This Is Neat

How long has the programming projects section been here? I have never noticed it.

I have an idea for a project that would involve these elements: python, mysql, an addressbook, and calender. I know next to nothing about mysql, but would like to learn. I need to make a client that can access a mysql database. I would like to store my buisness contacts and possible a calender on a DB.

I am willing to cheat. If someone knows of an crossplatform(linux and windows) app that can do this already, please direct me.

I think this section is fairly new, i made the suggestion for it but was told the idea was bad but here it is 0-o.

Anyways maybe this will help.

In all honesty I need to start to learning some php. I would like to get some knowlege of web design. I am not sure how, but amaking a web interface with php might not be that hard(just guessing). As of now, it is just a thought.

Thanks for the links :-)

in particular, this one looks pretty cool

shanenin, PHP is really easy to learn, and soooo much fun.

Within my frsit 24 hours I was making some pretty advanced stuff in PHP

As far as I can tell I can only test my php scripts by running a webserver on my computer. Is their another way to test the scripts?

[Martint]

if you want, i'll let you have an ftp account with my host

uhh, free of course.

hell, you can even host your website on it

just PM me if your interested

Thanks. I appreciate the offer, but I guess I can test scripts ok on my local apache setup. I was curious if their was a way to run php scripts in a regular shell, like you can with python.

[Martint]

lol alright.

As for your ?, igot no idea.

There is a standalone PHP interpreter. Or at least there was a few years ago when I looked at it.

Quanta Plus in Linux is a good web editor. It is a step up from using a simple text editor. You should be able to get that.
