File Relationship Diagram

Now that I have explored PHP more and attempted to create the pages that I need for my client project, I have decided to go back to last year's group project 'Lambley Riding Club' and use the PHP files we created for that (which was my original option). Last week I could not use these files because I did not understand how they worked, what they did or their relationship to each other. But now, I have managed to create several working MYSQL databases which respond to several PHP files, I am confident that I can produce what I need for my project. I have however not managed to learn how to insert text with image into a database and then get it displayed together on the server...it is this reason that I turned back to my original plan of using PHP code from a past project.

I started to look at the files from the 'Lambley Riding Club' project again and I am happy that I understand (at least enough to be getting on with) how it all pulls together. I am confident that I can now use these files for my current client project.

To help me get my head around the PHP file relationship, I drew (by lamplight) a small relationship diagram so that I could visualise how they work together:

...and so, at 22:56 on Wednesday 23rd Feb 2011, I start to put together my PHP (lack of) knowledge!

Wish me luck!
