PHP Portfolio
Many of the PHP programming projects I do, are small to medium custom PHP jobs that consist of changes and updates to existing websites. They don’t justify adding them as a full project to my PHP portfolio or on my PHP resume, but I still want to showcase them to give you an idea of the type and quantity of work I do. I try to update my PHP portfolio weekly. If you don’t see I have done something that you are in need of, feel free to contact me to discuss your PHP programming needs.
Added New Fields to Zen Cart Checkout
The client needed to collect additional information during the Zen Cart checkout process. I modified the database to add a flag to products to identify if additional information was needed during checkout. If any products in the shopping cart needed this information collected, the form fields would display on the shipping page. From there, values were checked if required. If all values were entered, code was modified to send these new details to the admin email when the check out process was complete.
PHP Photo Upload and Resize Image Script
The client requested I modify their existing PHP photo upload script. The code was having problems accepting larger file uploads. I modified php.ini to allow file uploads to 8MB. Other modifications included resizing files to display a smaller size in the browser. A couple of other minor bugs were addressed such as fixing a pop up message stating “This Page Contains Both Secure and Non-Secure Items”
Upgraded Shopping Cart from viaKILX to Virtual Merchant
This client needed an online shopping cart upgrad from viaKILX to Virtual Merchant payment processor. I modified the code to process credit cards with Virtual Merchant.
Custom PHP Job Manager Tool
The client hired me as a freelance PHP programmer to build a custom PHP tool so he could manage job listings on his website.
I build a simple PHP application with the following functionality:
- Back end password protected area to manage jobs from the web browser.
- Functionality to create, edit and delete jobs.
- Functionality to activate and inactivate job listings from displaying on the site temporarily
- Functionality to assign jobs to multiple categories
- Functionality to assign job listings as Featured. Featured jobs display randomly on the home page each time the pages is requested.
- Front end ability to sort jobs, displayed by categories.
Zen Cart SEO
To improve SEO on my clients Zen Cart website, I installed a rel=”nofollow” addon for EZ Pages. From the admin tool, you can now check whether each link should be followed or not.
