COMS 201 Minnesota State University Mankato BLC Synology NAS using File Station Project

It is using HTML and CSS to make a movie review website.

The files tmnt.html and move.css are starter files. HW2-Files.zip contains the media elements and files needed for this project.

For part I of this project, you will upload your solution in a folder called HW2 to the BLC Synology NAS using File Station.

HW3 is a continuation of HW2 and adds PHP into the mixture of required elements. This assignment does require the use of PHP file IO and array functions; it does NOT require and should not use HTML / PHP forms. (We have not covered forms yet.)

The files are movie.php and movie.css. You should NOT need to modify movie.css from HW2. So use movie.css, but you it should work as is. Basically your creating a dynamic PHP file to replace the static HTML file in HW2. This page will show review and information for many different films, not just TMNT.

Read the HWAssign3 Movie Review PDF for the details. You will also find a zip file with all the movie files (titled moviefiles.zip). For this, part II of this project, you will upload your solution in a folder called HW3 to the BLC Synology NAS using File Station.

Jot down questions for class and be prepared to start coding ASAP the week of February 15.

Internet Programming Assignment 2: Movie Review Part I
This assignment is about CSS and HTML for layout, positioning, and the CSS box model. You will create files for a
fake movie review web site named Rancid Tomatoes for the film TMNT. Turn in the following files by uploading
them to the your web space on the BLC Synology NAS using File Station.
• tmnt.html
• movie.css, the stylesheet for tmnt.html
You will recreate the page below. Your page must match the appearance specified in this document.
We do not expect you to produce a pixel-perfect page that exactly matches this image. But your page should follow
the styles specified in this document and match the look, layout, and behavior shown here as closely as possible.
We will provide you a skeleton of tmnt.html with the page contents, but no page sections or styles. The only
modifications you should make are to divide it into sections using div/span tags and add id and class attributes.
You should also replace the last two “YOUR REVIEW HERE” reviews with text of your choice. (You are also
allowed to add the HTML necessary to enable the “favorites icon” or “favicon” specified on the next page.)
Our next assignment, Movie Review Part II, will build on the code you write in this assignment.

