Re: Filling out forms

You need to learn some C++ or Basic with MySQL access built in... The compiler is simply to run programs through a webserver, it won't give you a GUI, and user interaction will only be possible if the user runs it through a web server... The Compiler is ment to transport PHP scripts in a closed-source form, not to provide the scripts a GUI or allow the scripts to act on there own... ----- Original Message ----- From: "David VanHorn" <dvanhorn@cedar.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 5:07 PM Subject: [PHP] Filling out forms > Originally, I had planned to run this application with the zend compiler, > but as that's not out yet, I'm having to press ahead. > > What I'm doing, is taking a long form with a bunch of fields, from > validated users, and putting the data into a MySQL database. > > I cannot allow the users direct access to the database. > > What I'm looking for, is some way to fill out the form, other than by hand, > through a browser. > > I'm trying to avoid double-keying all this information. > > Ideally, this would be an app that the user runs on their system, or > something on my system run by rexec, but without the compiler, I can't go > that way. > > Is there any way to perform the same action and invoke a php script as if > from "submit" on a form, without a browser, from a linux/unix box? > > I'll also need to solve this for wintel, but that's another hurdle. > WHERE'S THAT COMPILER??? > :) > -- > > www.SpamWhack.com A pre-emptive strike against spam > A tornado is a lady whose skirts you do NOT want to look up! > Where's dave? > http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9 > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > >
