I was approached by a long-time client last month to help her put together a dynamic class catalog application that she could manage in-house that listed the reflexology and massage classes that she offers. In addition to the class catalog management process she also wanted to develop a system that would enable her potential students to register online for classes and store their information in an online database that she could use to market to or follow up with in the future.
I built the project in PHPR entirely, it is written in PHP and utilizes a MySQL Database on the backend. The way the application works is that the students will hit her website and browse her class listings that are sorted on her website by date. Once they select a class that they are interested in enrolling in, they simply complete an online form with their credentials and payment information. Once this form is completed they are then transported to a confirmation page on her website. The data is stored in a MySQL database and by using table events inside of PHPR I was able to generate the “after succesful entry” and “send email” features. An email is then sent to my client telling her that a student has registered online. She then logs in and downloads the information to her desktop system.
I spent a little while testing this process since it was the first time I had actually made a data entry form available to the public but after a lot of testing I found that the whole process was secure and functioned great. If you want to check out this application that was built completely in PHPR, just send me a note and I will be glad to share the template for this project with you. In the future I plan on making some of my favorite apps available online on the Xlinesoft forums for those of you that are interested.
