Implementation We are now familiar with the requirements and important design issues of the shopping cart application. It is a good time to walk through the code. This section assumes that the readers are familiar with the WML syntax. Let’s first look at the application screenshots. This will help us in understanding the code better. Import To run the application from your PC, you will have to use a phone simulator. I ant used UP Simulator for testing the application, available from http://developer.phone.com/download/index.html. This is the main page of the application. From here, the existing users can go to the login screen, or new users can register themselves. To register, new users enter their name, user id, password, address, and credit card details. The user will be presented with a series of input forms (one per screen) for entering these details. The above screenshot is the first screen where the user enters their first name. In WML all the input forms cannot be displayed in one screen because of the display size limitations of the mobile devices. If the registration is successful then the following page is displayed, else an error message is displayed. The user can go to the login page, by selecting the Login page link: To login to the site the user enters their user id and password. If the authentication succeeds, then the main page of the application is returned: The adjacent screenshot is the main page of the application. When the user chooses Search they are shown a screen describing the search functionality of the application. The user should select the soft link OK to go to the next screen: The adjacent screenshot is the first input screen of the search menu. Here the user enters the search text, and presses the soft link OK to go to the next screen. Next, the user selects the search criteria and selects OK. Now the search request is sent to the server: The adjacent screenshot displays the search results. The user can select the link to view the details of the item: The above screenshot displays the details of the searched item. The user can either add the item to his cart by selecting the soft link ADD, or can go back to the earlier screen (Search Results) by selecting the soft link BACK. The user can then either view the details of the added item by selecting its link, or can view the contents of the cart by selecting the Display Cart link, or can go to the main page of the application by selecting the soft link HOME: The above screenshot displays the contents in the user’s cart. The user can view the details of an item by selecting the appropriate link. From here, the user can either change the quantity of this item by selecting the soft link CHG, or go back to the earlier (display cart) screen by selecting the BACK soft link: The above page is displayed when the user goes to the check out. From here, the user can either view the shipping address details by selecting the Address Details link, or can view their credit card details by selecting Credit Card Detailslink, or can go to the home page of the application: Page 553

. Open a database connection . Execute SQL commands . Manipulate/display data . Close the database connection To save the overhead of opening and closing of the database connection for each invocation of the PHP program, persistent database connections will be used. Persistent database connections remain open, even after the PHP script that opened the connection has exited. For more details on persistent database connections, refer to Chapter 17. Import ant Persistent connections will be useful only when PHP is configured as a module in the web server. See Chapter 2 for more details. Page 552

Design Consideration for the Middle Tier In this section we will make important design decisions and set guidelines that will be followed by all the application’s PHP scripts. Authentication The user, when entering the site, enters their user id and password. The PHP script verifies the user id and password, and, depending on the result, allows the user to use the application. After this, the user need not specify their user id and password again. The HTTP protocol is a stateless protocol, which means that for each browser request a new network connection is opened with the web server. The PHP script (running on the web server) should have a mechanism to identify the user from the request. The shopping cart application will use PHP sessions to implement the authentication mechanism. The application will create a PHP session after the user is authenticated. The user id and the isAuthenticated flag will be stored in the PHP session. All the PHP scripts will use the session variable isAuthenticated, to find out if the session is authenticated. The user of the session can be found from the value of session variable $userId. Session Storage One of the requirements of the application was to support multiple instances of the middle tier. This would require additional load balancing software that would distribute HTTP requests (depending on the load balancing policy) to different middle tier servers. Now the deployment scenario will look something like this: With the above deployment scenario, requests of a session might get forwarded to different middle tier servers. This would require the sessions to be shared across all the middle tier servers. The default session implementation of PHP does not allow session sharing between multiple PHP instances running on different machines. We will implement session handlers to store and retrieve session data from the back-end database. With these session handler functions, middle tier instances running on different machines will be able to share PHP sessions. This scheme of storing sessions in the database provides additional reliability, which means that the user will be able to access the application even if one of the middle tier instances goes down. WML Issues The application implementation will follow the following guidelines to take care of WML device constraints (small display size, navigational difficulty). A WML introduction has been provided along with the code which can be downloaded from the Wrox web site at http://www.wrox.com/: . Only relevant information, with links to get the details, will be displayed in the first card of the WML page. For example, in the first card of the search results page only the titles of the searched items will be displayed as links pointing to another card in the same page. The user can select the link to get the details of the item. . Only three items will be displayed per WML page. A link will be provided to view next items. For example, if there are ten transactions in a user’s account, then the view account details page will display only the first three transactions in the first page and will provide a link View Next Items (pointing back to the server), to view the remaining transactions. . A HOME link, pointing to the main page of the application, will be provided in all the WML cards. The user can select the HOME link anytime for going to the main page of the application. This way the user will have to traverse only two links to access any functionality. The WML page is of mime type text/vnd.wap.wml, so all the PHP scripts will send the Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml HTTP header. Performance Most PHP programs that access a back-end database will do the following tasks: Page 551

itemType VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, title VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL, artist VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL, price FLOAT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(itemNo)); CREATE TABLE Transaction ( orderNo INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, userId VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, itemNo VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, quantity INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, date DATE NOT NULL, status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL); CREATE TABLE Session ( lastAccessed TIMESTAMP, id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, data TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(id)); Indices Indices are created on the ItemNo, Title, and Author/Artist columns of the BookShopand MusicShoptables. Creation of indices on these columns will result in faster searches in the database. Import Indices are used to find rows with a specific value for a column quickly. The ant index stores the mapping between the value of the column, and the physical location of the row. Without indices the database will have to do a complete scan of the table (lots of disk I/O), to search for rows with specific values for a column. SQL commands for creating indices (shopindices.sql): USE shop; CREATE INDEX indexOnBookItemNo ON BookShop(itemNo); CREATE INDEX indexOnBookTitle ON BookShop(title); CREATE INDEX indexOnBookAuthor ON BookShop(author); CREATE INDEX indexOnMusicItemNo ON MusicShop(itemNo); CREATE INDEX indexOnMusicTitle ON MusicShop(title); CREATE INDEX indexOnMusicArtist ON MusicShop(artist); Page 550

