Use your holiday to advantage, bring along your ideas for a website and take home all the building blocks you'll need to construct and manage your own dynamic site.

Overview:

An increasing number of companies are seeing the Internet as a major source of business. Internet trading requires that an e-commerce web site be set up to enable customers to chose products and to purchase goods via credit card transactions. PHP is a server side web content generation language which can be used in conjunction with a MySQL database to implement a fully functional e-commerce web site. This workshop provides in depth training in the configuration and programming of PHP. The laboratory exercises will use PHP to build the components necessary for a fully functional e-commerce web site, hosted on an Apache web server with PHP support.

This advanced one week workshop is for those who would like to expand their understanding of back-end web technologies. A working knowledge of UNIX/Linux is required, including file handling commands and the use of a text editor. Some experience of website scripting and a working knowledge of basic SQL would be advantageous.

You will learn how to:

* Set up under Apache, a website on Linux with PHP and SSL support.
* Create a fully functional e-commerce web site complete with shopping cart.
* Create secure order forms and order tracking.
* Write dynamic server side web content using PHP.
* Use the PHP database commands to store data into and retrieve data from a MySql database.
* Implement a protected web site login mechanism using PHP.
