Custom CMS and PHP Forms for Processing Tickets

This client needed a PHP programmer to build a custom PHP application for him to collect ticket information through a web form. Functionality to have back end password protected tools to be able to process the form data was also coded.

The application needed to have multiple levels of user access to accommodate different roles in the admin tools. Functionality was coded to update ticket’s status and email notify admins and ticket holders of the change of status. Other functions included the ability to print form submissions in a clean format and add notes to the ticket that only the administrators could see.

Simple PHP Content Management System

This project request was for converting a .psd to xHTML and then an easy way to update the home page content. I converted the psd to code and then built a simple content management system for the user to be able to edit the page content from a password protected tool in the browser. Data was stored in a MySQL database. Each block of content was separated for easy management. The ability to embed videos from youtube was also incorporated.

Affiliate Link Manager – URL Redirect Tool

This week I coded a custom affiliate redirect link manger tool.

• The client wanted an easy to remember, vanity url to be able to use instead of the longer affiliate url  link.
• A custom 404 page was created to check a database table to see if the url contained the affiliate vanity url. If it did, code  then checked if it was active and the expire data had not passed. If the expire date passed, it would send them to a default page. If the affiliate link had not yet expired, it would track the click in the database and then send the user to the affiliate page.
• A back end password protected online tool to was created to create, edit and delete affiliate links. You can activate or inactivate a url at any time, along with setting an date for the link to automatically expire.

Customize Zen Cart Banners

The client wanted multiple 125×125 banners to display in a sidebox on their Zen Cart online store. I modified the banner sidebox to display up to 4 banners at a time in one sidebox.

Web Design Portfolio Manager

A web designer colleague asked for me to create a web application for him to be able to easily manage his web design portfolio. He had been creating static pages for each web design and logo design project and it was getting difficult to manage.

Programming with PHP and MySQL, I created a password protected back end for him to be able to upload multiple images for the web design project, along with input multiple fields of information. The ability to categorize each project by type of either web design project or logo design was also incorporated. By doing this, code on the front end could easily separate out the types of project by category and display as differetn pages. An excerpt of each project displays, with a link clicking through to a full detail page about the project.
