Anyone want to learn basics of PhP/MySQL?

CommishJoe · 11-04-2003, 02:14 PM

I am currently trying to figure out if there is enough interest to run a beginners PhP/MySQL class. It would be geared toward people who have no programming experience, but knowledge of HTML will be assumed. Not sure what the charge/student would be yet. It all depends on the # of people interested. If this is a hit, I would continue to build more classes on to this foundation knowledge as requested.

Please e-mail me at admin@allin1websolutions.com if you are interested.

Joe, what kind of time committment would be required? I could be interested depending on your reply.

It'll probably be a 2 hour class, including "lab time". I'll create a database, FTP accounts, and a sub-domain for everyone so we can have some hands on examples.

I can structure it so that the first hour is straight lecture, while the last hour is "lab time" and general questions.

I could possibly be interested, but depending on the cost.

CommishJoe · 11-05-2003, 09:41 AM

If I can get at least 10 people interested, it would be $20/student.

Sounds interesting. How many classes per week/month?

This is just one class for now. If it gets enough interest, and the first one goes well, I'll create more classes to build on the first one.

I'd be interested. My 6 month contract with MIS is up soon and there is a QA position opening.

aphoward · 11-06-2003, 11:59 PM

I would be quite interested. Would lessen the # of questions I have to ask you Joe

CommishJoe · 11-07-2003, 08:38 AM

Ok, we have enough interest in this to start creating the outline for the class. As soon as we have something done, we'll release the outline and start talking about the time the class will be given. We should also have the method we are going to use worked out by then too.

Not quite sure when we'll be to this point because we have a lot on our plates currently.

jazzrack · 11-07-2003, 11:07 AM

well the wifey is interested.

I'm thrilled to have this opportunity, thanks

. But I wouldn't mind waiting till after we get that new version of BOSI

hehe.

I might be interested....but

I dont even know what PHP/My SQL is.

It sounds like I should know it. Can you give me an example of how I could use it?

I have HTML knowledge but just straight HTML. I've never done any database work outside Microsoft Access.

You're a user of BOSI and OOTP, so I'll use that as an example.

OOTP uses static HTML pages for your league. As you know, you have to upload over 3,000 individual files each time you sim to keep your site current.

BOSI uses PhP and MySQL to report the information for your league. MySQL is the database that stores your information. It gets this information from the CSV files the exporter generates. The player page is 1 file, that has code written to read the information it needs from the database and display the appropriate information. So, when you see player_page.php?pid=1, that means the program was written to look for a value passed in pid and use it to determine what information should be shown on the screen. In this case, it's a PLAYER_ID. This value is used in a SQL query that's used to get the information out of the database to display on the page. So, I am able to display player pages for the same 3,000 players with just 1 file that never has to be updated. As soon as the data in the DB changes, the page automatically changes with it.

In 10 words or less, PhP is a way to generate dynamic HTML.

I'd be interested. Maybe it could help me figure out this issue I'm stuck with after doing a phpnuke upgrade

I'd be very interested as well.
