Hi, I'm still new to this forum. Currently I'm at final Semester in CPIT doing Grad Dip in ICT. My project is to build an e-commerce website and I have done the E-R diagram, Data Dictionary, etc for the database. I was given a space at Techlabs Server and I had created a database tables and inserted sample data. I had finished testing all type of SQL queries needed and tested directly with the MySQL Database Server. It's all fine even though I had few difficulties at first.
The "real" problem started when I used PHP to communicate with the MySQL Server. When I uploaded my finished "test" version and run it in my browser, I get a blank page - obviously it's not running as expected, and I didn't know what's wrong with my code. I use Notepad++ to configure the codes. Therefore, I had to re-code again.... and check my codes line by line comparing to the working codes just to find out what had went wrong. Then I found out that I missed the (;) in one of the codes. This problems, took me 1 1/2 days. That's a setback since I was thinking to write the PHP codes and upload it to the server bit by bit. Now maybe I have to do everything locally, and only upload the final one. But I also want to make sure that it will work with the server (as part of my QA plan). I have read few books and I was told how to write a good code, but not really how to write it efficiently... so, while I'm still googling around to find an efficient way to write a good code, can anyone can give me some advise based on your experience dealing with PHP horrors? Thank you very much for your time.