Appearance Details:
All images on the page and mentioned in the following text are hosted on the web with the following file names.
banner.png
overview.png
bannerbg.png
background.png
rottenbig.png
rbg.png
fresh.gif
rotten.gif
critic.gif
The page’s title is TMNT – Rancid Tomatoes . The page has a “favorites icon” (“favicon”) of rotten.gif.
The page background is background.png. Page text uses 8pt font, using Verdana, Tahoma, or any sans-serif font on
the system. The page body has no margin or padding, so its contents stretch to the very edge of the browser window.
The top of the page is an image banner. The center of this banner is banner.png. Behind this banner bannerbg.png
repeats horizontally across the length of the page. Each image is 50px tall. (Hint: To make the banner stretch to the edges of
the page, use the bannerbg.png as the background image of a block element that is behind banner.png.) Underneath the image banner
is a centered heading containing the movie name and year in a 24pt bold font. The preferred fonts for this heading are
Tahoma, Verdana, or any sans-serif font available on the system. The text in the header has a “shadow” located 3px
right and 3px down from the original text, using the color #999999.
Below the main heading is the page’s overall content area, with an overall 33% rating for the film, several critics’
reviews, and an overview of the film at right. Taken together this content occupies 800px in width and is centered
horizontally within the page. If the page resizes horizontally, this 800px section should move dynamically so that it
remains centered horizontally on the page. This overall section has a 4px gray solid border with a 20px round radius
and should be sized large enough to contain all of its contents. (Hint: See textbook section 4.3 on making contents fit.)
In the overall area there is a 560px-wide left section for the “rotten” 33% rating and the critics’ reviews of the film.
The section is topped by a smaller section containing a large “rotten” image (rottenbig.png), vertically aligned to be
even with the bottom of the text around it. Behind this the image rbg.png repeats horizontally across the entire length
of the section. Each of these images is 83px tall. This is followed by the 33% overall rating for the film, which is
shown in a 48pt red bold font.
Below the 33% overall rating, there are two columns of reviews. The columns each occupy 47% of the width of the
overall left-center section of the page. There is a horizontal spacing of 2% between the columns and neighboring
content. (Hint: See textbook section 4.3.4 on multi-column layouts but avoid the new column-* CSS3 properties.)
Each review is a box with a quote about the movie, in bold 8pt font. The quote box has a background color of
#E8DC9B, and a gray border, 2px thick with a 10px round radius. 8px separate the quote box’s content from its
border. Each box has an icon (fresh.gif or rotten.gif) for whether the reviewer liked or disliked the movie on the left
side of the quote box, with 5px separating it from text to its right. Text wraps around the images as needed.
The reviewer’s personal information follows under the quote box, including: the reviewer’s name; and the publication
in italic. A reviewer icon (critic.gif) is shown to the left of the text, with 5px of horizontal space separating it from the
Copyright © Marty Stepp / Jessica Miller, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. All rights reserved.
text. There is 20pt of vertical space between reviews. (Hint: Paragraphs in movie reviews should be made large enough to contain
all their content, including any floating content. See textbook section 4.3.3 on making contents fit into a container.)
The top eight reviews should be as shown, but you should change the last two to hold any text that you like.
To the right of the critics’ reviews is a General Overview section of the page with a list of information about the
movie, with a background color of #A2B964. This section is 250px wide, with 10pt between the edge of the section
and the text of the list. Its text appears in an 8pt font of Arial or any sans-serif font available on the system. You may
assume that the general overview section will always be taller than the section of reviews to its left.
The section includes a definition list (using dl, dt, and dd elements) about the movie such as its stars and director.
Each term is bolded and has 10pt of vertical separation between it and the element that precedes it. The bottom of
this section contains a list of links about the movie. The list should be shown without bullets or indentation.
Below the reviews is a bar of centered text indicating reviews “(1-10) of 88”, with a background color of #A2B964. It
is placed directly next to surrounding content. 5px separate the edge of its text and the element’s own outer edge.
The page’s bottom right corner has links to the W3C validators. These images should remain fixed in the page’s
bottom-right corner, even after scrolling. The images should appear as 50% opaque, halfway transparent.
All other style elements on the page are subject to the preference of the web browser.
Implementation and Grading:
Submit your assignment online to the new class Synology NAS as shown in class. You can view your pages on the
Synology NAS by going to the following URL with your web directory name (i.e. Perry-Web). See an example below.
http://lundhome.synology.me/FName-Web/ (insert your first name in place of FName)
We strongly recommend that you use the development tools on this assignment. Chrome includes an “Inspect”
tool.) See this 4-minute video. Using it to inspect elements will help you find problems with the box model and your
styles. We suggest using the “Layout” tab at bottom right to see the box model settings for particular elements.
Microsoft Edge (Chromium version) is similar (see video). Firefox and Safari have similar developer tools.
For full credit, your page must use valid HTML5 and successfully pass the W3C HTML5 validator. Do not express
style information in the HTML, such as inline styles or presentational HTML tags such as b or font.
Express all stylistic information on the page using CSS defined in movie.css. The majority of the points for this
assignment will be for the movie.css file. For full credit, your style sheet must successfully pass the W3C CSS
validator. Part of your grade comes from expressing your CSS concisely and without unnecessary or redundant styles.
For example, the two main columns of reviews share many (if not all) styles in common, so you should not specify
those styles twice in your CSS file. As another example, if the page uses the same color or font family for multiple
elements, group those elements into a single CSS rule, so that it would be possible to change the page’s color/font by
modifying a single place in the CSS. Use context selectors to avoid needing to apply classes and IDs to large numbers

of elements. Limit the use of absolute and fixed positioning on this assignment. Do not use HTML or CSS constructs
past Chapter 4 of the textbook, and do not use HTML tables.
Format your HTML and CSS to be as readable as possible, similarly to the examples from class. Place a comment
header in each file with your name, section, a brief description of the assignment, and the file’s contents. Properly use
whitespace and indent your HTML and CSS code as shown in class. To keep line lengths manageable, do not place
more than one block element on the same line or begin a block element past the 100th character on a line. For
reference, our solution has roughly 130 lines of CSS (85 “substantive”), but you do not need to match this exactly.
Part of your grade will also come from successfully uploading your files to the Synology NAS web server. You should
place your files into your public web space in a subdirectory named HW2, so that it is possible to navigate to your
page in the browser.

