Connecting to a server and php

• This assignment is to determine if you can connect to a server and work with PHP
  • It will entail:
  • Creating a site through Dreamweaver and connecting to the remote server
  • Work with PHP code and a processing page
  • Finding your files remotely
• Watch the following video that outlines connecting a site and uploading PHP files:
  *For security purposes the connection info is modified...download the updated information from the link below. Also, I added the last section with a new version of Dreamwever and changed to a folder called testing-site. Sorry if that is confusing.
  
  
• Download actual ftp information *Because I don't want to share this information with the world,
  the ftp info is different than the video .
  
  
  • 1. Using your personal ftp connection demonstated above create an info.php page using the phpinfo code:
    <?php
    // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
    phpinfo();?>
    • You can access it online by going to http://mgdstudent.tech/yourlastname/info.php
  • 2. Create a dynamic animal page like the page in the video. It doesn't have to be animals, but it has to have the same logic like the following:
    • What kind of animal person are you example?
    • On the original page add ?variablename=result
      • ex: animalpage.php?mypet=Cat
    • On the second page to fill in the approriate area with
      • <?php echo $_GET['mypet']; ?>
        
        
        
  • You should have three pages in your directory:
    • Info.php
    • Animal.php
    • animalanswer.php
    • (Extra credit 5pts if you can include complimentary images and styles on the animal answer page)

10 pts - *You can also zip the files and upload to D2L in the server and php folder if you want feedback. Due Feb 7
