Search Feature

Today I have been working on the search feature I want to have on my site. This will allow the users to search for products by entering key words into the search box that will be on all the pages on my site.

Below there are some screenshots of how it works:

Upload Image Form

Today I have been working on an image upload form so if users are logged into the site, they can upload an image when adding a new product to the website. So far I have managed to get it so the user can click 'browse' to select an image from their computer, click 'open', click 'upload' and then their image is saved into my 'uploaded images' folder and they are told that the upload was successful. Next I need to figure out how to get the image information from that folder and into the products table in my database so the image is also displayed when the data about a product is pulled out of the data and is displayed on the web page. Below is the code I have used so far and screenshots of how it is working at the moment.

Updated Designs

(to complete: explain why they are different colour, different words used, different questions asked etc.)

Emailed Boutiques

Today I emailed the gift boutiques on Princes Avenue and Newland Avenue to explain again what my project is about and I asked them which would be the easiest way for me to get some images of products for the site. Just waiting for them to reply now.
