Where To Go From Here
June 6, 2000
If you went through the examples and experimented a bit, you will start
having more and better ideas on how to use this newfound flexiblity in
your site design. You should be able to make more sophisticated
interfaces, allowing the use of more complex logical expressions, or
even create the entire query interface based on reading the structure
of the database, on-the-fly. No limit to what you can do, just remember
to have fun and don't get discouraged.
Paraphrasing an old saying: "Inspiration is 10% of the work, debugging
the remaining 90%" (or something like that).
You should check the examples sources available from the "Sample Code"
link in
this site.
In particular I am impressed by the work done to make the
PHP base library, which now
includes the OOHForms module (highly recommended).
You can get the (IMHO) best web server available from the
Apache Project site, and
obtain good SQL databases such as:
mSQL,
MySQL, and
PostgreSQL
from their respective sites.
And of course, keep the
PHP manual
handy at all times.
You are now on your own pal!
Good luck.
