dreampho Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi All. I am new to PHP, but am learning. I have set myself a mini project to learn some new php and to have some fun! I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to tell me how difficult this would be to achieve, and how they would best suggest to approach it. I want to create a 'availability checker'. I want to create a field where I can input a date. If the date exists in my mysql database then it returns NO, if the date isn't in the database it returns YES. For a admin area I want to have a place to add dates, and maybe some details about these dates. I don't think its overly complicated, but it should still be quite a challenge for me. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258063-difficulty-and-where-best-to-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
litebearer Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 how difficult this would be to achieve That is really dependent upon one's ability to learn, to try and to not give up. Some people are 'gifted' and learn quickly, other are not 'gifited' (ME LOL ) and learn more slowly. suggest to approach it IMHO start with paper and pencil. Create psuedo code and a flow chart. Build your code in 'modules' that you can easily test as separate pieces. Then start to integrate them one 'module' at a time. That way when an error occurs, you can quickly isolate the 'offending' code. Just my 2 cents.
