Secure Database Help

xperimental · 02-12-2001, 05:31 PM

1st thanks to anyone who offers some help.
What I am looking for is:

1) An intro to PHP, seeing as it seems to be used for a lot of Flash + Database combo's. I haven't used it before and don't know the first thing about it so if someone could provide a link, or reference material, it would be highly appreciated!

2) I would consider myself an intermediate level designer when it comes to HTML/Java etc., What I would like to do is have various forms that submit to a database. Generally speaking I use Access for database development. And code a cgi, or use .asp to process the info from an HTML form.

--- Any ideas what would be the best way to do this within a flash site? it should be noted that many of these forms would reside in a secure environment.

Thanks again!

I started learning PHP/mySQL interaction from this tutorial:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/...tutorial4.html

I already knew a little PHP, which I learned from the Manual. Checkout http://www.php.net and #PHP on Efnet. Read the manual, (do a search for what you're trying to achieve), as it's a pretty easy language actually.

I don't know if you actualyl can interact between PHP and Access. You'd have to find that out yourself. I did recently learn a mad way of using LoadVariablesNUM with a PHP script to directly return results from a database (without an intermediate txt or data file on the server). It's really quite groovy, but would require some existing knowlegde of PHP. I think I'll write a tutorial on it soon.

Cheers

Jesse
