Generally, I tend to bookmark sites for reference and code help. This time I decided to bookmark more as an FYI. This blog gives readers an idea of how PHP is used on some of the web's most popular sites. Some of the statistics regarding lines of code for flickr are incredible.

This is my rendering of the fibonacci sequence. I must admit that i had done this previously using javascript (when I was an undergrad, 4+yrs ago) and I would not let myself 'cheat' by researching other web sites. After sketching out the functionality and few tries I was able to get it, but I did have some difficulty with the formatting, for whatever reason, I could not get the '\n' to work, instead, i decided to echo a
tag.

Hmmm... close enough. 0 1 1 2 3 5 etc.

This is my visualization of the dice php file. I decided to use images of dice that I created using Adobe Illustrator. This document also utilized some CSS to format the page and javascript to help create the roll again button. The php uses the switch function to display the corresponding image to the number that is generated.

very nice!

A tutorial on how to create forms and make them interact with php. Here, I take you step by step through nearly everything you need to know to get those databases primed and ready to go.

It WORKS!!! Finally!!! And I only had to spend about 8 hours on it. Hah! This is my random rolling die page, and many many MANY thanks to Jen Rock, Ellise Kuban, Dr. H and my friend Evan the Bard (moniker) for helping me out with the code. Just goes to show that sometimes it takes a village!

All you sports fans can pick your favorite sport as well as your favorite team on this website.

Have you ever hurt yourself pretty badly, but you don't know whether it's a sprain, fracture, or something else? This quiz is here to help you figure it out (tip: answering all A's, B's, or C's give you the most definitive answers).

Very fancy :).

Here is my site for the Sign challenge! A huge shoutout to Nancy for helping me debug the messy code I originally had written! In addition, I used this site for some ideas: http://www.2wap.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4866&pid=32711&mode=threaded&start=. However, this site led me wrong in multiple ways! Citing it anyways to be safe!

The CSS wouldn't copy over to the php file. I couldn't figure that part out, since I copy/pasted the exact link line from my HTML. I don't know why it didn't work.

The CSS is still there, it's just that it is only selecting elements that appear on the first page. The second page has none of those elements to select. Should change the selector to "body", since both pages have a "body" tag, and the design rules you have apply generally to the body anyway...

Form Validator test - Submit Name and Email Address

Oh my gosh, it works. After two days of trying to figure out why perfectly good code wouldn't work, Dr. Halavais told me that I had to zap gremlins in my PHP text, because the text was imported. Anyhow, I'm currently teaching my freshmen a book called A Long Way Gone, and since I need to find interactive ways to keep their interest buoyant, I thought this quiz might actually work in my own classroom. Thanks to Jen Rock and Dr. Halavais for their help in getting this accomplished.

One more php challenge - a photo gallery that uses a dropdown selection form. Both pages validate. I also placed the dropdown form on the results page for ease of use. Special thanks to Evamarie for helping me figure this one out!

Visualize the dice...I must say this challenge has given me the most grief since the class began. After about four days of trying and talking to classmates it has finally become a reality. This page has two die, that roll randomly. The Die are courtesy of Jen Rock and her excellent photoshop skills. Thanks to her and her refusal to do another challenge, this assignment has been completed.

Dice: successful. They were a LOT harder than I thought they would be... much love to Ellise for taking the time to explain the mathematical side to me.

I found this website by googling php for dummies. I was having a difficult time after reading and watching the tutorials so I immediately began looking for the basics and some explainations. This site made it easy to get the basics and a lot of alternative ways to find tutorials. I recommend it for anyone as confused as I was at the getgo.

This is my quiz, it is a five question quiz on the Televsion show Heroes. If I was at work I would totally take this quiz, considering that I am obsessed with this show. Both pages validate, the quiz page and the results page.

That errant apostrophe makes me want to explode things with my mind ;).

Here is my facebook app. It is a simple quote viewer. The quotes it displays are from my favorite comic book series, The Sandman.
