Hey Mac

Sorry to bug you with this but just to make sure, (have read it in the previous topics but rather be sure then mess up).
Can we use javascript where necessary (but mainly PHP) and can we use CSS to pimp it out? LOL

Thanks Mac

Yes, but I won't mark it smiling smiley

Also, make sure it works - if it does not work, then I cannot test if your page works!

Hi Mac,

Can I create logins to distinguish between admin users and normal users by setting different access levels?
Can I for example link a logged in student with the edit / delete facility for records linked only to their student ID, and pure simple search functionality for non logged in users as well as a separate admin section if access level tests > '2' I would achieve this through sessions.
I am feeling the need to lay this out for a real world scenario.
Please let me know if this is acceptable.

Thanks Mac, great news.
I think it will give me a greater of the scope of knowledge so far.

Hi mac

will we be penalized if we have or insert, update and delete functions as separate pages ? and if we assume that a student can register for more than one course can we make a separate page to insert all that info into the table?

You should try and have them all on one page, but it is ok if you have a delete page that does all the deleting for all the pages.
But you should not have a seperate page to handle multiple registrations, since you can catch these in an array, then loop through the array (with an insert statement in the array loop). So whether the student registers for one or more course is irrelevant if it is caught in an array.

Language: PHP
$array=$_POST[';cname......... //your form had a list with e.g. <input type=.... name=';cname[]';....
$count = count($array); // this counts how many elements the array has, so it can be one for a single course registration
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
mysql_query("INSERT........ 
 echo "Registration copmpleted"
 }

Having said that, it does not mean you HAVE to do it this way.

With that does that mean that we have to insert the information on course_student table when we insert into the student_reg table? what i mean by that is do we have it on the student_reg insert or can we get the user to insert the data later in a separate page?

Where do you get this sentence?
At the student_reg insert. In general one registers personal information, and then register for courses (or products or what have you) but remember this course is at code level - not at functionality level.

Hi Mac

Sorry it seems i misunderstood where to put the code but just to make sure where would we run the code that inserts into the course_student table?

You can put it in an if/else statement on the registration page

Language: PHP
if($submit){
//insert into db
}
else {
//show registration form
}
