( web based Faculty Management System was designed and implemented for the $ollege of
7usiness and Public (dministration* &his system allows faculty to input teaching< research< and
ser"ice information into an Oracle database*
Faculty can input and update personal information< resume< picture< positions< education<
certificates and honors< courses taught< curriculum de"elopment< published journals< boo5
chapters< boo5 monographs< case studies< certificates awarded< conference presentations<
research interest< grants recei"ed< other additional ser"ices to just to mention but few*
&his data is used to generate the indi"idual Facultys information sheet and to submit online*
&his information sheet is accessible by their department chair and the dean as part of their annual
e"aluation* &his information can also be used to generate the $olleges "arious producti"ity
reports*

P1/2ose of t3e 2/o4e0t
&he $ollege of 7usiness and Public (dministration needed to create a web@based database
system to maintain faculty information* (t the present time< they were using a paper based
system where by indi"iduals maintained their data without any uniformity for the entire
academic year* 4ard copies of reports were then e"aluated by the department chair person* &his
system created a lot of paper wor5 without any consistent single standard for each department to
follow*
$reating a web based database system will help to establish a standard which each faculty in the
department can follow* %t is easier to record each acti"ity or contribution as it happens into the
database* %n so doing< faculty will not forget what they did at the beginning of the year since it
will be already recorded in the system* (s the deadline approaches for submitting faculty
information sheets for e"aluation to the department chair< a faculty has to just login into the
system and automatically generate a report based on the information entered into the system*
8ith just a clic5 of mouse< a faculty can then submit his or her report to the department chair*
Once a report is submitted< a faculty has access to all submitted* epartment chairs ha"e access
to all submitted reports from faculty members in their department* &he ean of the $ollege of
7usiness and Public (dministration has access to all reports alphabetically listed by department
and faculty name* &hese reports are a"ailable o"er the web by indi"idual faculty< chairs and area
$oordinators< and the ean*
;

Se"eral solutions eDist on the mar5et to manage faculty producti"ity information* &wo such
systems that pro"ide web ser"ices are igital Measures and Sedona Systems* &hese companies
collect data from uni"ersities< conduct course e"aluations for the students and pro"ide reporting
solutions to uni"ersities* &he companies were doing eDactly what this college needed but we
#uic5ly realiCed that these solutions may not be suitable because of the following reasons*
Cost Pricing
%t was not going to be cost effecti"e to the college* &he annual license fee for S=ON( is based
on the number of users* &he formula for calculating the license fee as per May /001 is F/<>00 as
the base fee plus F/> per faculty if the number of users eDceeds 60* So if a college has 300
faculty members< the annual license fee would be F><000 G/<>00 H />I300J*
Data control
(nother problem of using eDisting solutions is that the college would not ha"e any control about
the data the company collects* &here is also loss of fleDibility as the college would become too
dependent on the company in the long run* %f there is web@ser"ices downtime and ser"ice
disruptions< the college would not ha"e control of that* &his creates a big threat to the college* %f
there is change in management of the company or company going out of business this may result
in losing data and the college would ha"e to loo5 for another company* &here might be switching
costs in"ol"ed to get a new "endor* (lso if the college decides at that time to bring bac5 the
project in@house< the college may lose producti"ity during the period of transition*
Privacy
&he fact that data eDists on the pro"iders ser"er raises some pri"acy issue* 8hat will happen if
the college decides to no longer use the company* &he company will ha"e too much data
collected on faculty* oes the company ha"e the right to 5eep the dataK 4ow does the college
ma5e sure the faculty pri"acy is fully protectedK %nternet companies ha"e designed numerous
ways to trac5 web users* &he more we pondered about these #uestions the more clear it became
to do the project de"elopment in@house* &he company may decide to sell the data without
consent* So it is a ris5 to use outside companies*

One can ha"e pri"acy if one ma5es it herself* %t was decided to go ahead to de"elop this project
in@house so that the college doesnt ha"e to worry about annual licensing fees< pri"acy issues
and other people 5eeping the "aluable data*

