Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8: East-West Seasons case study
The East-West Seasons case study, which runs right through Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8, comprises five main sections:
- A home page that displays a random quotation
- A news page that draws live headlines from BBC News Online
- A simple blog, which links to a details page
- A photo gallery
- A contact form that sends email direct to your inbox
Although the case study is presented as a unified website, each element is designed to teach you how to create dynamic web pages with PHP and MySQL, and can be adapted to a wide range of uses. The blog and details page, for instance, uses exactly the same principles as an online catalogue; the techniques used in the contact form could be adapted to an order form; and the news page could use any valid XML source, either on your local site or elsewhere on the internet.
