Creating Drupal Module

Here is a sample Drupal module that will enable us to add and display Student Information.
1. Create the student.info file

; $Id$
name = Student Module
description = A sample Drupal module.
core = 6.x

2. Create the student.install file

<?php
// $Id$

/**
 * Implementation of hook_schema()
 */
function student_schema()
{
    $schema['student_info'] = array(
        'description' => 'Student Information',
        'fields' => array(
            'id' => array(
                'description' => 'The primary identifier for student_info.',
                'type' => 'serial',
                'unsigned' => TRUE,
                'not null' => TRUE),
            'student_id' => array(
                'description' => 'Student ID Number',
                'type' => 'varchar',
