I’m working on my next PHP project at the moment. This one actually has a practical use. It’s a student or child carer tracking script. It allows any coordinator to add positive and negative comments about a particular child. It uses a MySQL database to store all the information and onlu uses 2 tables, 1 for user management and 1 more the actual inputted data. I’m trying to make this script as user friendly as possible and completely fool proof. I’m using strong form validation to acheive this. It allows the user to output the data in many different ways, they can select a single or all children’s comments to be displayed, they can display only positive or only negative posts, or both, and can sort the data by any column. You can also add photos to go along with the comments. I’ve finished the bulk portion of the script and I should have a demo of it up on this site soon. The real question is what to call it. I’m Thinking Kidtrack or Kidlog, I’m leaning towards the latter. Some extra features I’m planning on adding to it are accident reporting, multiple child management with groups for schools and certificate and notice printing. But I’m just getting ahead of myself now. This app would be great for primary schools, kindergardens and child care facilities.
