Fayimora:
Forget about certification and do your thing! Just my opinion! I know 2 Nigerians that brag about some crappy Java cert and yet they could not write a SIMPLE Library application, even after giving them a requirement spec! I was really disappointed and had to do that job myself! (I got an email and an offer but referred the employer to someone them). I believe your Seun would agree with me on this!

Businesstools: Too bad for me.I don't know a thing about programming.

ovo4u: What can one do with N150000...Gone are the days where one sees N100000 and will be happy about it. Na Milla everyone won hear

gururguy: if u can build it just build it and stop this posting posting

Seun:
I want to promote Python3 & CherryPy in Nigeria. I also want to bring great programmers out of the closet (for jobs).

dayhawk: @dualcore you are the only person to give a good answer because you sound like you understand the complexity behind complex systems. surely your data server architecture determines how master servers interact with slaves especially if you are restricted to a resource.
these days people tend to cling to "is a" and "part of" rather than top-down or data driven( method of programming)
this is because the former which mean 'class' and the lather which means 'object' reduces the complexity and hence organizes the hierarchy. these systems are canonical, the server architecture must not be superb but the code is...

this is why sites like google, facebook, twitter etc is still leading today. they experience no downtime because they create scripts that organize there resources before use and point them to a unique output sources, !! with no down time

what seun want exactly is simply: a code,a complex system method,a design.
with PHP this can be achieved easily.

1. create 15 similar db's on different servers and upload the same content
2. on the 15 servers upload 1 for each the jamb script default.php( this means that the should be 15 scripts in 15 servers
3. 15 domains or subdomains. any/
3 create an base server.(this is your 11th server and your main server...
now in your main server upload, index.php, inside jamb.org.ng/unifiedtme/
depending on what your .htaccess defines as your index,


inside index.php
------------------------------------

<?php
$a=rand(1,15);// rand number from 1 to 15
$b="http://www.jamb".$a."."."org.ng";//creates http://jambX.org.ng, where x is a random number btwn 1-15
$c=$b."/unifiedtme/default.php";// makes http://jambx.org.ng/unifiedtme/default.php

header('location:'.echo($c).''); // automatically redirects the person to a random server out of the 15 jamb servers


?>

in the default.php
simply setup your html form

<form action="process.php" method="post" name="jambresult">
<input type="text" name"jambinput" /><hr />
<h3>enter your reg num/SN/PIN</h3>
<a href="javascript:#" onclick="jambstart()" />
</form>

<div style="position:absoulute; top:40%; left:40%;height:auto; width:auto; z-index:100; visibility:hidden" id="divload">
<img src="processing.gif" />
</div> <!-- this animated image which writes processing,  displays for 10 seconds before the jamb form is submitted -->

<script>
jambstart()
{
setTimeout('jambwait()',10000)
var x=document.getElementById('divload')
x.style.visibility="visible";
 //
}
jambwait()
{
document.jambresult.submit()
}

<!-- this 10 seconds implement helps because the -->

</script>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


now process.php

<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time',30); //means this script executed over 30seconds then it times out
ini_set('memory_output',99999999999M); //increases the ram
include('config.php'); //dont use persistent connection
incude('check_class.php');
?>
<?php

$jin=mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes(striptags($_POST['jambinput'])));
$check=new result($jin) // sends data to the class 'result' ;
$check->good_e();

if($check)
{
}
?>

---------check_class.php--------------------------

<?php
class result
{
  function __construct($in) //takes data from 
{
$this->in=$in;
$this->update=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userresult WHERE regnum='$in' OR sn='$in' OR pin='$in'";
}

function good_e()
{
return $this->in;
if(mysql_num_rows($this->update) < 1)
{
echo "<script>alert('WRONG SN/PIN/REGNUM!')</script>"
}
else
{
setcookie("dog",$this->in,time()+2000); //sets cookie up after verification 
header('location:result.php'); //r
}

}

?>

--------result.php------------

<?php


include('config.php');
$bin=$_COOKIE['dog'];
$binx=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userresult WHERE  regnum='$in' OR sn='$in' OR pin='$in'"
sleep(10) // sleeps delays the person for 10 more seconds so that so many other people can aswell access the script without overload
$data=mysql_fetch_array($binx);

echo($data['subject1']);
echo($data['subject2']);
echo($data['subject3']);
echo($data['subject4']);
echo($data['regnum']);
echo($data['name']);
echo($data['examnum']);

mysql_close();
?>

------NOTE AS I SAID ALL THESE SCRIPT MUST BE ON EVERY SERVER EXCEPT THE MAIN SERVER and ALL THE SERVERS MUST
BE PHP 5.6 ENABLED AND MUST HAVE DATABASES ALL WITH IDENTICAL STRUCTURES AND DATA.

thanks

The JAMB website goes down every year when results are released. It's a national embarrassment, and it needs to be fixed right away. I bet the JAMB website is going to crash again after the next UTME exam if we don't show them how it's done!

yamakuza:

how many minutes will it take you to port this to Python and claim the N150k?

dayhawk:
sorry yamakuza,i am not translating this to python yet..."im working on my first industrial website,and i had to take a leave of more that 4hours to figure out and give the correct answer in the best language" just like a dying star on the verge of collapse or a young child learning how to read, just like your white blood cells rushing to attack a virus : these are but a few of the ways to address objects in our physical worlds. oop[lb] is difficult to understand in one language and impossible to accomplish on multiple platforms. i am 100% sure that my solution solves the issue stated.
yet i believe for the best result using js + php would,and have given us the best result. due to php->js and js->client integration. the impact is just too much to neglect.

i only decided give a feedback because i want seun join my group,because we are developing a site that might possible absorb the world!!hopefully. will be launched in two week!

"one tackles complexity/problem with simplicity/solution(PHP), and not complexity/problem with complexity/problem(PY)".

ivoice247: @dayhawk.. stop wasting your time. What you posted is a simple database script for processing, submitting and extracting data. Master/slave servers are only responsible for communication protocol and not load balancing issues. The crash on jamb website can NEVER be solved by creating 15 databases on 15 servers, 15 domains/subdomains etc blah blah blah, nor can it be solved by using python or google code or what ever super script writing program knowledge you might posses.... IT IS SIMPLY A SERVER PROBLEM.. plain and simple.

@dualcore... you are CORRECT. The problem is load balancing (in layman's term;- managing visitor's traffic to the website) has already been identified in Seun's post.

You see, the problem is that jamb is hosting their website on a server which has limited bandwidth throughout the year, although this bandwidth is enough during most times of the year, there's usually an exponential surge in visitor's traffic during the release of results which causes the servers to crash or shutdown. The solution will be for them to increase server capacity during these periods so as to accommodate the sudden increase in traffic. But it will be very expensive to maintain these server capacity throughout the year so what i suggest is that they go for AMAZON EC2 (amazon elastic compute cloud hosting);- this is a pay-as-you-go server hosting service, where you only pay for server capacity utilized and automatically increases or decreases the server capacity as traffic increases or decreases.
