Delphi, EDB and MySQL |
Sun, Feb 21 2010 5:47 AM | Permanent Link |
Uli Becker | Hi everybody,
sometimes I am asked to write a (local) application with an interface to the web. They all have apache servers using php and mysql, so I can't use EDB online. Users should be able to login, request informations, enter dates etc. From my point of view there are several approaches: 1. Complete programming in php and mysql und running everything online. 2. Combination of a Delphi written application with a mySQL database and either accessing this database online or doing it by replication (online->offline). I would prefer a third approach: Using php and MySQL online and Delphi and EDB offline. Has anyone done that before and can give some hints on exchanging data efficiently between EDB and MySQL? Regards Uli |

I'm working on doing something similar at the moment. Firstly, I have a website developed in PHP/MySQL using the CodeIgniter framework ( http://www.codeigniter.com ). The user has a Delphi application that can send and receive information to/from the website using controllers. That's fairly easy to do. Secondly, I am working on an online system (PHP and MySQL) that can retrieve data from an offline Delphi/ElevateDB system. Not so easy. Still trying to work out how to do this efficiently.

I'm considering developing a PHP interface for ElevateDB, but it would only work with Windows until Delphi is available for Linux. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
