Updating my MySQL Database Applications

Since I have moved my site to a new server using PHP 7x and Mysqli all the Database applications were not working.

1. All the mysql statement needed to be replaced by mysqli and coded differently.
2. I was using the ereg function which is deprecated. I had to to change all the statement to preg_match
3. I was using Classes where the name of the function was the same as the name of the class which is a NONO in the current environment, so I had to change all that.
4. I had a lot of scope problems the classes, so I had to add global variables and using $GLOBALS[”]
5. The french accent were not displaying correctly so I changed the Character sets of all the pages to utf-8.

Here are the links to the applications.

A family of cardinals

I made a portable bird feeder that I intend to take during my photo hunts. the idea being to install it somewhere, to move away and capture the birds that come to feed. I installed it on an old tripod.

We have cardinals that sometimes come to the garden, so I bought a cardinal seeds mixture and I set up the tripod on the patio and step inside a few feet away.

The cardinals quickly discovered the manger and come to help themselves.  I can then photograph them at leisure without disturbing  them. There is a family, dad mom and chicks. Here arephotos for fun.
