Hi,
Does 'looks' of site matter in this assignment,
I have no experience with CSS etc. (do intend on learning)
Will it matter if it's all 'black and white' ?
Or is Aesthetics taken into consideration when marking this Assignment?
Sorry for asking noob questions
Thanks.

Hi.
The tutorial letter says we need 4 main pages , does this mean that we can't use more that 4 pages,
eg. a separate page to handle forms(action="" from student_reg.php ?. or
a separate page for database connection that can be included or rquired?
etc.
I know its pretty late to be asking these kind of questions, but i need some clarification as I'm almost

HI,
I found a pretty good MySQL tutorial for absolute beginers,
WikiHow MySQL
It's on Wiki How, Its shows you how to Create Databases in MySQL Terminal (Command Line), This is actualy easier than the GUI.
Before this Tutorial, I had no @#!*ing clue how to use SQL.
PLEASE check it out if you lost and considering giving up!!

Hi Sipho,what I meant by 'killing my pc' was that my current pc is quite old,old hardware. so running Linux VIRTUALLY through something like VirtualBox will slow done my pc as I still having windows installed on my hard disk. Any OS will slow down my pc as it is run in virtual box in windows.( Maybe a light distro like Puppy won't)
I do enjoy Linux, And have been part of the Open

@Sipho
Very True, I myself have dabbled in Linux(though never committed to it) ... had Ubuntu running on my old Laptop(but battery no longer charges,haven't yet replaced it).
Linux is pretty neat, But I have been using Windows since I was 5 yrs old, and my current PC is 7 yrs old(lol), so running Linux virtually ,will kill my PC .
But I do wish to Rekindle my interest in Linux after this

Hi Tessa,
Have you tried MyLife Unisa Portal
Use your Unisa login details( if you don't have log in details, look for 'Claim Unisa Login'
MyLife email won't work on mobiles,tablets etc. Only on PC.
Hope this was helpful,
If you already knew that ,
sorry for wasting your time.

Having to use CLI for installing/removing etc.....Windows folk prefer The trusted windows GUI.

I think the any PHP book will do, most of them present the same concepts. So you are good to go..!
Maybe, But all books are not the same, they are presented,explained using different methods,some (like the prescribed book)
have Project websites that you build with php while learning concepts that help you understand how to practically implement
the code and others just hav

Hi Prof Mac,
Sorry for only replying now,
I've been using multiple sources for learning php,I got distracted/confused by them,
Had a problem understanding what was going on in general.
But eventually realized how simple it was when explained by the homeandlearn tutorial.
Other tutorials don't break it down as well as homeandlearn, they dumb it down for vegetables like me
Thank

Hi Gouwem, The topic subject, eg "Section 4 - Working with HTML forms"
Is reference to the courseware/ study material ( CD received from Unisa)
Until you receive it, Go to Homeandlearn.co.uk
As this is exactly the course we are all using.( It comes on the UNISA CD)

This is a fantastic editor,I will use it once I complete this course.
I'm afraid if I use it now, I will become lazy using the automatic form,checkbox etc..
