I'm looking for suggestions about tools for making a small web app. It's for an all-volunteer association that has a website on a Linux virtual server (with Apache httpd, PHP and MySQL). Our webmaster is starting a makeover. He wants a new page that will let association members update their own entries in the membership roster.**
This may be an opportunity for me to learn how it's done these days. -- What's the right toolset? -- Is something like Zend, Yii or CakePHP appropriate, or just lower-level PHP? (A link to a recent tutorial that builds something similar would be ideal.) -- Care to guess a number of hours to learn enough of it to complete this? (I've written low-level C and C++ code, some Xerces and MySQL, a little QT and Python, but no PHP or any web technology more complex than static html.) Any comments on these? http://www.magentoecommerce.com http://ca.php.net/mysqli http://sheriframadan.com/2010/10/creating-a-member-system-using-object-oriented-programming/ http://edrupler.com/content/php-101-part-1-down-rabbit-hole - Paul Hays ----------- ** Requirements so far (more always appear!): -- administrators get passwords and full access (except reading passwords) -- administrator can add, update, or delete any member's data -- each association member makes a password permitting limited access -- a member can update the member's own data (other than id) -- any member can export and download the roster as a csv file -- reasonable security (e.g. input validations, one-way encrypted passwords) There are only a couple of hundred association members; locking can be very gross. These may be overkill... http://www.oxwall.org/ http://civicrm.org/features/members _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
