Hi Nina , just read your write up For some form of clarification to your Confusion I’ll just answer the ones I can
For the database , don’t make two different ones , one database with two tables 2000 and 2010 will do just fine , just query then right. For the forms it is required to use POST cause it is more secure since you are POSTING form data ( which I feel is sensitive information) I hope this helps , if I am free I might check out your github link >> On 4 Jan 2020, at 00:12, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am creating a website that lists my states congressional districts based on > the US census (i.e. 2000, 2010 and ultimately to update when the 2020 survey > is completed).
