Projects

I occasionally write PHP web-based software to assist in certain tasks I am undertaking, whether it be a quick competition management system for my ClassicKidsTV website, or a reminder system to stop me forgetting my car’s MOT (again). Seeing as how the Free Software community has given me so much, I package up these small applications and distribute them through this site for free, for anyone who wishes to use them.

JD-Competition

This package was originally written to manage the competitions I run on ClassicKidsTV.co.uk, it includes an entry form controlled by a close date, an admin back-end which gives competition statistics, lists of correct and incorrect entries, and the ability to choose and lock a winner into the database. It’s fairly simple to set-up, the question/possible answers and all other info are stored in a config file, with the entries and winner stored in a MySQL database. Easy to customise to your requirements.

JDRemindMe

JDRemindMe is a PHP/MySQL application for entering important diary dates and setting reminders to be notified in advance of these. It utilises a MySQL database of significant dates with an associated reminder date, description and further details of the event. These are then checked using a PHP script run through Crontab on a daily basis and automated emails are sent to an email address specified in the configuration file.

MyJDCMS

MyJDCMS is a very simple content management solution, designed to utilise existing web-based WYSIWYG editors so that users who make infrequent changes to their static website can keep things up to date quickly and easily, and from any internet-connected PC. I felt that some existing CMS systems can be difficult for non-technical people to understand, and hope MyJDCMS will cure this.

X-MasDB

X-MasDB is a Christmas gift database I built while learning the basics of PHP, and can record recipient names and gift ideas into a MySQL database, protected by a password, along with a tracker to see which gifts have been purchased and an MS Excel export option. The features are quite basic, but it does include an installation script, and I hope to add more features when I have chance!

Hiring Me!

Whilst still technically learning all the aspects of PHP, I am available for any small PHP/MySQL projects, and would also be willing to code for charity, or for another worthy cause, without charge.

Please contact me for any more information or to discuss!