In our case, the database and the middle tier will be hosted on different machines. So, grant all privileges on all objects in the shop database to user PHP, connecting from any machine: mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON shop.* TO ‘PHP@%’ IDENTIFIED BY “PHP”; Execute the following SQL script (shop.sql) at the command prompt to create the shopdatabase and tables: mysql < shop.sql CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS shop; USE shop; CREATE TABLE UserProfile ( fname VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, lname VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, userId VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL, address VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL, city VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, country VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL, zipCode VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL, gender VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL, age INTEGER NOT NULL, emailId VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, phoneNumber VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL, cardNo VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL, expiryDate DATE NOT NULL, cardType VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL, accountBalance FLOAT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(userId)); CREATE TABLE BookShop ( itemNo VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, itemType VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, title VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL, author VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL, price FLOAT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(itemNo)); CREATE TABLE MusicShop ( itemNo VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, Page 549

The Session table, stores the data of PHP sessions: Column Name Description lastAccessed Time when the session was last accessed Id Unique session identifier Data Session data Database User One database user, PHP, is created for the shopping cart application. All the PHP scripts in the middle tier connect to the back-end database as user PHP. This user has all privileges on the tables of the shopping cart application. We need SQL commands for granting privileges on the tables in the shop database to the user PHP. To do so, execute the following SQL statement. The mysqlutility can be used for executing SQL commands. mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON shop.* TO ‘PHP@localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY “PHP”; Page 548

Design of the Database Schema In this section we will create the database schema of the application. The application’s data (tables and indices) will be stored in a separate database (shop). Generally all the schema objects related to an application should be stored in a separate database/table space. It helps in easy management of related database objects. For example, to back up the data of the shopping cart application, the database administrator has to back up only one database (shop). Database Tables The following tables will be created in the shop database: . UserProfile . BookShop . MusicShop . Transaction . Session The UserProfile table contains user information: Column Name Description Fname First name of the user Lname Last name of the user UserId Unique user id Password Encrypted password of the user Address Street address City City Country Country ZipCode Zip code Gender Male/Female Age User’s age Emailed User’s e-mail address PhoneNumber Phone number of the user CardNo User’s credit card number ExpiryDate Expiry date of the credit card CardType User’s credit card type Master/Visa AccountBalance Balance in the user’s account The BookShop table contains the description of available book titles: Column Name Description Itemno Unique identifier for the book Itemtype Book type Title Title of the book Page 547

a scripting solution is preferred over servlets and CGI programs. . PHP provides APIs for accessing a large set of databases, and supports features like persistent database connections, and sessions. These features will be heavily used in the middle tier. Page 546

Choosing Software The requirements of the application call for the application to be web-based, with a WML front-end. The application will require a back-end database to store user profiles, user transactions, and the list of music/book titles available at the site. The application will also have a middle tier (the web server plus scripts which are executed by the server), to process the application requests sent from the browser. The browser will send WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) requests to the WAP gateway, which in turn will forward the request to the middle tier using HTTP. The middle tier will get the data from the back-end database, do some processing on the data, and send the reply back to the WAP gateway, which in turn will send the data back to the client browser using the WAP protocol: Import ant A WAP gateway is software that acts as a bridge between a network that supports WAP protocol and Internet Protocol (IP) network. Alternatives for the Back-End Database The back-end database stores the following data: . Information about registered users . Book and music titles available at the site . Record of transactions carried out by users We have two alternatives for storing the above listed information: . Flat files . Relational databases like Oracle, MySQL, or Sybase Flat files are ruled out, because that would lead to implementing lots of functionality, like designing the layout so that the data can be manipulated later, and designing a simple interface for accessing the data from files. This functionality is already available in relational databases. We have chosen MySQL as our back-end database. The reasons for this include: . MySQL is an open source relational database, so it has a cost advantage over other commercial databases . MySQL is highly scalable and easy to administer . MySQL supports client APIs for a large set of programming languages (like Perl, C, and PHP), so it gives more choice of programming languages for implementing the middle tier Alternatives for the Middle Tier The middle tier will generate WML pages dynamically, using the data available in the back-end database. For example, to display the book titles available at the site, the middle tier will get the list of books from the back-end database, and will generate a WML page containing the list of books. The following are the alternatives for implementing the middle tier: . Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs written in Perl/C. These programs can access the back-end database using the database’s language APIs. . Servlets, written in Java. Servlets can access the back-end database using Java’s SQL APIs and the database’s JDBC driver. JDBC drivers are available for almost all databases. . Server-side scripting language like PHP, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and Active Server Pages (ASP). These languages support APIs for accessing almost all relational databases. PHP is chosen for implementing the middle tier for the following reasons: . PHP is available on a large set of platforms (Linux, UNIX, and Windows NT) and a variety of web servers (Apache and IIS). Therefore, we get a choice of platform and web server for hosting the middle tier. . Performance is one of the implicit requirements for any web-based application, so Page 545
