MySQL interface.

Post by cbayona »

Hello, everyone, I'm new and just found out about SpyderBasic. I'm looking for some software to use in creating an eCommerce site so I am wondering how easy it is or if it is even possible to interface SpyderBasic to MySQL databases? I found little information on the subject. The little I found points to having PHP routines to do the database functions and using SpyderBasic to interface to the PHP code. Looking at the manuals there is no reference to databases other than the ones used by SpyderBasic internally.

I own an older copy of Delphi for PHP so that is what I will compare it to. Either way, it's going to be a learning experience as I am not that experienced in PHP either so at this point it's a toss-up as to which language to use but interfacing to MySQL databases is a very important factor in selecting which way to go.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks

You basically have to do persistant storage over http right now, and http doesn't work on mobile SB yet.

On Android and IOS SB team *could* give access to native database interface, or document underlying library interfaces so others could. Right now if a non SB developer wants to use the native stuff already packaged with SB they have to reverse engineer binaries to see how to access the documented interfaces.
