1. Finish steps for Homework Five

We create a table (hwFive) inside a database (awards) to emulate

-bash-3.2$ cd apache/
-bash-3.2$ cd phpsessions/
-bash-3.2$ ls
sess_7022e00dfe24a2bb63e5926399ed3d49
-bash-3.2$ ls -l
total 8
-rw------- 1 dgerman faculty 166 Feb 24 15:01 sess_7022e00dfe24a2bb63e5926399ed3d49
-bash-3.2$ cat sess_7022e00dfe24a2bb63e5926399ed3d49 
message|s:49:"No, that was not it. Score currently: 0 out of 
3.";correct|i:0;total|i:3;questions|s:36:"Australia,Russia,Brazil,South 
Africa";key|s:13:"United States";-bash-3.2$ 

One record is equivalent to one session file. 

What's the equivalent of: the table, the database? 

Then we wrote a program: 

a) connect to the database
b) retrieve state, read user input
(we provide collection of subroutines: get_state, get_sessionID, etc.)
c) then we develop like in Homework Two, Four as if there's not database

[see notes for that]

2. Prototype for Midterm Exam 

Take-home, negotiable: 

-- choose implementation method:
      keep state client-side or server-side
      decide to use one of: PHP, Perl, Python 

-- choose another problem: argue it's relevant, same difficulty level

Post solution on Mon Mar 9th -- so work this out by then. 

3. Show an example of a semester project that includes MySQL.
