Dont stop the PHP Train

Another update on my PHP Progress. The Index.php file is now working completely, and has been restyled to fit in with the current style guide. The database is correctly storing usernames, passwords and emails, without a hitch. It is also redirecting users on log in to the home page.

While that sounds like not a lot given that is was 'ready to go', '90% complete', 'pretty much done' a few weeks ago. In reality it took a lot more blood, sweat, and tears over the Midsemester break to figure out what was going on. Why the redirect was not working correctly, why the sessions were not connecting. Why I was being locked out of the database.

In short the struggle was real friends. But we got there in the end.

The good news now is after this weeks team meeting and the news that there will be a digital prototyping session next week. The PHP train is going to keep on rolling. The plan is to get the database completely set up so that each registered user has their own website code which they can work on which is they are able to save.

If the progress so far is anything to go by this is going to be a big effort. But once its done the back of the project will be broken and it will be on to bigger and better things.
