Step 2: Extracting the New Scripts - PHP

Okay, we've got our user table, let's make screens for the user to log in and log out. Download the mymarket3.tar.gz file and extract it into your web root directory. Note that this replaces the files from the first tutorial.

We do the same drill from the first and second tutorial. Download the mymarket3.tar.gz file and extract it into your web root directory. For example, if your web root is in

/home/httpd/html

type

$ cd /home/httpd/html
$ tar -zxf /tmp/mymarket3.tar.gz

Assuming that you've downloaded mymarket3.tar.gz into /tmp. Now, open up the file application.php and change the $CFG->wwwroot and $CFG->dirroot paths to match your server configuration.

You should already be familiar with the contents of the mymarket directory, looking carefully, you will see a new directory called shopping.

drwxrws---   2 apache   web          1024 Jun  1 02:05 images/

drwxrws---   2 apache   web          1024 Jun  1 09:18 lib/

drwxrws---   2 apache   web          1024 Jun  1 09:18 shopping

drwxrws---   3 apache   web          1024 Jun  1 11:20 templates/

drwxrws---   3 apache   web          1024 Jun  1 11:20 users/

-rw-rw----   1 apache   web          2074 Jun  1 14:58 application.php

-rw-rw----   1 apache   web          1488 Jun  1 12:21 index.php

-rw-rw----   1 apache   web          2427 Jun  1 14:51 login.php

-rw-rw----   1 apache   web          1040 Jun  1 11:19 logout.php

The shopping directory contains all the scripts that have to do with displaying the product catalog, viewing product details, the shopping cart, and purchasing. That is where most of the new scripts reside. We will now go over the script changes.
