| Assignments due in one week unless otherwise stated. I may add some things during the week, so double check the schedule each week! Please keep copies of all work you submit until you receive your final grade at the end of the semester. | |
| Week #15/final Week of December 9th/166th |
I would like the final on Monday, December 16th. Let me know if you run into problems. Final Exam Required Status Sheet Evaluations have been put under the actual course you are taking (they are on elearning), so you can now do the evaluations. |
| Week #14 Week of December 2nd |
This week we will deal with sessions, cookies and some data manipulation. I will look at data manipulation on Tuesday since the lock down is happening and we will look at
cookies and sessions on Thursday. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/30 (functions) Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 5/2 (sessions and cookies) Assignments: Decoding challenge: I want you to decode a word and return the decoded result. You need to use explode for this assignment. Take in the code dtgcm and find the location of each in the alphabet (I want you to explode the alphabet into an array). When you find the letter, back up by 2 and retrieve that letter to decipher the code. That means the result will be break because backing up 2 letters from d gets b and backing up two letters from t gets r etc. Now you should include the code that when you start with a backing up 2 gets y and when you start with b, backing up 2 gets z. Cookie assignment: Write a series of programs to place a cookie, check a cookie, delete a cookie. Session assignment: Write a series of programs where you take in pay per hour and hours worked and receive it in another program and calculate and show pay. Use sessions to hold and access the data. |
| Week #13 Week of November 25th |
Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/25 (email cont) Remember, you can only mail to BCC mail addresses. Assignments: Make a simple database table with a name and email in it (make two records have my two example emails and one have yours). Then write a php email script to send an email to everyone on the database table. Make the email have a lot of text from html that you send and include a variety of things. I would like you to take in information as I did in an HTML and validate it, then pass it for processing and send the email and then have it use header(location...) to say something. Like the example I went over in class. |
| Week #12 Week of November 18th |
This week we will do a little more with functions and look at images as well. Then we will move on to email. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/16 (functions, images) Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/18 (email) It is course evaluation time and the evaluation is now available at the elearning site for CIS283. Remember that Pat Condon recommends a package she has in Student Services for writing resumes. Assignments: Quiz on databases and images I want you to send me emails use php - send one that is very basic and one using HTML that tries things like images, color, lists, tables etc. Please remember not to use my address until you are ready to turn in. I will check Priscilla.Grocer@bristolcc.edu mainly so that would be the best one to use. |
| Week #11 Week of November 11th |
This week we will continue with arrays and start to look at functions: Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/9 (functions) Assignments: Write the program to guess a number between 1 and 25. This should be written on one php page meaning the input for the guess and the processing are on the same page. Be sure you are using function(s) in this assignment. Note: I want you to tell the user whether it is high, low or correct and let them keep guessing until it is correct. |
| Week #10 Week of November 4th |
This week we will continue with arrays. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/1 (arrays more) Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/1 (associative arrays) Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 4/4 (more arrays with comments) Assignments: Problem 1: I want you to set up arrays to take a course number and get the associated course name and the professor teaching the course. I want you to use associative arrays where the first key would be a specific course number and that would get a course name. In the basic version of this, you would then go to a second array and use the course name to extract the professor. As you can see from the output below, I used CIS120, CIS121, CIS122, CIS155, CIS159. For extra credit, do this again using a two dimensional array. My not so pretty solution Problem 2: Modify the program above to use a foreach to show all of the content of the array/arrays. Problem 3: Math Array The statements Multiply by 0, Multiply by 1 are stored in a one dimension array and displayed. You need to extract the message from the array and display it before you show each group. You are going to display the math facts and the answers. The answers need to be stored in a two dimensional array. Set up a two level table to print out the math facts and get the answer from the two dimensional array. The two multipliers are the indexes that allow you to extract the answer. I used a nested while loop to do this and another time I used a nested for loop. QUIZ: Array Quiz |
| Week #9 Week of October 28th |
I am going to suggest for privacy reasons that you change your password file to have a php extension rather than an inc extension if you
made any with the .inc extension. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 3/26 Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 3/28 (arrays) Next we are going to start looking at arrays - we will continue next week. Assignments: Your assignment is to create a table using php script. The table should have 5 fields with an least one numeric field. You then need to populate the table with at least 5 records. Next, I want you to write code to update your database table. I want you to let the user choose whether they want to add, change or delete (this means presenting all choices and acting on their decision). I then you want to take in the needed data and make the add, change or delete happen. When you are doing a change you must figure out a way to decide if you are adding data to the field, deleting data from the field or changing the data from the field. I want you to start with a menu and make the choice and then bring up the approriate form to fill out, send the information to be updated. You should be able to update all but the key field. I want yours to be far better than my individual update programs. The completeness of the processing will impact the grade. |
| Week #8 Week of October 21st |
We will continue with PHP getting data from MySQL. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 3/12 Assignments: SQL in PHP Assignment |
| Week #7 Week of October 14th |
The goal is to wrap up MySQL this week and start integrating with PHP. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 3/7 Assignments: SQL play computer assignment On this assignment I want you to figure out the results, I do not want you to submit to SQL - it truly is a play computer assignment. Intro MySQL in PHP |
| Week #6 Week of October 7th |
We will continue looking at MySQL this week. We will look at the design of a relational database and we will look at examples left over from last week. Note that I was overly ambitious. We are still looking at notes from week #5. Assignments: Payroll database Explanation to use below Relational Database Assignment |
| Week #5 Week of September 30th |
We will continue looking at MySQL this week. Check chapter 9 in the text and a couple of the many online resources as well as my examples. Notes: Keys, indexes etc. Subqueries Multiple tables Functions Assignments: MySQL assignment: Second SQL assignment Again, for those who took Oracle, please notice the similarities and differences. Check back and see how far we got! |
| Week #4 Week ofSeptember 23rd |
Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 2/12 This week we are also going to start looking at MySQL. I want to get the fundamentals of both PHP and MySQL out of the way! Your book covers this I think in chapter #9, so... First we are going to look at MySQL through putty and then we will incorporate it into PHP. You will be accessing MySQL on the cisweb server. Information about MySQL is available at their web site. MySQL site Information about using it at BCC is on this handout. Using MySQL on the cisweb server Note: You will need your cisweb username and password. If you have not gotten it yet, contact me. You should also get a copy of PuTTY to use with MySQL if you plan to work from home. PuTTY is available in the labs. Two sites that can be used to download PuTTY are: PuTTY PuTTY Here is an example sheet for use when you are creating databases and tables in putty: Using putty to create a database and table Putty Notes Here is another example sheet for use when you are maintaining and doing queries similiar to the ones I have assigned. Using SQL with MySQL You should be looking up tutorials on SQL. Two that I think are good are: SQL Tutorial (based on MySQL) A Gentle Introduction to SQL This is especially helpful for someone who has had Oracle because it shows comparisons between the two versions. You are allowed to have two databases (each can have multiple tables), under your cisweb. You can see the names of the databases if you login to mysql through putty and give the command show databases; Beginning MySQL notes Data types More SQL If you do not have a password to get into MySql. Please check with me or with Eric Oldford at the help desk. Assignments: Loop and if assignment Sorry - where I said endif I meant an end for the while. SQL assignment Note that in the sample, I took an example I had used in Oracle. You need to check out how to do the date in MySQL. |
| Week #3 Week of September 16th |
You should read chapter #3 in the PHP/MySQL Programming text book. Please read along in the text
book at the rate of about a chapter a week. I really think of the textbook largely as a reference. Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 2/5 Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 2/7 Please look at "Go West Across America with Lewis and Clark" which is where I got the idea for the Boston Tea Party game. Lewis and Clark adventure This week we are going to look at decisions and developing a multipage site. Depending on time, we may start loops. Assignments: I would like you to write an educational game for kids about some event or series of facts. It should be something along the lines of what I did for the Boston Tea Party. It should have a minimum of 3 pages. |
| Week #2 Week of September 9th |
This week we will start PHP. Please look at the beginning PHP examples that I have listed below. There are additional examples
from previous classes and PowerPoints available at the web site. You should read chapter #1 and start reading chapter #2 in the
text book. Note that you are doing PHP and MySQL on the server so you do not have to attempt to set it up. First PHP list with code Accompany examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 1/29 Examples you can load onto your area on the server to test 1/31 Assignments: For all assignments, send me the address that I can run in the browser to test your program and also send a copy of the code. Quiz Homework: Memo assignment Make up 5 names and use the 7 days of the week. and notice in my example I have you select a first name but I put out the whole name. You can make up the names. Also note that the select is Wed but in the memo I use Wednesday. |
| Week #1 Week of September 2nd |
Read chapter #1 in PHP/MySQL Programming. We will start off the semester
with HTML/XHTML. If you have already had CIS122/44 or have previous experience, this will
be a review. If you have taken CIS120/17, you have already been introduced to HTML. For others
I suggest that you read chapter #1 carefully and use resources at
the page for CIS122/44 or other resources on the web to accquaint yourself with HTML. A great reference for writing HTML is W3Schools The students in this class have a variety of backgrounds, so for some HTML is review and for others it is relatively new. Handout on using WinSCP3 Note instead of the host as cisweb.bristol.mass.edu we are now using cisweb.bristolcc.edu. Note that WinSCP3 is available as open source software and you can download it for home use. When logging in at school, you should not enter your password and you should not save. If you do not enter the password you are prompted for it in a session, but it is not saved. This provides you with some security for your site. You should be getting a username/password for the BCC site at the end of this week. We will be working exclusively off the BCC site. You do not need to install PHP or MySQL, they are on the server. We will experiment with logging in to the server and look at some of the examples at the site located in Beginning PHP examples zipped under Site Resources/Code Examples. You can check HTML examples under my CIS120 and CIS122 sites. This example covers some of the fundamentals: html5example.html Assignments: If you are new to HTML, I want you to build a web page and upload it to the server (that cannot be done until you get your username and password). The page should include at least list, tables, CSS and forms. If you are experienced with HTML, I want you to develop a page that challenges you and uses elements that you stretch your knowledge - this is the time to explore more CSS or forms - experiment! |
