| During my spare (limited) time, I have put together my first PHP / MySQL script.
Family Gift List is a small program that can be used to keep track of friends and family gift lists. I was unable to find a program on the net that did what I wanted, so decided to put together my own.
I had no previous knowledge of PHP, so this program is largely based around tutorials from the net. So please don't expect anything special ! This is a simple program, probably very badly put together, it does what I wanted it to, but don't expect too much from it !
Feel free to download the script. There is also a link to a demo below.

 Ideas for new version of Giftlist
Posted by cyclone - On Tuesday, January 02, 2007 |
 It's been a long time since doing any work on these scripts, but I may have a play around writing a new version of GifList.
The original has caused problems for some people who don't have the PEAR DB functions installed, so the new one will not require these.
Many parts of the original were not finished properly, and several ideas I had never got tried.
If anybody has been using the Giflist script and has any suggestions for a new version, please let me know ! (or ideas from people yet to install it)
If you do have suggestions, please take the time to register on this forum and post (guest posting had to be dissabled due to spam)
Link to forum thread here:
http://www.nil.clan-hosts.net/cycsoftware/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=40
And many thanks to all the people who have mailed me thanking me for the script, i'm glad it's been of use to many people

Important Info for GIFTLIST script
Posted by cyclone - On Saturday, January 14, 2006 |
There is the possibility you may encounter problems with the 'Giftlist' script, where the user profiles and wanted lists do not show up. This is caused by the script using something called 'register globals' (this was not used on the Football script, so there should be no problems there). Many hosts are now dissabling the use of register globals, which will cause the above problem. This is due to the possibility of someone finding an easier way to 'hack' a site using register globals.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to change the script. The only other option is to turn 'register globals' on via the .htaccess file on your web host.
NOTE: doing this could leave your site open to attacks, this is done at your own risk !
Here are the details of how to turn Register Globals on:
If any client really needs register_globals to be "On" this can be done by adding the following line to a .htaccess file in the public_html directory: (open file with wordpad)
php_value register_globals 1
Add the above line to the .htaccess file, save and upload overwriting the original (remember to keep a backup copy of the file!)

Football website manager
Posted by cyclone - On Tuesday, February 22, 2005 |
NOTE:
This script was started so I could just try out some ideas. It ended up getting close to a finished project, which wasn't the plan but over the last 3 months I have had no time to do any more work to it.
You may use it as it is, but there are incomplete parts, although it should be complete enough to use.
Use is at your own risk, there is little security built in and most of the script is probably poorly written !!
Feel free to try the demo link at bottom of this post.
Football Website Manager is a PHP script that allows you to create a website for a football (soccer) team in order to keep track of team info and league matches. It is menu driven so no HTML or programing knowledge is required.
It allows you to add teams in your division, add players to your squad, assign roles to each member (player, manager etc) add fixtures, then add results for your matches as well as other teams to keep the league table up to date.
You can also post news stories to the main page, assign rights to other players to post news or give them full access.
If you would like to try out the features, feel free to visit the demo site, create a new member and give your self admin rights. Have a play around and see what you think.

You can download the script from the 'Downloads' section.

Family GiftList
Posted by cyclone - On Wednesday, December 08, 2004 |
Family giftlist V1.0
Features
- Users can create an account to add / modify / delete gifts / view other users giftlists.
- Preferences for types of gifts such as Movies / Music /Books etc can be added to your profile.
This provides general gift ideas as opposed to single gift entries.
- Users may view other users giftlists and select to `buy` an item. The item is then removed from
that users `wanted` list. (The owner of that giftlist is unable to see which items are marked as `bought`)
- A `give` date is specified when selecting to `buy` a gift so the item is not removed from the
owners list until after that date. This prevents the receiver of the gift being able to see which items
have been selected as `bought`
- A password is required to access other users giftlists, to prevent certain users from viewing each
others `bought` lists (thus revealing what they will receive). The aim of this is to prevent children
from finding out what has been purchased for them. The password is optional and can be easily
dissabled if required.
Requirements:
PHP
MySQL database
Use 'Downloads' link on left menu to download script.
Feel free to try the demo site to test out the features:
