XHTML, PHP and MySQL

I’ve taught this material and consider 16 weeks enough for introductory level! D.I. has only 4 hours to get us to expert level.

Cheat Sheets:

Friday!

  • Installed WAMP
  • We’re working in C:\wamp\www
  • http://validator.w3.org checks your page(s)
  • XHTML items must be one of the following:
    • tag
    • attribute/value pair
    • content
  • Is it HTML we’re looking at or is it Style? Think of crossing an international border where we change language on the other side.
  • The Box Model is vital to understand styles!
  • http://www.csszengarden.com/ Really shows the power of style sheets!
  • When starting a php connection to MySQL, white screen doesn’t really tell us much — put an error in the line to see if you get error messages.
