How to check an online status?

Post by Pedrogator »

Hi folks,

I'm quite a newbie in Php coding, I'm looking for guidelines to achieve the following from scratch:
-A user should be able to enter his surname or a number to check his application status online
-The program will return either in process or completed.

I appreciate your help. Thanks a million :D

From the titbits of information you supplied you will need : A database, a connection to the database, a registration script for users to get onto the database (or some way to add the users to the database), a script to display results and to retrieve them, a script to identify users. These few innitial ideas should get you thinking and started off towards a complete project.
