i feel like i have really learnt a lot, and progressed well this week.
i have created all the tables for the database, however the way i made them doesnt seem to implement them on the server where the php works, so ill need to re create them again. however its not all lost time as i learnt a lot about creating and using MYSQL, so thats good.
i have started working on a login script for the site, using some tutorials i have found. there is still a bit of work to be done here but once completed it will be a good feature of the site. it will not only let the user login and load their settings, it will remember the user, track their login using a session and things like that.
while i feel the progress being made is good, i still think there is a lot to be done and the pace will need to be picked up yet again
