[Yr11 Information Technology] PHP for Unit 2

[Kent Beveridge]

PHP is one of the options I am considering for next year too. However, I am potentially doing it at perhaps yr9 or 10 level depending on a variety of factors. Still waiting on the boss's response to a proposal for next year's IT stuff and will then know what's the go! Also hoping to run some dual/multi platform workstations to spice things up.
It is looking likely that here, we will have just a unit 3/4 as a merge of the 11's and 12's due to numbers, nothing confirmed as yet...
ahhh, planning, yu gotta luv it!!

Dear List,

   I would like to have a go at having next year's Year 11s learn PHP.

   I am interested to hear from others how they are going about this.

   I am thinking I will use a WAMP package (Apache/MySQL/PHP bundle) 
to streamline installation.  I do have a machine here I'm going to set 
up as a linux server but I'm apprehensive about giving out accounts on 
it, hence the standalone option.  For people using WAMP, which one are 
you using?

   Has anyone used the PHP integration in Dreamweaver?  They will be 
using Dreamweaver (MX 2004) for web pages so I thought it might make 
for a smooth transition, but I haven't yet tried it myself to see how 
it works.

   What about PHP frameworks such as Zend Framework--does anyone use 
those for Unit 2 IT or is it better to keep it simple?

  While I'm at it, seeing I will be setting my MySQL anyway--is anyone 
using MySQL (perhaps with a nice web management interface) for the 
database topics in Unit 1 or IT Apps Unit 3?   I think it may be too 
tricky for many of my kids but thought I would ask the question in any 
case.
