Do you know what PEAR is?
Neither did I, but apparently it’s the PHP Extension and Application Repository… Anyhow, I discovered this because I’ve been dipping into PHP and mySQL a little more this weekend trying to flesh out that idea about the Online Recipe Database. I think I’m going to do it, even if I end up being the only user of it.
After all, there’s no better way to learn about something than to just set yourself a target and plow ahead until you reach it. All the pages on this site are records from a database, but it’s all very basic stuff… The queries are mostly just looking up a single record by ID number. The plan for Recipe site is more like six or seven tables that all link back and forth to keep track of the users and ingredients and quantities and whatever else.
Should be a nifty thing, and I’ve already learned tons anyways. PEAR — who knew?
In other news, today was the closing of the Vacation Bible School at my church, and they ended up printing my logo on every t-shirt, so it was all over the place. I was pleased to see it, although I don’t think anyone knew it was me that did it. :)
