Dynamic Web Calendar

Purposes  Personal Organization  Scheduling  Increased productivity  Small buisnesses  Flexibility

Technology  XHTML, Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language  PHP, Hypertext Preprocessor  MySQL Server Databases Tables

Implementation  HTML pages: Login.html Newuser.html  Login.html Simple log in form Checks for valid accounts Link to Newuser.html

Implementation  Newuser.html Form Gathers information to POST to Newuser.php Register new user ○ Username ○ Password

Implementation  PHP pages: Newuser.php Homepage.php Add.php Calendar.php Delete.php

Implementation  Newuser.php Creates a query to add a new user to the system ○ Username ○ Password Also creates a database table named after the username ○ Contains date_id, month, day, year and description fields for the table

Implementation  Homepage.php POST information sent from login.html to verify a valid user using a rowCheck Displays 3 options for the user to interact with the calendar ○ Add an Event ○ Delete an Event ○ View Calendar ○ Also prints a table with all events registered for that user

Implementation Various print statements set a form method for each option and post to their corresponding pages ○ Add.php ○ Delete.php ○ Calendar.php

Implementation  Add.php POST to user’s database table to insert a date into relevant fields Confirmation of successful POST  Delete.php POST to user’s database removing data from selected date Confirmation of removal

Implementation  Calendar.php Longest file of the application Contains all algorithms for successfully setting up a calendar with days in correct spots Contains php function getdate() to pull data from 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
