees and redirects to payment page
5. **Payment Gateway**: Student completes payment through UddoktaPay
6. **Payment Verification**: System verifies payment and updates fee records
7. **Fee Updates**: Each selected fee is updated with the paid amount

## Security Features

- Only logged-in students can access the fee selection page
- Fee selection is tied to the specific student
- Payment amounts are validated
- Database transactions ensure data consistency

## Testing

All components have been tested and verified:
- File existence tests
- Database structure tests
- JSON handling tests
- System integration tests

## Access Points

- **Fee Selection Page**: `/fees/select_fees.php` (accessible directly or via sidebar)
- **My Fees Page**: `/fees/my_fees.php` (with new "Select Fees" button)
- **Payment Page**: `/fees/student_payment.php` (enhanced to handle selected fees)
- **Success Page**: `/fees/uddoktapay_success.php` (enhanced to process selected fees)

## Benefits

1. **Flexibility**: Students can choose which fees to pay
2. **Transparency**: Clear display of fees and amounts
3. **Efficiency**: Streamlined payment process
4. **Compatibility**: Works with existing UddoktaPay integration
5. **Audit Trail**: Proper payment records for accounting
6. **Easy Access**: Direct sidebar link for quick access to fee selection

## Future Enhancements

1. Add fee categorization (monthly fees, exam fees, etc.)
2. Implement payment history filtering
3. Add email notifications for payment confirmations
4. Enhance UI with better visual feedback
5. Add support for partial payment of individual fees

This implementation provides students with the same fee selection functionality as found on the reference website, while maintaining compatibility with the existing system architecture.