ColdFusion
$oldFusion is a scripting language for web de"elopment to interface with databases* &he
operations are coded in the $oldFusion Mar5up -anguage L$FM-M which uses 4yper &eDt
Mar5up -anguage L4&M-M li5e tags to be embedded in web pages* &he $oldFusion engine
which interfaces with a windows@based web ser"er interprets the $FM- code< accesses the
database and then deli"ers the results as an 4&M- page for the web browser* $oldFusion can
ser"e two purposesN it can wor5 as a Mar5up -anguage< a tag@based language that can be used to
create data@dri"en 8eb sitesN it can also ser"e as an (pplication Ser"er< which translates the tags
that tal5s to the database< and returns 4&M- to the 8eb browser*
%nternally< $oldFusion wor5s in a way similarly to other hyperteDt preprocessors* &he
application ser"er recogniCes $oldFusion mar5up tags< processes the code< and performs any
necessary operations* &hen it returns the result in 4&M-* &here are< of course< a number of other
technologies that do this< such as Personal 4yperteDt Preprocessor LP4PM< (cti"e Ser"er Pages
L(SPM< $ommon Getaway %nterface L$G%M< 2a"a Ser"er Pages L2SPM< and so forth*
$oldFusion is commonly used on some of the most transaction@intensi"e< sensiti"e sites on the
8eb* For eDample< 7an5 of (merica< the !nited States Senate< and the Recording %ndustry of
(merica all use $oldFusion to get their wor5 done*
Oou can do some fantastic things with standard language elements that would re#uire doCens of
lines of code or custom tags in other languages* Oou can send and retrie"e email o"er the 8eb
and eDchange data with $omponent Object Model L$OMM< $ommon Object Re#uest 7ro5er
(rchitecture L$OR7(M< and 2a"a objects* Oou can use a subset of .M- called 8eb istributed
ata e.change L8.M to serialiCe and eDpose pac5ets of data as generic .M-* Oou can also
perform file and directory manipulation< perform full File &ransfer Protocol LF&PM interactions<
and create intelligent agents* %t is easy to interact with -ightweight irectory (ccess Protocol
L-(PM ser"ers with just one $oldFusion tag* Oou can create database@dri"en graphs and charts
in Flash* &he current "ersion is $oldFusion >< and it is stated to perform four times faster than its
predecessor*
!nfortunately< $oldFusion is not free* &he application ser"er from Macromedia costs thousands
of dollars* $oldFusion is intended as a rapid application@de"elopment platform and the tags that
ma5e up the language encapsulate much of the compleDity of the code re#uired to perform
sophisticated operations* One tag in $oldFusion can do the wor5 of 30 or /0 lines of 2a"a Ser"let
code* 4owe"er< since $oldFusion is not open source it was out of #uestion to be used to de"elop
the project*
JavaScript
2a"aScript is an easy@to@use programming language that can be easily embedded in the header of
a web page* %t can enhance the dynamics and interacti"e features of a page by allowing users to
B
perform calculations< chec5 forms< write interacti"e games< add special effects< customiCe
graphics selections< create security passwords< and much more*
T3e 96ffe/en0e bet:een "a;aS0/62t an9 "a;a
(ctually< the two languages ha"e almost nothing in common eDcept for the name* (lthough 2a"a
is technically an interpreted programming language< it is coded in a similar fashion to $HH< with
separate header and class files< compiled together prior to eDecution* %t is powerful enough to
write major applications and insert them in a web page as special objects called applets* 2a"a
generates a lot of eDcitement because of its uni#ue ability to run the same program on %7M< Mac<
and !N%. computers* 2a"a is not considered an easy@to@use language for non@programmers*
2a"aScript is a programmable application programming interface L(P%M that allows cross@
platform scripting of e"ents< objects< and actions* %t allows the page designer to access e"ents
such as startups< eDits< and users mouse clic5s* 2a"aScript eDtends the programmatic capabilities
of most browsers to a wide range of authors< and is easy enough for anyone who can compose
4&M-* %t does not re#uire any compilation of the code or use of the applets*
P/os an9 0ons of "a;aS0/62t
2a"aScript is a compact< object@based scripting language for de"eloping client and ser"er %nternet
applications* %ts statements can be embedded directly in an 4&M- page* &hese statements can
recogniCe and respond to user e"ents such as mouse clic5s< form input< and page na"igation* For
eDample< in the project we used 2a"aScript date function where a user clic5s on an icon and a
calendar popups for the user to select the date* (lso menus in the project sites utiliCe some
2a"aScript to some eDtent*
2a"aScript can also be used to "erify that a user has entered "alid information into a form*
8ithout any networ5 transmission< an 4&M- page with embedded 2a"aScript can #uic5ly
interpret the entered teDt and alert the user with a message dialog if the input is in"alid* One can
use 2a"aScript to perform an action Lsuch as play an audio file< eDecute an applet< or
communicate with a plug@inM in response to the user opening or eDiting a page*
One has to use 2a"aScript with care because $ode that wor5s just great on %=9 might not wor5 at
all on Netscape 9< what wor5s in NN1 doesnt always wor5 in NN 9< and so on* (nother
disad"antage of 2a"aScript is its security* 7ecause the code eDecutes on the usersP computer< in
some cases it can be eDploited for malicious purposes* &his is one reason some people choose to
disable 2a"aScript*
Case for PHP
P4P is an open@source ser"er@side scripting language* P4P is a widely@used general@purpose
scripting language that is especially suited for dynamic web de"elopment and can be embedded
into 4&M-* &he P4P scripting language resembles 2a"aScript< 2a"a< and Perl* &hese languages
all share a common ancestor< the $ programming language*

