Could I do this?

[.Zi]

Could I make a homework personal system where I could post homework and c/w assignments and I could write when it's due and what the homework requires me to do. If the homework assignments one day before it's due date, could I make it like priority - Make it red or put it to the top of the list via PHP? If so, any tuts I can follow?

Learn PHP and sure.

I don't get what you mean though, is it just to keep track of your homework or others'?

Always follow the phrase "anything its possible". It's not a case of can you do it, its a case of do you know how?

You'd need (probably) these:
1. Insert statement to insert into PHP the required information (due date, task, etc).
2. Select statement to view the tasks you've already set.
3. Cron job (probably) to compare today's date with the dates in the database (this'll run once a day). You can then run #2 (select statement) and order by date descending to see which one needs to be due first... feel free to run some highlighting or whatever.

I don't understand why you'd need a cron job for this.
The way I'd do it would be to select the tasks, ordered by date, compare the dates as they're being echoed, if it's a match, highlight it.

It's very basic PHP, so if you learn a bit of PHP, you won't need any tuts to do this

Sorry. I didn't make it clear. keep track of my homework.

I'd do it using a database,

with the structure

id - date set - date due - subject - title - details - done

Then make a form where you can insert all of that

make a display page which queries

a) whether the homework is done yet (if done=0)
b) when its due

you can then display due homeworks in date order and use if statements to format them

You also need a way to update the homeworks, just like a simple form where you can submit completed homeworks or something

Ahh, good point. I was wayyy over-complicating things. This method sounds perfect ^^

Tbh, this sounds really useful. I'll create one if you want?
