[Etest-devel] eTest PHP Beta1

[Craig P J. <cpj...@th...>]

I have released eTest beta1 as an early PHP version.  The student test taking is still not complete, and the instructor side may have some small bugs and incomplete pages in it.  I felt that we needed to at least release something out there so we werent stagnating.  

Brad, I made the changes to your pages to use the $DB_prefix in all of your mysql queries.  make sure you sync with the latest CVS version and start doing this in your code.  also, as a note for all (especially brad), ALL table names in our database are in lowercase.  the field names follow the Capitalized-First-Letter of each work routine, but the table names themself are all lowercase.  this is important on *nix systems since the filesystems are case sensitive.  we probably should change everything to use all lowercase_with_underscore or something like that, but for the time being make sure we are using lowercase table names.

also, if anyone has a place where we can host the  demo eTest site instead of the sourceforge servers, that would be great.  since the sourceforge servers use the load balancing we have been drawing a lot of include file errors and I think it really detracts from someone checking the site out online.  if anyone has another place we can host the PHP site, let me know.
