Technology

XHTML, Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language

PHP, Hypertext Preprocessor

MySQL Server DatabasesTables

Implementation

HTML pages:Login.htmlNewuser.html

Login.htmlSimple log in formChecks for valid accountsLink to Newuser.html

Implementation

Newuser.htmlFormGathers information to POST to

Newuser.phpRegister new user

○ Username○ Password

Implementation

PHP pages:Newuser.phpHomepage.phpAdd.phpCalendar.phpDelete.php

Implementation

Newuser.phpCreates a query to add a new user to the

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

Implementation

Conclusion

Very difficult coding for calendar Good base application available for

more development Employs most skills learned over the

semester Fun application
