Recommendations by the IGRA Webmaster
Items on the current system to be updated
- Configure a separate user account for the MySQL database access, rather than using the primary administrative account username/password, as is currently the case. Coordinate with the IGRA Webmaster and Secretary on exact username/password combination, and where and on what pages this information is used within the code.
- Consolidate, and adjust pages where neccessary, to move all contestant registration related PHP pages into a single directory to be specified by the IGRA Webmaster
- Recode as neccessary to move all PHP related external style sheet sources into the Apache http subdirectory /css/IGRA/php/
General requirements for new pages
- Include in the PHP code of any new pages, comment lines describing function of code blocks
- Work with IGRA Webmaster and Secretary to ensure they know which files need regular backups, including MySQL database files, and any other related systems
New pages and additions to current system
