3.1 Hints

• Choose names (for functions, variables, SQL tables) that start with the name of the module (ex: vquiz_questions).
• Organize your code into functions (no "main" part!). Call to functions is done through a long URL like:

 index.php?module=joinproject&type=admin&func=main

Parameters: module(=module_name),type(='user'_or_'admin'),func(=function_name)

3.2 Important files

• Installation and initialisation: pninit.php, pntables.php
• Admin Interface: pnadmin.php, pnadminapi.php
• User Interface: pnuser.php, pnuserapi.php
• Language management: (dir) pnlang/(eng, fra, deu, ...)/admin.php,user.php

• All modules are under the "modules" directory
• All files of the same module have to be under the same directory that carries the same name with that of the module
• The internal structure of this directory has to resemble to the structure below:
