Week 7 Lab:

  The username and password entered by a user is grabbed from a form with the method 'POST'. Then usernames, passwords, and admin accesses are grabbed from the database. The passwords grabbed will then be encrypted with salt and hash to protect the security of the user. The passwords stored within the database contain salt and hash to prevent stolen passwords.

  If the password from the form is correct and after the admin status is confirmed the user will be directed to a userhome or admin page. If the username and password are not found within the database then an error will display for the user. The user may also be directed to the login page once they have registered a new account. The user will recieve a message on the login page once directed from the register page signaling that they must reenter their new account info to log in.

Week 7 Individual Project Update:

I haven't really started working on my individual project yet. I want to do a new database and so I've been trying to come up with a new idea.

Week 7 Group Project Update:

During the group meeting for class I helped come up with the idea for the project as well as helped with names for tables. I came up with ways to possibly shorten the scope of the topic by suggesting platforms specifically as opposed to games in general.

Week 9 Update for Projects:

On my individual project I have made my ERD for my project. I plan on reviewing my ERD before creating tables in SQL for my database.


I have not made any progress on the group project since the last meet up. I plan on asking my group mates what they'd like me to add/edit in our project this week.

Week 10 Individual Project Update:

I haven't been able to work on my project much this week other than started adding in my data to my database. I still have a lot to do and plan on working on it a lot this week.

Week 10 Group Project Update:

I have two of my display pages finished. I think my group has come to an agreement that we aren't sure if we are supposed to make a page per table for the insert and update pages. I'm going to ask about that during lab work today.

Week 12 Individual Project Update:

I have finished putting data in my database. I have added my header, footer, cfd, index pages. I plan on adding my login, logout, and register pages this week as well as starting my display pages.

Week 12 Group Project Update:

I've edited my display pages to fit the structure of my classmate's.

Week 13 Individual Project Update:

I've added my login, logout, and register pages this week. Planning on starting and finishing my display pages this week as well as start working on inserts.

Week 13 Group Project Update:

This week I finished my assigned insert pages and fixed my display pages.

Week 14 Individual Project Update:

I finished my display pages this week but was not able to begin my inserts. I will be working on those this week.

Week 14 Group Project Update:

I finished one of my update pages and began adding data into our database. I will finish the second update page by Tuesday April 25th.

Week 15 Individual Project Update:

I have finished my inserts, I had to do my updates, finish my documentation, and finish my css. Almost there!

Week 15 Group Project Update:

I worked on the index page by organizing the columns for our inserts, display, and update pages. I also messed with the styling within our header.php file to make the columns on the homepage even as well as within grids. I then added more data to our database by adding more games, developers, publishers, genres, maturities, and then connected each of them.