(s more and more commercial< charitable and educational organiCations sought to de"elop and
maintain sites containing dynamic client@ser"er functionality< cheap and functional solutions
became commercially "iable* 8eb communities that had no financial goals also wished for full@
featured sites with< say< chat or forum functionality* &he solutions there were to come up with
needed to cost little and be implemented #uic5ly* (ll this re#uired new de"elopment technology<
that would)
be free or< at least< affordableN
be easily learnedN
allow an administrator to support a site without too much effortN
and pro"ide good application performance*
(s usual< the new demands were #uic5ly satisfied* %n 3BB9< the world without 5nowing carried
on something that was destined to grow into P4P* %t was a collection of open@source Perl scripts
written by Rasmus Lerdorf< a secluded genius from is5o< an island of Greenland* 4e did it
for his personal use< and he ne"er eDpected so much interest to arise when the world web
de"elopment society eDamined his pac5age* &his o"erwor5ed is5o@tech had to polish his scripts
further to fiD an infestation of bugs and impro"e performance* 7efore long< P4P was completely
rewritten in $
3
*
%n 3BBA< P4P was released in its 6
rd
"ersion* 7y that time< it turned into a respectable web
de"elopment tool that could compete with similar products that had 5ept busy Software
de"eloper giants such as Microsoft L(SPM and S!N L2a"a< 2SPM* (t the same time< it was free
Llicensed as open sourceM and number one easy to learn script language* &hese are some of the
factors that helped P4P to find millions of proponents within a short period of time* &here was
this #uote that Qif you want a website but are short of time or money< the easiest way for you to
get going would be to loo5 for a P4P specialist to de"elop your site for you*
P4P is not without its critics* &here is no technology that can escape critical misgi"ings and be
named the best and be uni"ersally ac5nowledged* P4P is of course no eDception* &echnology
should always be chosen according to priorities* %f the project in #uestion is on "ery large scale<
the 2a"a should be considered* For this project< P4P is the most appropriate without any
hesitation*
%=2o/tan0e of P!P
P4P is different from 2a"aScript* P4P is a ser"er@side scripting language* (ll of the wor5 is done
on the ser"er* 2a"aScript generally runs on the client machine and it has little access to the
information that the ser"er has< and full access to information on the client* 2a"aScript can do
lots of things on the client that P4P cannot* P4P has full access to the information that the ser"er
has< and "ery little access to information that the client has* %n fact< it only has information that
the client tells the ser"er and that the ser"er passes on to the P4P*
Since P4P is on the ser"er< P4P cannot be modified by the client* 8hile you cannot necessarily
trust the information that the client gi"es to P4P< you can trust that your P4P is doing what you
3
http)??www*de"eloper*com?lang?php? article*php?B00>/3
33
told it to do* 7ecause P4P is on the ser"er end< your P4P scripts can affect your ser"er such as
5eeping an acti"ity log or updating a database*
P4P and Perl often wor5 side@by@side since they are both ser"er@side* 8hereas P4P eDcels at
embedding dynamic content< Perl eDcels at modifying or filtering streams of teDt* P4P eDcels at
putting things into documents< and Perl eDcels at finding things in documents*
P4P has an ad"antage o"er Perl on most web sites because P4P is usually loaded as part of the
web ser"er* 8hen scripting languages run< the system has to first load the interpreter and then
compiles the language into code that the machine can understand* 8hen you tell P4P to echo
the current time to the web page< the computer needs to ha"e your command translated into
numbers that it can understand* Since the P4P interpreter is already loaded as part of the web
ser"ers software< it is always running* &his cuts out half of that process* &he interpreter is
already loaded< and it can go directly to compiling the language into code* 8hen web ser"ers see
a re#uest to run a Perl script< they usually ha"e to first load the Perl interpreter* &his happens
"ery #uic5ly< but when there are thousands or tens of thousands of re#uests coming e"ery
second< time can "ery #uic5ly add up*
P4P is more portable in that if it wor5s on one ser"er< it will most li5ely wor5 on any other
ser"er that supports it* Most %SPs that pro"ide ser"er@side scripting language pro"ide P4P* P4P
is the best choice for charities and educational organiCations that prefer free hosting ser"ices< as
P4P is commonly included in hosting pac5ages< and doesnt re#uire too much effort from
system administrators*
!an9l6n7 P!P Fo/=s
( P4P script runs on the ser"er and it can re#uest data from a database* &he ser"er machine
running the script forwards only 4&M- data to the client* P4P statements that output 4&M-
code are echo and print statements* P4P statements can be written between / 5inds of tags)
<?php //statements here?> or <? //statements here ?>*
P4P forms ha"e 4&M- form data and P4P code to handle the form* &he general format of a
P4P file Lhandling a formM is as below* %t initially displays only a form* 8hen user clic5s the
RSubmitS button< the page reloads itself and eDecutes the P4P statements in the if@statement*

