I need a project......Learing PHP

Post by infolock »

Heya all. Been a while since I posted here last, but I'm back now ( unfortunately, I'm sure, for some heh ). Anyways, I'm looking for a new project to tackle. I've been honing my php skills, and trying new things, but I can't seem to figure out where to go next...

I've created a login page, an Administrative page ( add/remove/edit user information, server information, etc... ), created a security checker ( checks all ports being used/closed/exploitable ), a Data-Entry Page, Email forwarding, Port Tunnelling, and TCP/IP Configuration Page, but now I'm at a standing block again. I strive to learn new technology, new ideas, and harder tasks. I want something that is going to make me work hard to figure it out, and then enjoy it once it's done.

Does anyone have an idea of what I could try and design through php now? That is, something that while designing it, I'm also learning something new at the same time? Thanks 8O

Try XML

Post by caseymanus »

XML is an important technology right , try doing something with XML. Maybe build a parser that reads a xml file to a database, or dump a database table to XML.

sweeet, thanks for the tip ;) Never really fooled around much with XML. Hell, I don't even know what it is used for. What is XML ( of course, I dont expect a detailed explaination, just a comparison between XML and another object maybe would suffice? ).

Thanks ;)

You want a challenge try building a forum or a classified page. There are alot of different things involved with each of these. Times, expirations and much much more.
