student_course table - year and fmark
May 16, 2013 08:49PM
Ok so my application is finished but I have these fields in the database and im doing nothing with them!?

what are you guys doing with these fields? the tutorial letter doesnt speak about this at all.

are they being updated in the edit student page>?>?

I think the 'year' goes with the date the student registered or was registered as the case may be. The only field that is left dormant is the 'fmark'(final mark); in fact, it's stated there as 'not used'.

This is to to get you to insert/update/edit a field with no value as it impacts on your sql query

ohh-ohhh - I just assumes we leave it out. I didn't even include it on my insert statement.

I will have to modify my insert statement.

Hi Mac

Sorry, can you please be more clear with your response. i don't understand what you mean. if it has no value, why cant we just leave it blank? or should we be adding a default value?

Mac,

Please shed more understanding. I thought the year row is for when student register, and nothing more. Then the fmark should be left blank. Guess i was wrong.

Yeah, they're the same but when you're querying your database you use "UPDATE table_name..." Of-course, i'm sure you know that already.

Do you grab?

if the marks field has to be updated, i assume the lecture will have to do this. lecturers are only able to generate course profiles which means this will have to be updated somewhere in list.php or pages linked to this? - not the edit student page

Well, the extra info from the tutorial letter says "fmark(not used). So i guess it's just meant to appear in the database. I don't think there should be a reference to it in PHP; except Mac says otherwise.

I also saw that and did not implement it in mine.
