php application idea

[john12kuk]

Hi i was looking for ideas for a php application just to get my feet wet. ive covered all the basics and am now looking for a bigger project. I was thinking about making an online diary where users can add and edit entries, or an online bookmark page so you can access and add to ur bookmarks from anywhere in the world, but neither of these ideas seem that unique. Does any body have any good project ideas? as i said i covered all the basics in php and have used mysql with it too.

thanks john

The bookmarks page was actully a good one. But just that by itself would make a very boring site. You could combine the bookmarks with the diary and make a "personal" page.

If your out of ideas or want more experience why not look into OOP (Object Orientated Programming) and look into making some reusable code, eventually making a code library for yourself.

Common Ones for this are

File/Directories
Databases
Arrays/Stacks
XML

Theres a few of course there is Pear which is basically one big library of classes however only use if need be, or even to get an idea on how others do such things.
