Project Topic

Post by sinksanity »

I am learning PHP in my college as a extra course. I have to do a project at last to complete my course. Can you help me what topic can i choose so that it is not too vast but at the same time different than others and nice one.

what are your interests in web development? What problems have you come across as a web user that you'd like to see solved or improved?

those are the types of things you need to ask yourself as projects that you have a vested interest in, are far easier and more engaging than ones that you're doing because you 'have to'.

Fun Ideas:

- How about a survey gadget (which others could put on their sites by inserting some Javascript on their site that pulls from your PHP server) that integrates with Google API to draw the pretty pie charts?

- A simple multiple-choice test delivery system that teachers might actually want to use at your college.

- A Reddit.com knockoff, but far more simplistic.

- Rate my picture, but with security features such as file upload checks, SQL Injection blocking, XSS blocking, URL hacking (going places they shouldn't), etc. It should also have an Apache setting to block files being uploaded that are too large.

- Live chat between multiple users.

- Powerball Lottery Number generator. (Too simple?)

- Make a simplistic Blog, but with a twist. Implement different versions to demonstrate the various PHP frameworks, such as CakePHP, CodeIgniter, and Zend Framework. I mean, each of these brag that you can use them to generate a blog in very short time, so put it to the test.
