OK, I haven’t blogged in awhile so I have a bit of catching up to do. First off, I have made very good progress and have completed a number of major html and php functions that I now need to put together in the overall project. Currently, I am able to create forms that accept the data inputs to my Godaddy.com Domain Web site. I am able to accept a form input and send an email to the inputter acknowledging their actions on the web site. I am able to create a data base and tables via php scripts and also create tables and data using the MySql database administration tool called phpMyAdmin.
Most importantly, I have been able to use forms to update the data in the data base tables. As I have worked through the tutorials in the ‘PHP Visual Quickstart Guide’ book by Larry Ullman, I have needed to call on our Professor Craig to help me problem solve the code. On each script, I have been able to get the scripts to run successfully but not necessarily perform the function that they were intended to perform. That was the point where Craig stepped in and figured out how to adapt and modify the code to perform the task the script was intended to perform. It has certainly been a learning experience. I have learned a lot but I still do not have a sense of comfort with the php coding structures but I am slowly making progress.
My next step is to design the ‘school district’ data base and table structures that I will use in querying the data for my project. My goal is to design a functional school district web site that allows administrators, teachers, students and parent access to the school district web site and access to the data that pertains to them. At this point in time it still feels like a daunting task but step by step I plan on designing and creating a functional school district web site and school district data base