Internet Programming Assignment 3: Movie Review Part Deux
For this assignment you will write PHP code for movie review pages much like your TMNT page from Assignment 2.
Your PHP code will allow you to generate reviews for a variety of movies using the same code. Turn in these files:
!”movie.php, the PHP code to produce review pages for movies
!”movie.css, the stylesheet for movie.php (probably does not need to be modified from HW2 version)
We do not expect you to produce a pixel-perfect page that exactly matches our images. But your page should follow
the styles specified in this document and match the look, layout, and behavior shown here as closely as possible.
The overall page looks the same as it did in the previous assignment. The difference is that the page might show
reviews and information for a film other than TMNT. For example, the following output shows The Princess Bride:
To make things simpler, the page’s title should now always be just “Rancid Tomatoes”.
From the course website you will download a .ZIP archive of input files for many movies, described on the next
page. Unzip this file into the same directory as your HW3 files, so that the files will be located in relative paths such as
tmnt2/info.txt and princessbride/overview.png. Your code should assume these are the relative paths to use.
(Don’t put them in a moviefiles/ folder. Put each film’s folder, such as tmnt2/ or mortalkombat/, directly in your hw3 folder.)
The page uses the same images as HW2, with two minor changes. The tmnt.html page showed rottenbig.png next
to its 33% rating. But now some films have high overall ratings. Any film whose rating is 60% or above should show
freshbig.png, shown at right. Also overview.png has moved, since each movie has its own overview
image. Link to all of the “fixed” images using their full absolute URLs, not relative ones. The overview

images are the one exception; since these now come from the support ZIP file and reside in the folder with the
movie’s information, link to these using a relative path such as “tmnt2/overview.png”.
All style elements not described here should be as specified in HW2 or subject to the preference of the web browser.
The screenshots in this document were taken on Windows in the latest version of Firefox, which may differ from
your system.
Appearance Details:
Your movie.php page will show reviews of different movies based upon a query parameter named film that is passed
from the browser to the page in its URL. The value of this variable should be a string representing the movie to
display. The browser will request your page with a URL such as the following:
movie.php?film=princessbride
Your PHP code can store this parameter’s into a variable using code such as the following:
$movie = $_GET[“film”];
All of your PHP code should use this parameter’s value, and you should never hard-code particular movie names.
Your code may assume that the browser has properly supplied this parameter and has given it a valid value. You may
assume that the movie exists and has a corresponding folder of valid input data and images. You do not have to
handle the case of a missing or empty film parameter, a value that contains bad characters, a value of a movie that is
not found, etc.
Based upon the movie name variable’s value, display a review of that film. Each film is stored in a directory named the
same as your query parameter. For example, the film princessbride stores its files in a folder named princessbride/
. The files associated with each movie are the following. You may assume that the files exist and are valid at all times.
!”info.txt, a file with three lines of information about the film: its title, year, and overall rating percentage. The
information is used as the page heading and overall red movie rating number. Here’s an example file:
The Princess Bride
1987
95
!”overview.txt, a file with information to be placed in the General Overview section of your page. Each pair of
neighboring lines contains the title and value for one item of information, to be displayed as a definition list term (dt)
and its description (dd). The number of lines in the file varies from movie to movie. Example:
STARRING:Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Andre the Giant, Mandy Patinkin
DIRECTOR:Rob Reiner
PRODUCER:Arnold Scheinman, Rob Reiner
SCREENWRITER:William Goldman
…

