Dairy farmers of America Survey
The "DFA Survey" is a system where end users are asked to provide responses to pre-defined questions asking them about their agricultural farming business. From their responses, a report known as a "plan" will be generated that advises both the end user and the system administrator on changes the end user should make to their business to improve it.
The system was implemented with PHP 4 and PostgreSQL 7.4. While not absolutely necessary, the system was designed to work with PHP 5 and PostgreSQL 8.2 as well. A *Nix and Apache environment was assumed.
The system had complex business logic related to the set of questions offered to the user, depending on his/her feedback. Once the survey is completed the user will be sent two "plans" in pdf format. Professinally formatted reports were generated using freely available pdf library "ezpdf" as pdf module was not available.
