PHP/MySQL Experiments
The Blarg
The Blarg is an experiment in interactive design converging on a Blogging application that is live-to-web. It was written from scratch by wOnko because he wanted a blarging tool and didn't want to use anyone elses (picky bastard), and because it was a nicely contained exercise that might lend itself to instruction.
Original rantings on what the Blarg should look and work like should be read first.
A Blarg is a little like a Blog (weB LOG) but Blarg entries are typified by excessive amounts of blah blah blah and considerable amounts of aaaaarrrggghhh!
Goto the completed Blarg.
The Experiments below were sequential and converged on more and more sophisticated solutions.
Follow the bouncing mouse.....

- Inject form data into the table
- Retrieve all table data (blarg entries)
- Retrieve just the latese blarg entry
- Make a login screen to authenticate users
- Process the username and password to verify they are correct
- Pass an ID as part of the URL
