| 655802 | 2008-04-09 10:23:00 | At tech a few years ago we spent a semester learning Cold Fusion and ASP. One of the first exercises was to create a login page. Not having used it for a bit I've forgotten lots of it but I do seem to remember MS Access coming in very useful. When you're trying to get your head around "SELECT this from that and ORDER by the other" then it is quite handy to create the relevant tables in Access, create a Query in datasheet view then view the SQL - and copy and paste to your page. Good luck. It's really fun when you get your head around it. |

| 655803 | 2008-04-09 23:47:00 | To simplify things for you: You store your data in a database such as MySQL . You send data to and from the database using a server side scripting language such as PHP This data is then displayed on your website using HTML (to structure) and CSS (to style) . Is this an assessment that requires you to do everything yourself? You should be able to work out how to do a login system relatively easily, but creating a shopping cart is going to be a lot more complicated . Two websites I'd recommend are HTML Dog ( . htmldog . com) and Site Point (http://www . sitepoint . com" target="_blank">www . htmldog . com) and Site Point (http:) (I also own several of their books which are very good) . However, in my personal opinion, you would be better to focus on learning HTML and CSS to begin with, find a shopping cart system at Hot Scripts ( . hotscripts . com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/index . html" target="_blank">www . hotscripts . com) that meets your needs and customize that (usually this is a matter of editing template files) . If you want a small amount of webspace on a proper server instead of your friends home computer that supports PHP and MySQL, I would be happy to help you out . Just sent me a PM . |

Just sent me a PM. hi there, this is the admin of resistorhelper. just a few things to clear up 1. it is technicly a home computer true but its solely as a web server and maybe emergency PC access (and now for surfing these forums) 2. its a windows based server (win 2000 pro) using the WAMP server suite so it has got support for PHP and MySQL 3. granted the home broadband plan i have is crap (barely get 1Mbps) however it is fine for small pages etc. 4. i dont have many people using space so i can offer at least a few gig per user (1 gig default up to 6 if i am so inclined) |

Regarding your setup: Is the server fully patched? Are you aware that non-server versions of Windows have a very low limit for simultaneous incoming connections? Do you know how to properly secure a PHP/Apache setup on Windows? What A/V solution, if any, is installed? Using it to surf the web isn't the brightest idea... |

| 655806 | 2008-04-19 04:09:00 | its only a low traffic server so isnt the hottest thing on the web and it doesnt get that much access but i do know that as far as i know no-one can do anything nasty to it and the FTP is secure enough. however to be perfectly honest i dont have a clue about php or mysql and hence i have basic HTML pages. its only a small server but its still useful if you wanna test web code etc but im sure there will be someone else to beat me. if you wish to, try and hack it, im hoping you will find it quite hard | williamF (115) | ||
| 655807 | 2008-04-19 04:14:00 | ...and the FTP is secure enough. If you're talking secure FTP, you're talking SFTP, right? |
