Project looks good. I will apply the project to register students in my department next semester. Have set up a website http://www.uniswa.sz/academic/science/maths
and will add a link to student registration. I'm so excited about this project because it is very relevant to the work that I do. Thanx Mac.
Why release project so early??? Guess I'm the one who was nagging for the project from Mac. So i'm guilty as charged. I had two weeks to spare in early August and I used that time to do nothing but PHP. As a result I happened to finish the Masterskill tasks early. Since I wanted to capitalize on the momentum I had gained, I had to ask for the project. So I apologize for putting pressure on people.
Cheers

hey, no worries
i am just as excited!!! cant wait to get started. i also read in sem 1 that you need to put your UN and PW etc in an external file. this means that you are going to have to include this file anywahere where you are going to make database calls.
if you are including other files that also do database calls on the same page where you have included the UN/PW file, you shouldnt need to include it again. but if you feel you must, rather use include_once()
i do the same with my functions folder.
hope that can be of assistance to someone

Is it possible to include extra functionality on the project?
Like add extra features besides the ones that is required for
the project?

personally i dont see why not.
as long as you keep within the "idea" of the project.
from personal experience, i have learned that if your requirement is to write a system that will return hours logged per week and per month, then do just that.
Dont try and give more than what they asked for, eg a break down of their day hours aswell because then they start taking advantage and wanting more but arent willing to pay for the extra's.
i dont think this rule applies here but it is something to watch out for. also if something goes wrong, then they start with, i didnt ask for that etc...

1. I'll peruse your code and make my own mind up
2. I'll populate your database - which is my database when I use your app.
3. Optional - no extra marks but hey, show me what you can do. It adds to the experience...
4. Correct. That is why personal details are separate from course registration. Should a student register for more than one course, one only needs to update one table....
5. No. It's historic information. I want to know for which courses a student registered, regardless if the course is offered or not.

Those of you who may need a partner in working on a php-webdesign project in future don't hesitate to holla at me @ sandilemotsa@gmail.com
Over-n-out to.

Re: Prac available September 12, 2007 01:24PM |
so true, i know you try and write as little code as possible whereby having less to maintain but also remembering that if some one else needs to edit your code, it must not be too complex.
now that the moving is over, i can start focusing on my studies again.
just want to crack the last part of chap 6 and then i am on it! hope you did lots of user testing.
are we allowed to use smarty as our templating structure? i have started playing around with it and it looks quite insane (interesting/awesome)
