| For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk. Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active! I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |

Index Card System for Game Characters in PHP
A couple of days ago, I received a request for a PHP demonstration in which the web site owner could enter a character's name in a game, and something about the character, and have that information stored as a web page for later reference under the character's name. It's easy enough to write a basic program - in fact I have written one and put the source here. Security is quite another matter, as it's also very easy to write such an application that will leave you open to injection attacks and all sorts of nasties (which is why my example checks our Well House Consultants staff cookie, so that we can update the page but you can't, Mr Joe Public). There are also the questions like "how do I edit the data, then" and "How do I attach an image", "How do I delete a card", "How do I sort and search" .... none of which I was asked ;-) ... They're all perfectly do-able, and in fact we cover such things on our PHP Programming course and our PHP Techniques Workshop which I'm looking forward to running again in the new year. Further links - Data Entry page (locked down, I'm afraid!) and Card Index. Note - if you keep data about real people (or perhaps even the characters that they play in a game) on a system like this, and especially if it's public facing, you need to be aware of legal issues such as the UK's Data Protection Act.
