Lesson 7: Adding and Removing Content with PHP

Today we’ll enhance the Joke List example to enable visitors to your site to manipulate

the site’s content right in their browsers.

Today’s Tasks

Watch a video: Welcome to Day 71.

Download today’s code: day7code.zip (9KB)2.

Read an article: Inserting Data into the Database

In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to use the tools at your disposal to enable site

visitors to add their own jokes to the database.

3.

Read an article: Deleting Data from the Database

In this article, we’ll make one final enhancement to our joke database site. We’ll

place next to each joke on the page a button labeled Delete that, when clicked, will

remove that joke from the database and display the updated joke list.

Join a Discussion: Editing existing jokes?

Today we’ve seen how to add and remove jokes using the magic of PHP and MySQL,

but what if we wanted to enable our visitors to edit existing jokes? I’m not asking

you to write any code here, but try thinking through what your approach to this

problem would be. Where do you think you’d get stuck? Post your thoughts in the

forum and compare notes in preparation for next week, when we will tackle this

problem for realsies!

Experienced PHP coders will find this a doddle, so if that’s you, please give the

beginners a chance to answer this one, okay? No one likes a know-it-all. :)
