You need to implement a web application that is split in three parts, namely, Webpage, PHP and Database. Each of them will be employed synergically to solve the simple problem described below. Your implementation should be able to resist all the most common security threats.

Webpage: This is the main page of your application. It would contain two sections, ADD and SEARCH: ADD section contains:

-A text box to input an Advisor name

-A text box to input a Student name

-A text box to input the Student ID code

-A text box to input the class code

-A button to allow the user to add the above specified data in the Database

SEARCH section contains: A search box (with corresponding button) that allows the user to query the database for Advisors name

PHP:

-Implement one or more PHP functions that read the inputs from the ADD section of the Webpage and prepare the corresponding query to add the record in the Database.

-Implement one or more PHP functions that read the input from the SEARCH section and prepare the corresponding query for the Database.

-Implement a function that, when a search is made in the SEARCH section, it shows in input the result of the query

Database: You need to create a database that contains at least a table to store the information in input to the webpage.

1.  An investigator wishes to compare the average time to relief of headache pain under three

distinct medications, call them Drugs A, B, and C. Fifteen patients who suffer from chronic

headaches are randomly selected for the investigation, and five subjects are randomly assigned

to each treatment. The following data reflect times to relief (in minutes) after taking the

assigned drug.

Test if there is a significant difference in the mean times among three treatments. Use α =

0.05. (apply ANOVA)

a) State the null and alternative hypothesis.

Null: all means are equal

Alternative: Atleast one mean is different

b) State your conclusion about the hypothesis based on the test statistic and critical value

Reject the hypothesis because there is a huge difference between the 3 treatments and their means

c) Perform multiple comparison test to show whether there are significant differences between the drugs
