[Year 12 Its] PHP and Software Development 2007

[Travers, Graham J]

I've just put together an article for the next infonet on why and how to
use MySQL (and PHP). As Con has replied, you can do it all on a
standalone (I test CMS websites on my laptop). You configure your
computer to work as a server using, for example, AMP (Apache, MySQL,
PHP).

You can even use a a flash drive as your server, as explained here.

I plan to upload a detailed set of instructions/exmples/tasks to the
VITTA resources site asap. The examples will include a forum.

Something else you can do is an on-line footy comp (MySQL/PHP).
I've got one going at

You can log in:

to try it out. Feel free to change the selections.

This could be set up on a standalone.

I'd like to know what teachers who currently use PHP in Information
Systems 
plan to do for u3o2 and u4o1 in 2007 in Software Development. [After 
today's VITTA sessions this is a good time to talk about this]

The u3o2 requirement "to produce a software module suitable for 
implementation on a portable computing device"  seems not appropriate
for 
PHP.  But if you choose to use PHP for u4o1, how would you link the 
preceding task?
The intention of the study design would seem to encourage , for example,
a 
client/server relationship. But my first two thoughts for the client
side - 
ActionScript and Javascript - are not on the approved list.

Any thoughts from PHP enthusiasts?
