Dr. VentonKepuska Donald L. Troup ECE 3553 Mulitfarious Systems
Purposes • Personal Organization • Scheduling • Increased productivity • Small buisnesses • Flexibility
Technology • XHTML, Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language • PHP, Hypertext Preprocessor • MySQL Server • Databases • Tables
Implementation • HTML pages: • Login.html • Newuser.html • Login.html • Simple log in form • Checks for valid accounts • Link to Newuser.html
Implementation • Newuser.html • Form • Gathers information to POST to Newuser.php • Register new user • Username • Password
Implementation • PHP pages: • Newuser.php • Homepage.php • Add.php • Calendar.php • Delete.php
Implementation • Newuser.php • Creates a query to add a new user to the system • Username • Password • Also creates a database table named after the username • Contains date_id, month, day, year and description fields for the table
Implementation • Homepage.php • POST information sent from login.html to verify a valid user using a rowCheck • Displays 3 options for the user to interact with the calendar • Add an Event • Delete an Event • View Calendar • Also prints a table with all events registered for that user
Implementation • Various print statements set a form method for each option and post to their corresponding pages • Add.php • Delete.php • Calendar.php
Implementation • Add.php • POST to user’s database table to insert a date into relevant fields • Confirmation of successful POST • Delete.php • POST to user’s database removing data from selected date • Confirmation of removal
Implementation • Calendar.php • Longest file of the application • Contains all algorithms for successfully setting up a calendar with days in correct spots • Contains php function getdate() to pull data from browser to help facilitate construction of the calendar • Uses Gaussian algorithm to determine the day of week for any particular date • Also uses a POST to get event dates from user’s table and apply style to calendar highlighting which days contain an event
Conclusion • Very difficult coding for calendar • Good base application available for more development • Employs most skills learned over the semester • Fun application
