Hi guys. I have a question. I am wanting to create a page on my site that the customers can go to, pull up info on themselves, and fill out information about themselves or things that pertains to them.
I want the customer to be able to go to my site, click on a link, then it asks them a question, depending on what they type in, the site will look thru my database to find the info about them, if the customer info is found, another page will load up with customer info, products they ordered, etc etc what ever. After they make changes to their information i then want what they type to save and be stored to a database.
( They pull up info thats in the database, then they add/remove something, then my database gets updated with new info from them. )
My question is i have not figured out how to make paradox do all of this, apparently its not as easy as making a form and placing it on my website and the customer will be able to see it and fill in the info on the form and it store in my database...
What is the best way for me to do this? I do not know asp very well, i can do alot with paradox but i just have not done anything on the web with paradox.
Every programmer you talk to will have a different opinion as to which language and tool you should use to do this task. ASP and PHP are easy to learn scripting languages. You'll have to use a Paradox ODBC driver to access your Paradox data. Also, you'll have to secure your server properly through a firewall so only the data you wish to surface on the web is accessible.
I have been coding in paradox only for over 2 years. I can create webpages with Adobe Flash, can use dreamweave, adobe photoshop etc etc, but programming wise have only used paradox, i can read some vb and asp code just because i have seen it so much but i cannot write it, programing wise im strickly a paradox geek.... haha
When i have made websites and etc in the past i have never had to connect the site to a database and " swap " data back and forth, so i am wanting to learn.
