Web Application Development I
Fall 2006
In Web Application Development I, taught by Chris Amelung, Ph.D., we learned to develop Web applications with PHP and MySQL.
Final Project
My final project was a wishlist, an interactive PHP Web application with MySQL as the back-end database.
Visitors could enter their wishlist or view others' wishlists.
The PHP Web application was called Feci Family Christmas 2006 which included forms to:
- log in using a userid and password,
- enter data which is then stored in a database,
- and send an email.
Addition features of the application included:
- the ability to view collected data in two different sort patterns,
- a counter to track the number of visits
- and a display of browser information.
Bonus features included:
- a Christmas countdown,
- a cookie to let you know when you last visited,
- and a photo of a frozen horse!
The application included the following features:
- Used a form to give user id and password access to a portion of the site.
- Used a form to have an e-mail feature.
- Collected information about visitor browsers and time of visits.
- Implemented a counter for number of visitors to main page.
- Showed current date and a countdown clock.
Artifacts
Artifacts include my Final Project proposal (PDF) and an example of code used for adding a record to the database.
