I’m looking for suggestions for applications involving PHP and MySQL. You will be applying what you have worked on in previous tutorials.
The series will help you apply what you know and work on basic web applications, such as a forum or shopping cart. Things will be laid out so that you can work on them in order, and then a full solution will be presented.
The requirements are pretty much similar to the requirements for the tutorials. You can find those here.
I’m looking for suggestions on what applications to use. Here’s a few ideas that I have:
- Login/registration
- Shopping cart
- Forum (a simple one)
- Shoutbox
What would you like to learn how to make?
Thanks in advance! :)
I would like to learn how to make top security login with all confirmations, sessions and other things :) Also i would like to see how to make some good classes such as shopping cart and so on :) Looking forward to it :)
Richard, thanks for the suggestions! I could definitely focus on security. I may offer a few different approaches to a shopping cart (a procedural approach and then an object-oriented approach.) And then maybe a comparison? :)
Again, thanks for your suggestions!
What do you say about a class that reads a long XML-file with thousands of entries and then include all new entries into your database every time you call it through cronjob?
I think that Object Oriented is better choice :) but yeah, would be great to see some comparison :)
A rating scale. Example: People could rate your blog entries.

Good idea, I could tie that in if I do a tutorial on working with XML. I’m thinking of doing a tutorial with XML, and tutorial with JSON, and then a few applications using each.
@Richard
Yeah, OOP will probably be much easier here. It’s always good to see multiple approaches, though. :)
@SudoMathu
Do you mean that you would like me to add that feature to this blog or create a tutorial for creating a plugin to add that feature. I’m pretty sure that this plugins exists for WordPress.’
Thanks for your comments everyone!
Both. It would be nice to add it to this blog, and be nice to learn how to learn it.
Sounds great Austin. Looking forward to see the result.
