2. What is Eventor? A simple, yet effective, website for event planning and searching.  Influence from Facebook Events. includes social networking features like profiles, commenting, rating, and attendance. Uses Google Maps Javascript API to show all events on a map and information regarding them.

Simple navigation  Javascript Animation effects Functionality  Google Maps  Prompts  Flash Animated movie Server side  PHP Queries  MySQL server  SQL commands Store variables  Session  GET  POST Create XML for Google Maps  Used 'echo'

4. Log in / Registration $login="SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'"; $result=mysql_query($login); // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "home.php if($count==1) { session_start(); $_SESSION['name']= $myusername; header("location:home.php"); } else { session_start(); $_SESSION['login']='fail'; header("location:index.php"); }

5. Security Eventor uses various functions that protect from code injection.  stripslashes();  mysql_real_escape_string();  strip_tags(); They are used to block hackers from commenting out php code in your website and running their own.

6. Google Maps API Javascript API used to display event locations. Geocoder used to convert address to latitude and longitude values for marking on the map. Different colored markers used to signify different event types. Info window displayed after clicking marker. Created using XHTML.

7. XML & PHP PHP used to echo XML for tag. Event locations from the database outputted into the XML. Gxml.parse(data) used to read XML. while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($resultLoc)) { // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE echo '<marker '; echo 'name="'. parseToXML($row['eventName']). '" '; echo 'address="'. parseToXML($row['location']). '" '; echo 'type="'. $row['eventType']. '" '; echo '/>'; }

8. Facebook Comments Application Used instead of self-made comments system.  Saves time and resources  Increases popularity of website Unique xid attribute for unique pages. "url="http://my.fit.edu/~brobl2008/..." >

9. Event Rating System User gives a rating(1-5) for specific event Queries:  Get current rating sum  Update rating sum and increment number of raters. $newRatingSum = $currentRatingSum + $eventRate;  Get number of raters. $newRating = $newRatingSum / $currentRaters;  Update rating.

10. Attendance User selects how they are inserted into the attendance list.  Attending  Maybe attending  Not attending Queries  Get attendance from events table.  Update attendance with previous attendance added to new attendance.

11. The Future of Eventor RSVP limit  if exceeded, event address is hidden IP address look up for user default location Pictures / File uploading Friends Personal Messages Blacklists/Whitelists

12. Conclusion Eventor simply works. Fully utilized Google Map Expand features More error checking is needed.
