But as straight server side scripting language it is stupidly quick. And the fact that ASP(.NET) severely relies on 3rd party components being installed to do anything "fancy" - and it isn't always possible to get hosts to install things for you (unless it's your own box).

Though i dont understand where you're coming from when saying "ties in with C or VB" - you could right your own components for anything backend language but it wastes time (and companies money) doing so when PHP/Perl could do exactly the same but without the hassle.

Back to topic, Planty -

When you query the task number, save it in a string and create a hyperlink based on that ie:

strTaskNumber = (query string);
- - - -
<a href="editpage.php?a=<?=strTaskNumber?>"><?=strTaskNumber?></a>


Then on the editpage.php just grab it using GET/Post and get the details for it using a query based on that - been a long time since ive done any php work but im sure you get the idea.

Use a query string

Thanks for the input Dom :)

ATM I'm using this to develop my skills in this area and agree with you about the hyperlink rather than drop-down boxes, Just need to find how to pass the task number from the list to the detail page.

I will also look into formatting the date a little better, and the interface will be having some changes in the future

Looks pretty good and a alright ide (even though im sure there are sites out there that already do this) but the interface is a bit cack -

Should go straight to the Task list for quick browsing, with an "add task/todo" button near the top. Also whats the "Task Number"? Im guessing its the DB's autokey number rather than a specific task number to the user - which would be more useful.
Date could being formatted for UK users (maybe have an option?). Also i would get rid of that drop down and replace the edit of the task by link on the task number/title.

An idea to include would be the option to send email reminders of the taks based on time/date and WAP/Mobile Phone access with auto login (fairly easy to do) - from what i remember there is an specific phone ID that gets sent with the phones headers that could be used against the users username/password etc.

James - .NET....sod that :lol: php is a lot more powerful and isnt tied to any microsoft cack! Cheaper too ;)

I hate putting large amounts of text into a phone - i find it really tedious.

I wanted to do one completely custom to suit what i need (plus ive got nothing better to do atm)


James

posted on 27th Jul 06 at 15:13

But surely there are about a million and one pieces of free software that can do that?

Even most phones have it .....

The jist of it is that its an online to do list so can be accessed from anywhere (with net access) that allows to add, remove or update any tasks you need to do.

To do List

My fiance asked if i could build something in the form of an electronic to-do-list, so here it is...

any comments welcome :)

EDIT: I know the design is a little basic/pants but i thought id keep the layout simple and clean for now and concentrate on the script
