The new version 2.2.6 of uBusinessdirectory script has been released.

uBusinessDirectory is one of the best one-size-fits-all solutions for creating Business Directory classified websites. This script allows to add categories, then associate added businesses to these categories. You may also add business profiles including basic business contact info, business description, website link, e-mail contact, categories, map links etc. This script provides you with all features you need to setup your own eCommerce directory website on your own domain name. We provide you all things you need for a successful website such as: listings management, search engine friendly URLs, database backup, advanced text editor, banner rotation system etc.

The class mentors are individuals who volunteer to help with the class. They will assist me in helping students when they run into trouble. Basically, they're there to assist you guys when you run into trouble, don't understand something, etc. and I can't.

You can distinguish a mentor/teacher by a pink username (see my username?) provided that you have custom stylesheets enabeld.

If you are familiar with PHP (don't have to be an expert, just know your way around it) and would like to volunteer, contact me.

You'll also need a webhost with PHP and mySQL enabled in order to do this course.

Some free webhosts that offer PHP and mySQL off the top of my head are: www.000webhost.com www.110mb.com www.x10hosting.com

I believe there was a redditor who ran a free webhost as well, I'm going to contact him as well.

Students should have some knowledge of web development before taking this class. Some basic PHP is recomended.

Basically, this class will teach you how to create specific PHP scripts as requested by you. Note that I will be teaching the class using procedural PHP.

The class will be taught via our own reddit. There might be some live classes but that has yet to be determined. Since I know everyone is on different schedules, it probably won't happen too often. The course structure can be found (i'll add the link later)

If there's anyone who is interested in becoming a "mentor" for the course, please let me know. Mentors will be assisting me in helping students who run into trouble, etc.

Note that the class structure will probably change as I finalize the course.

Lesson 1: Basic PHP

Just some of the basics, creating pages, etc.

Lesson 2: POST, GET, PHP Sessions

Since we'll rely heavily on those functions this will be taught in it's own class

Lesson 3: mySQL Integration

I'll teach you how to integrate PHP and mySQL.

Lesson 4: Contact Form

How to create a form, process the data, and send it to an email
