4. 1. Web Hosting / application download Project Modules Web hosting / application download Local Search Engine Networking Aspect XAMPP server software must be downloaded on PC first. Application files must be added to apache server directory (C:/xampp/searcheng) to load local search engine application.

5. 2.Local Search Engine Scripts Created: Proj_tables.sql Searcheng.htmlproj_searchresult.php Spider.html Spider.php Style.css Reset.php**Critical for testing Ipaddress.php**Discussed further with networking Project Modules Web hosting / application download Local Search Engine Networking Aspect

8. 2.Local Search Engine Spider.php 1. $url=$_GET[‘url’]; Project Modules 2. Download www.mohawkcollege.ca using fopen, add the url to table ‘page’ associated with page_id ‘6’.

10. Have I lost you yet? • So far we can: • Install the server environment and application files • Locally add pages into our own database, and search words

11. 3.Networking Aspect How do I get Pc’s on the same network to update each others database? Project Modules 1. Create a script to add a neighbours ip address to your local database 2. Create a script (proj_returnupdatestoclient.php)that takes all information from a users database and displays it on a page. 3. Create a script(proj_getupdatesfromserver.php) using an HTTP GET that looks for ipaddresses in local database, downloads proj_returnupdatestoclient.php, parses it contents and stores updates and new additions to local database.

12. 3.Networking Aspect • Stipulations: • Must know ip address of neighbor on network and add it statically on ipaddress.php • Updates are done whenever the user wants instead of automatically. • If a users ip is dynamically allocated its new ip address must be added each time they want to communicate.

13. Future Considerations • Use AJAX to make html pages dynamic to create cleaner application. • Ensure Outside IP addresses can use the application as well, not just within a private network. • Create multiple display algorithms to give users an option of how search content is displayed. • Better search functionality: More than just one word. • Maintain permanent connection to network no matter what ip address is by using sessions. • Automate install process completely.
