(Trimester 1, 2017)
Assignment 2
Title: Website Project
Weight: 40%
Due Date: 9:00am Monday, 29 May 2017
Introduction
This is an individual assignment and you are required to develop a web application to
process XML and database data. The application will use PHP, Database, XML and
JavaScript techniques.
The home/login page of your application may look like this:
Preparation
1. Create a XML file staff.xml that contains data of staff members. The elements should
be:
- staff_id; attribute email
- surname
- givenname
- address
Populate staff.xml with some sample data.
2. Create a userlogin table in Deakin Oracle SSID database with the appropriate fields
and populate the table with some sample data. This database table contains data
used to validate users before they are able to log into the website. Once a user is
logged in, he/she should have different views depending on the user’s privilege. For
Captcha2
example, a "normal" user may only lookup data in staff.xml; an "administrator" should
be able to insert staff data into staff.xml and add new users into the userlogin table in
the database.
Tasks
1. Login page (4 marks)
Create a Login page which accepts a username and password. Create two
username/password for testing:
- admin/SIT780 (grant the user administrator privilege)
- guest/SIT780 (grant the user normal privilege)
Captcha needs to be used in the login page as shown above to ensure that a humanbeing is attempting to login.
2. Welcome page (4 marks)
After successful validation, a welcome page should be displayed. The welcome page
should display a welcome message and also clearly state the privilege assigned to
the user (normal or administrator). Create a menu to navigate to the options in task
#3, #4, #5, #6, #7 and #8 below. Logout link/function should be provided as well.
3. Display staff member data from staff.xml (4 marks)
Parse staff.xml and display data in a HTML table for “normal” and “administrator”
users.
4. Search staff data (5 marks)
Provide an interface to search staff.xml by givenname or surname. Appropriate
results should be displayed in a HTML table for “normal” and “administrator” users.
5. Add new staff data (5 marks)
Only an administrator should have access to this option. Provide an interface to
accept values for staff_id, email, surname, givenname and address. The data should
be appended to staff.xml.
6. Add a new user to the database table userlogin (5 marks)
Only an administrator should have access to this option. Provide an interface to
accept values for the fields of table userlogin. After a new user is inserted, its record
should be stored in the database table userlogin.
7. Delete a user from the database table userlogin (5 marks)
Only an administrator should have access to this option. Provide an interface to
display all users in the userlogin table and allow the administrator to select a user to
delete. After a user is deleted, all remaining users in the table should be displayed,
and the administrator can delete another user is he wants to.3
8. Display all users from the database table userlogin (4 marks)
Only an administrator should have access to this option. Provide an interface to
extract data from the database table userlogin, and display the data in a proper
HTML table.
9. Visualization of address information in Google Maps (4 marks)
Enhance the task #3 and #4 so that each staff record has a hyperlink to visualize the
address information in Google Maps. Refer to the example:
http://www.deakin.edu.au/~jingyu/geocoding-simple.html which is a modification of
sample code from Google Maps.
Note: A demo website for your reference can be found from:
http://www.deakin.edu.au/~jingyu/sit780/ass2/index.php
The username/password for testing is: admin/SIT780 (administrator) and
guest/SIT780 (normal)
Hint: Use PHP session on the server side to ensure the operations on the website are for
the granted privilege.
Submission
You need to submit:
1. The URL of the 'home page' of your system on Deakin server. For example, if your
Deakin username is nathan and you have saved your assignment in the folder
/public_html on H: drive with the home page file index.html, you would submit the
URL like this: http://www.deakin.edu.au/~nathan/index.html.
2. Submit all your source files as a zipped (.zip or .rar) file including a readme.txt file
that shows your website URL as well as other information you think necessary.
If you wish to apply for an extension, application should be submitted to the unit chair
before the due date. Documentary evidence of the disadvantage causing this request,
and an ongoing assignment representing the work you have completed are expected to
be submitted. A judgment will be made by the unit chair as to whether an extension
shall be granted.
