Due: 2011.Sep.19 (Mon) noon; accepted at 21:00 with only a 10% penalty.
You are working for Lizard Entertainment, makers of the popular adventure game, .World of Wowcraft (“.W.o.W.”). In .W.o.W., players choose a type of character: either warrior, mage, priest, or rogue. Over the course of the game, their characters can learn various skills, depending on type: For example, the diplomacy skill (which is learnable only by rogues and priests), or the acrobatics skill (which is learnable only by rogues and warriors), etc.. Each skill is be tied to one of six built-in character traits: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma. Finally, each skill has a minimum-level (between 20 and 100 inclusive).
Your boss decides that a key feature of the game is that people can add their own skills to the game. Your job is to build a web-page that lets people enter new skills for the game to use. People will enter the name of the skill, a detailed description, which character-types can use it, what trait it's tied to, and their own name (to get the glory). When they submit their form, they will see a response page summarizing the information they entered.

| An example of filling out skill-form.php | The result of submitting skill-form.php |
For this homework, build two PHP pages, skill-form.php and skill-submit.php. The PHP documents must be present in your RU account with permissions set so I can access the form at https://php.radford.edu/~userid/itec325/hw02/skill-form.php.
Your pages don't need to look identical to the above images, but should look well-organized, typo-free, etc.. When I grade, it will be from the mindset of a small-company owner who has hired you to create my web-site. … A grumpy, perfectionist small-company owner.
You do not (yet) need to validate any data (including the minimum level being between 20 and 100);
we'll add that over the next few assignments.
However, do make sure that any special characters
like < or & are handled correctly
(that is, the displayed description shows those characters, without any markup),
and that newlines are preserved.
(Remember the text functions
Also, have a file
Define a css class “important” that centers its text and puts a green border around the item; use this for the page's title (which might be in an h1 tag). Similarly, define a css class “additional-info” that has font-size: smaller and font-style: italic. Use this for both the page's signature at the bottom, and reminder information about the restriction on min-level.
1the function to show-source a file is one of the few exceptions ↩