!”overview.png, an image to display at the top of the General Overview section. This is the movie poster for the film,
such as the one shown at right.
!”review1.txt, review2.txt, …, files containing information for each review of the film. Each review file contains
exactly four lines: The review, a fresh/rotten rating, the reviewer’s name, and the publication. For example,
review1.txt might store the following:
One of Reiner’s most entertaining films, effective as a …
FRESH
Emanuel Levy
emanuellevy.com
o
Different movies have different numbers of reviews. Show the first half of the reviews in the left column,
and the rest on the right. If a movie has an odd number of reviews, the left column receives the extra review.
For example, Princess Bride has 7 reviews, with the first four go on the left and the last three on the right. If
a movie has only a single review, it goes in the left column. Do not worry about the possibility that the
overview and reviews sections will be wildly different in height. (You may assume that the film has at least 1 review,
but it might have 10 or more; you should display them all.) The green bar along the bottom of the page also should
now display “(1 – N) of N” where N is the number of reviews for the current movie. ”
If a review has 10 or more reviews (such as tmnt2), the names will be e.g. review01.txt, …. Don’t hard-code
file names like “review1.txt”; look for all files that begin with “review” and end with “.txt”. ”
o
The image to show for each review is affected by the second line of the review’s text file. If the critic gave
the film a FRESH rating, display fresh.gif. If it’s ROTTEN, display rotten.gif. ”
For example, if your variable stores “princessbride”, open princessbride/info.txt to read the film’s
title/year/etc. and display that on the page. Open princessbride/overview.txt and display its contents in the
General Overview section on the right side. Then look for all review files in princessbride/ and display
each in the reviews area. ”
Creative Aspect: Your Own Movie
As part of your turn in, create your own set of movie input data to be fed into your movie.php page. Write an
info.txt, overview.txt, and at least 4 review text files for your movie. Also find a suitable image to use as
overview.png of size 250x412px. You can resize an image using the free GIMP editor or a program of your choice.
Turn in your movie’s files as mymovie.zip along with your assignment.
Development Strategy and Hints:
PHP code is difficult to debug if you have errors. Write the program incrementally, adding small pieces of code to a
working page, and not advancing until you have tested the new code. We suggest that get your page to display a single
Copyright © Marty Stepp / Jessica Miller, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. All rights reserved.
film (such as princessbride or tmnt2) first, then generalize it for other films. None of your code should refer to
specific names of films such as princessbride. The following functions may be helpful:
!”count – returns the number of elements in an array
!”explode – breaks apart a string into an array of smaller strings based on a delimiter
!”file – reads the lines of a file and returns them as an array
!”glob – given a file path or wildcard such as “foo/bar/*.jpg”, returns an array of matching file names
!”list – unpacks an array into a set of variables; useful for dealing with fixed-size arrays of data
!”trim – removes whitespace at the start/end of a string (gets rid of stray spaces in output)
Implementation and Grading:
Still turn in your movie.css even if it did not change. Our movie.php solution is about 120 lines long (90
“substantive”).
For full credit, your page’s output for all films must successfully pass the W3C HTML validator. (Not the PHP
source code itself, but the HTML output it generates, must validate. To validate your page, view the page on the
server, then choose View Source in your browser and copy/paste it into the validator.) Do not use HTML tables on
this assignment.
Your PHP code should not cause errors or warnings. We will also grade the style of your PHP code; like a CSE 14x
assignment. Do not use the global keyword. Use indentation/spacing, and avoid long lines over 100 characters. Use
material from the first three weeks of class and the first five book chapters. (Textbook Chapter 5 is a good resource.)
Be mindful of “mode switches” between PHP code and HTML tags using . Produce as much of your
output in HTML mode as possible; only switch to “PHP mode” to compute or print dynamic content. For full credit,
you should reduce the number of large complex chunks of PHP code that are placed in the middle of your HTML
code. When possible, replace such chunks with functions that are called in the HTML and declared at the bottom of
your file.
Your page should not contain any print and echo statements. Instead, insert dynamic content into the page using
PHP expression blocks as taught in class.
Another grading focus is redundancy. You should not have code that depends on particular movies or uses if/else
statements to see which movie to display. Use loops, variables, if/else factoring, etc. to avoid redundancy.
Another grading focus is PHP commenting. We expect more comments here, similar to CSE 14x. Put a descriptive
header (name, course, TA, description) at the top of your code and comment each non-trivial section of PHP code
explaining the purpose of that code.
Format your HTML and PHP code similarly to the examples from class. Properly use whitespace and indentation.
Do not place more than one block element on a line or begin a block element past the 100th character. CSS is not a
major part of this assignment, but your CSS file should validate, and you should not introduce new bad/invalid CSS
code.
Part of your grade will also come from successfully uploading your files to the web. You should place your files into
your public web space in a subdirectory named HW3, so that it is possible to navigate to your page in the browser.

One can have a reasonably amusing time with this predictable sequel, which is a
bit longer on action and shorter on wit and character than the original. FRESH

“Ditching the cheeky,
excuse the concept’s inherent
corniness, the movie attempts to
look polished and ‘cool,’ but the
been-there animation can’t compete
with the then-cutting-edge puppetry
of the 1990 live-action movie.’
“The turtles themselves may
look prettier, but are no
smarter; torn irreparably from their
countercultural roots, our
superheroes on the half shell have
been firmly co-opted by the
industry their creators once sought
to spoof.”

“TMNT is a fun, action-filled
adventure that will satisfy
longtime fans and generate legion
of new ones.”
“Impersonally animated and
arbitrarily plotted, the story
appears to have been made up as
the filmmakers went along.”
