Week 8 - PHP & SQL coding

Introducing SQL and database management - Oh dear - surely it can only get easier the more you use it? Where does one start. I understand the concepts of table_id, table_lastname, table_firstname etc etc, but when you mix it with php coding - forget it! I have some serious revision to do!

Week Six

Assignment time! I have the quiz all setup and ready to go with Luke's guidance. All the coding seems to work. Now for the graphics. My assignment is based on the 2008 Beijing Olympics, so I have to be very careful what I select for graphics due to copyright issues. I think i'm going to put 'fireworks' at the top of the page to symbolise 'China' and the celebration of the Olympics and then just keep it simple with a theme colour. I'm still trying to work out the coding for the answer page and have an image pop up with the 'if' statement. Not quite grasping the coding with this feature yet. It may have to do with where the picture is and how it's trying to retrieve it. I'll keep plodding along and if need be there is always the bulletin board if I need help!

Week Five

Luke let us work on our assignments in class today, which was fantastic. I think I am starting to understand it, although the results page was definitely challenging! But with some help from Dan & Billy I was able to produce something beneficial!

Week Four

PHP Coding - Oh lordie! I'm struggling to grasp it and we didn't really have a lot of time in class this week to 'nut it out'. Looks like homework time.
