Please check out the calendar item (http://php.meetup.com...) and RSVP if you would.

The link to today's .php script is at: https://docs.google.c...

Here's what we talked about today, I think :-)

  • We're looking to take a row of data (or was it a a series of rows?!?) and put it in an Object [ is that the right way to explain that? ]
  • We are looking to do 'standard' CRUD (create, read, update, delete) activity on the data
  • We are looking to display the data
  • The data is a simple row of information that can include ANYTHING, but for our example, we'll be using a simple contact record (Name, Address, AuthorizationLevel, birthday, ...).



Now your part...

  • Is this what we talked about? anything to add, take away, modify?
  • Do you have a project you are working on that is similar to this? We'd rather have real-world items to work on!
  • Are you in?!



[ by the way, when you add a reply, I think you should also have a 'Track this discussion' checkbox that you can check if you want -- it will tell you when other people respond to this message ]

I agree with your review of our next project above.

As an addition, while our goal is to be better OOP php programmers maybe we could also add the goal of building the above according to an MVC (Modal-view-controler) pattern which is so prevalent in the web world? Just a thought. As Ian, I think, pointed out even our last exercise somewhat conformed to this pattern but maybe we could set this as one of the goals at the beginning.

To get a better idea of what MVC is and does I recommend the following link:

Let me know what you all think. And FTW... I am in and sitting down to do a first pass. While I'm not formally working I always love projects to keep me on my toes;)
