Lab 5

Objectives:

Registration and login form

Integrate Web applications with database.

Apply integrity constraints to a database schema.

Create basic registration and login form using PHP and HTML.
Validate forms using JavaScript.

First: Database

Implement the following basic schema using DDL statements

department (dept_id , name , description)

user (user_id, email, username, password, registration_date, department_id)

Notes:

course (course_id , course_name , course_ description ,instructor_name, credit_hours,

department_id )

1. Necessary primary and foreign key constraints must be added for all tables.

2. Department and course tables must be filled with data (using DML statements).

Second: Registration and Login Page (in the same page)

Registration Just like Lab3 but validate if username already exists (Php validation) ,Storing

password encrypted is required and After successful registration, you should redirect the user to another
page called chooseDepartment.php.

Login after successful login (valid user_name and password), you have two options:

1. If the user has already chosen his department. So you have to redirect him to courses.php.
2. If the user hasnt chosen his department yet, you have to redirect him to
chooseDepartment.php.

Third: Choose Department Page

It should have

1. Welcome {UserName}.

2. Displaying list of departments to let the student selects his department. After selecting

department, you should redirect him to courses.php page.

Fourth: Courses Page

It should have

1. Welcome {UserName}.

2. Displaying table of courses for a students department which was selected in

chooseDepartment.php.

Hints:

1. You should use session to store logged user_id and user_name across pages.

2. DML (Data Manipulation Language) Statements are the insert statements as you made in lab 4.
3. You can check if username already exists using SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_name=
$username" and check that num of records = 0.

4. You can update department_id value in user table using UPDATE user set department_id =
$departmentId WHERE user_id= $userId.

Bonus

Using CSS to format the forms.

Policies

Lab submission and discussion will be during the lab session of each section, please take the
time to prepare for this assignment before you attend, so you can make the best use of the lab's
limited time to ask your questions. You should deliver DDL script for database creation and
DML script containing data of departments and courses.
You should work individually.

If 2 or more copies are discovered, all copies will lose all the marks of year work. Hence, it is
better to deliver nothing than delivering a copy.
Late submission is allowed for one week with 80% of the total mark. No late submission is
allowed after that.
