[Ch-1] Discussion about a business and requirements and then the site and host requirements and some with some recommendations. I am with using expression web to code this website so any file that contains php code will be stored as .php and not .html.

[Ch-2] Security was discussed. Areas of the site must be very secure while others are less important. Hackers methods and types of attacks are covered. Basically, no site is totally secure. Store sensitive data as secure as possible and only when you have to. Financial transactions are best handled by 3rd party agencies like paypal.

[Ch-3] Site construction begins with the database. Basic site is displayed. Links are shown but will error as supporting code is not in place yet. As the site progresses, side-bar links will become valid.

[Ch-4] Adding form building procedures and a registration page with validation and error reporting. Also added are change password and forgotten password modules.

[Ch-5] Adding administration modules. Add pages & add PDF's modules. A javascript WYSIWYG editor was installed also. Much is discussed as to potential risks and precautions to take when allowing users to upload files. (same index.php as chap.-4)

[Ch-6] A paypal sandbox is set up. At this point I was able to set up a hand-off payment to paypal who required a log-in to account or visa card. They set up ficticious visa cards but didn't provide the 3-digit code so were unuseable. The transactions through bank worked but I was unable to follow Larry's add this remove this instructions plus paypals ipn interface is totally different than described. Totally frustrated, I will go on to chapter 7.

[Ch-7] I'm going forward despite dealing with 3-items I know nothing about. [1] setting folder permissions through my control panel and Godaddy. Increasing security with .htaccess files and enabling SSL service on the website. I am going to try to bypass the SSL step as this is a student site and SSL is an expensive toy.

[Ch-8] After multiple tweaking, I am able to get a partially working opening screen. I am populating the tables with chap-8 tasks. I am struggling with the stored procedures. I managed to install the procedures after I changed the delimiter comand from DELIMITER$$ to DELIMITER//, but I'm fuzzy on where the procedures are stored and how they are used. I made a couple of changes to accomodate added procedures that did not make sense. Frustrated to the max, I went into header.php and edited the links to at least get the css and images displayed (hooray!, partial victory). Many files renamed as expression web won't tolorate any .html files containing php.

[Ch-9] I have stopped at this point and am not sure why my images aren't showing up and it seems obvious that my .htaccess files are not working because my program crashes looking for the bogus directories. I think I still need some hand holding thru. this area so I'll take the next CCC class this fall.

[Ch-10] Thanks Larry Ullman, I'm not blaming you for my short falls.
