This weeks lecture we learned how to use a database in relation to PHP. The database system we are going to use is mySQL. During the lecture explanations were given in regard to different actions that can be performed in a database via PHP. Below are the points explained,

• Create an SQL statement
• Execute query
• Store results
• Display information
• Authentication of variables through URL's 

This information will be used during our assignment 2.

During the workshop we worked on our assignment 1.

Week 5

This week was mainly focused on how to used information on a page on a number of other pages. During the past weeks we learned how to transfer data from one page to another. This week we learned a function called sessions. The learning focused on how and where in the session start should be used and how and where it cannot be used. Also storing sessions, working with sessions and echoing a session was taught in order to use this function effectively.
This is a very important function for our assignment 1 which we worked through during this week as well.
