Journal Entry 5

In my current project I was able to do the following things -

• Import the school store database into my own database.
• Manipulate the PHP code.
• I now know how the code makes the data into a navigation.
• I also learned how to, in a way link two tables together.

I am going to try and do the following in the future -

• Make a navigation for "sub-items" for things like hats.
• Be able to make the school store page database driven.
• I also want to make it easier to input information, like the calendars. Although that would probably be too hard for me, so it would just be something to work on after I finish the more basic things.

Simple Include Activity
I did this in a short amount of time, just to get the hang of includes so there is no real data in it.

My School Store Version
This is the version on the school store that I have been playing around with. Unfortunately with all the roster stuff going on, I haven't had enough time to work on it during 8th period as much as I'd have liked to. Basically I was just testing with moving around things, and changing colors.

Journal Entry 3

Well now that I have pretty much finished the included files(I didn't fill in the actual class information, because i felt that all i needed to do was to get the PHP aspect of it). Now I have been working on School Store code that Mat did, I have been able to grasp most of it, but I feel that I could work on it a bit more.

Journal Entry 2

I am currently working on the included files project for PHP. I think it will be really helpful to learn about included files, as the seem to be really helpful part of PHP. When I did some research about included files, the sites I went to talked about security issues and how when you include files it can save passwords or something along those lines. I find information about this at www.php.net/include. So when I work on this project I plan to do some looking into about those security issues, as they seem like a really important thing to deal with.

I Have my php included file up now. To get to it go to by page, and click on the period of body defualts.

So far I have just been reading tutorials, mainly this on http://www.tizag.com/phpT, and http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp. I am trying to figure what the main differences are between HTML and PHP. I have mainly learned that PHP is an embedded scripting language, and helps a lot for creating large websites.

In the process I think that I will also be learning some about blogger, as I am doing this journal here.

My Project

For my project I will be researching and learning PHP. Eventually after learning enough, I am going to try and apply it to my site. I may later change other sites similar to what I did on my homepage. Also I might try using PHP for the next business partner.
