PHP Statements
This weeks task have been to finish learning PHP and MySQL and start to put these methods into practice. I have created a basic page to hold these findings which I am happy to report are running smoothly.
I have created a few scripts that process information using PHP. These scripts include a basic interaction form and an eMail form in three instances; basic, with validation and with ‘sticky forms’.
I have also included use of creating a JavaScript include statement to access a twitter feed for updates for a visitor. This was not intended at first but I think using up and coming social network devices for visitors interaction is becoming more prominent in this industry.
All these findings have been commented with code for the visitor to see, which I am beginning to regret due to the amount of time spend coding these findings. If I were to start again I would probably choose to omit this aspect of the build.
I stated in last weeks blog entry that I would ideally be building an image upload form but I feel I may have jumped the gun as I have only just finished the eMail processing. I will now concentrate on the image upload form. This will enable me to add the two elements together to hopefully build some sort of log in system.
So to summarise, items to address this week are:
- Complete an image upload form;
- Start building database access to display the images;
- Research into creating a user log in page to edit submissions;
- To build a JavaScript image gallery.
