I Just installed the new version of Chantale Beaudet Collection Web Site. The old site was written in HTML5.

The new site is:

• Bilingual
• «Responsive»
• Built with the latest versions of  PHP, MySQL andJoomla!
• The first step towards an eCommerce application

All the photos of the jewellery were taken by me.

Here is the link : Chantale Beaudet Collection web site

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.
