Added MySQL and more PHP to My Adventures - Next/Previous links
Tue Dec 11 04:08:07 EST 2001
I just added MySQL and some more PHP to my Adventures section.
The end result is the titles and "previous" / "next" links you see on
this page. This is the first time I've made use of MySQL on my website.
This is something I've wanted to do since, oh, around the time I started
my adventures section. It has been a productive night.
What's left is mostly proofreading. If you see anything broken -
links pointing nowhere, mismatching titles / dates, etc., I would really
appreciate you
telling me
about it.
In addition to wanting to implement the new features you see, I
still wanted to be able to edit the body of the entries as text files
(with vim), instead of having to edit them through a web interface.
The result is one MySQL table containing dates and titles, and a bunch
of files with names that correspond to the dates. Any time you see any
of that data, it was pulled from those sources. I think it has worked
out pretty well. I'm still modifying the MySQL table by editing a text
file and re-importing it. I'll probably write myself a web interface
for that. I don't know how useful this might eventually be to others,
but it's still pretty rough right now.
Eventually I want to add something like a guestbook, but for feedback,
at the bottom of each page.
