DQP-Spidergraphs

This is the repository for the DQP in Oregon Spidergraphs. The Degree Qualifications Profile in Oregin is part of the national Degree Qualification Profile project through The Lumina Foundation.

The Spidergraphs are designed to allow individual institutions to input their institution, program and course outcomes and view them in a graphical way.

Server Config

The application was written using PHP (5.x) and MySQL (5.x) on a Linux server. PHP and MySQL are used conservatively, so you should be able to install this on any server with current versions of PHP/MySQL and have it up and running within a few minutes.

Unfortunately, this was written using PHP's MYSQL_ extension, which is depricated as of PHP 5.5 and will be totally gone in PHP 7. Since the DQP has been shut down in Oregon, updating the spidergraphs has fallen far down the priority list. If someone would like to convert all the queries over to PDO and submit it back, that would be great. Otherwise, I'm afraid the spidergraphs have a definite expiration date.