systems< both for eDperimental purposes and for mission@critical purposes* &hey belie"e that the

Designing report pages with Fle(ireport
Fle56ARe2o/t Classes
&hese classes are used to format and create the finaliCed report* %t utiliCes $ascading Style Sheets
L$SSM for formatting the report* &hese classes were created by r* Grant Paton@Simpson the
irector of Paton@Simpson ' (ssociates -td based in (uc5land< New Vealand* &hese libraries
were de"eloped to wor5 with a MyS:- database but ha"e here been modified only the necessary
files to wor5 with an oracle database* So it is possible to see some codes that are related to
MyS:- and that are ne"er used here* &he classes are capable of doing more neat stuff than had
been used* &he classes support nested report le"els< sub@reports< and totals* &he report is
configurable to allow formatting of indi"idual fields) uppercase< percent< currency< decimal< date*
Other optional features include hyperlin5s inside cells< non@display of duplicate "alues<
conditional formatting< and shared column titles*
&here are se"eral library files and one $SS file that are used* &he re#uired classes are
+lexireport_$eport, +lexireport_Le-el, +lexireport_+ield, +lexireport_.alue
Lnot directly used but holds the code for formatting both Field and &otal classesM<
+lexireport_otal Loptional U re#uired if adding totalsM and /%utilit#_/%* &he detail of each
class will be eDamined latter but first let us eDplore the concepts behind the classes*
6ey concepts
&he 5ey concepts are the Report< -e"el< Field< Suble"el< and Subreport* &hey hang together as
follows)
( $eport has -e"els and optionally Su"reports* ( Report may also ha"e a 4eader< which
may contain an image such as a $ollege of 7usiness ' Public (dministration logo*
( Le-el is a set of rows of data for instance for faculty members in a epartment*
( -e"el has +ields li5e faculty name, phone number etc< and optionally !u%reports and
!u%le-els* So< for each department< there could be a subreport summariCing the department
members grants in an academic year* (t the faculty le"el< there can be a suble"el displaying
grants conducted indi"idually by faculty members in the department*
&here can be multiple Subreports and Suble"els* For each faculty member there could be a
Suble"el displaying their grants< followed by another Suble"el detailing their publications*
Fields are added to -e"els using the add+ield() method and its argument is an instance of a
field e*g*
$le4_courses1>addField(ne3 Fle(ireport_Field(!Term!F !semester!F UO$$D
8hen a -e"el has a Suble"el< the -e"el functions li5e a grouping "ariable for the Suble"el*
=ach row in the -e"el is followed by the rows in the Suble"el which belongs to it* So if the
-e"el was department and the Suble"el was faculty< we would ha"e one row from
department Le*g* %nformation &echnologyM followed by all the faculty members that belong to
that department< another row from department Le*g* (ccountingM followed by all the faculty
members that belongs to that department< and so forth*
>3
&here are no arbitrary limits to nesting e*g* ( Report could ha"e 30 le"els of nesting*
( simple Report would ha"e a 4eader and one -e"el e*g*
Staff Report
7ob Smith L-e"el row 3M
Sue $lar5 L-e"el row /M etc
For each row in a -e"el there may be a Suble"el e*g* in the following the le"el is
department< and the Suble"el is faculty)
Staff by epartment Report
%nformation &echnology L-e"el row 3M
7ob Smith LSuble"el row 3M
Sue $lar5 LSuble"el row /M
(ccounting L-e"el row /M
Mat 7rown LSuble"el row 3M
Sharon $hang LSuble"el row /M etc
7asically< Suble"els are filtered by the "alue of the -e"elLsM they are under U in this case the
faculty members displayed in each Suble"el are filtered by the department they are under*
For the relationship between a -e"el and a Suble"el to wor5 properly< both -e"el objects
must contain the lin5 fields in their source S:- and the parent -e"el must ha"e the lin5
