03-27-03




Plan

• Goal: Get order page to work for the Stores
  • Get the stores to order items and Distribution Center to be able to view this order

Design Phase

• Design: MySql, html, and php

Coding

• All Coding can be found HERE
• Coding for this specific site im workin on is DC Shipping Page

Testing and Deployment Phase

• Store Ordering page
• DC Receive Order page
• Problems:
  • It took a long time for me to figure out this part of the project because it didnt know what variables to use (arrays, etc). In the end i just went straight to mySql.
• Solution:
  • Therefore i created five different tables, one for each store, that holds the items the store has ordered. So now stores can order items, delete items from their order, and the Distribution Center can check these orders.
  • Another thing i fixed was i linked the pages together so that they can share data, ie the passwords for the stores, so you can no longer get to certain pages unless you had entered a password from the main login page. :)
  • The other thing I finished at this time was the page where the Distribution Center can view the orders made by the stores. this was rather simple and all i had to do was make a menu where the DC selected which stores order to view and then it just accessed the corresponding mysql table.

Next Goal

• The next part of my project will to adapt a similar page to let the Distribution Center send orders to the stores.
