The main part of this assignment was learning what the different code did. Understanding the different methods of bringing data from a table and presenting it properly on thew website was the main thing that I learnt.
My first attempt at a thematic php website was the following website.
http://www.dynamic.artdesignhull.ac.uk/abrodie/exp/tropicalfish01/retrievetropicalfish01.php
This was a template of a table that contained the content
My next attempt was to use the previous method but lay the content out slightly differently.

You can see that I have removed the content from the table and gave it an improved structure using css.
My final attempt at the php Gallery feature was this one.
http://www.dynamic.artdesignhull.ac.uk/abrodie/exp/disney/disney.php
I was able to set up a database by myself and include the content entirely myself meaning I have at this point a much better understanding how the php works.
The next stage was to code and understand how a search function works, this was an easier concept for me to grasp.

You can see here a very basic example of a search function that I built.
