Hay 77677676

I've gone through the H&L tuts,but working throught the handbook gives you a more broadened view of how to do things because it goes a bit deeper into everything. I should start the project in about a week or so.

I will be starting on Monday as I still have to work through tutorial 17 this weekend. I have found the second half (database SQL) very challenging and difficult.

Started the final project ... Just setup a framework of folders and file locations, a bunch of includes all over the show which limits a lot of code on most pages. I'm writing some classes for this project too, just setup a database class (class db) which establishes the connection, selects the db, you can call a method to post a query as a parameter and it returns an array with the results. Writing a validation class for post variables too, return true or false and based upon the result process a query or throw out an error ... Hows everyone doing? Still have loads to do though ...

It is a warning about a syntax typo in your script. Just use phpmyadmin's inbuilt functions to create the table - much easier!

@ 77677676, get into the root folder of your server and delete your tables manually, then try again, I had some
trouble with deleting tables via phpmyadmin so I did that, you should know where the location of your database is,
delete the whole database folder rather and create them again, try that hopefully will help

I am confused about the student registration form. Is this a form that the student has to fill in? Will the course he/she fills in thus be a dropdown list of available courses pulled from the database that the student has to choose from.
Help anyone?

It can either be a dropdown or checkbox(if a student can register for more than one course), i think its all up to you...And Yes the courses should be pulled out from the database.

@77686160, you should create a table with input fields that include textboes, text areas, drop down menus, and a checkbox for the allow sharing. As for the course, yes you need to fetch them from the database using the while function.

Checkboxes are recommended (choosing more courses), but a bit tricky if a course checkbox is not selected you might get errors if you don't have
any if else statements, whereas a dropdown you forced to select a course
