Week 6

Readings:
Since we will not be covering databases (and I encourage you to explore PHP database access on your own), we will learn how to save information to files. A good tutorial on this can be found here. Then read chapter 6 and appendices a, b, and c from Essential PHP Security.

Key Concepts:
-Creating files
-Reading and appending to a file
-Useful functions
-Encryption

Exercises:
Create a page that allows users to submit data about themselves and save the information to a file. Make it so that in the future they can log in with their name and password and have the page display their other information that they submitted. Encrypt the password in the file. Remember to explore anything else you find that is interesting!
