[Online hosting and offline application]

Hi all, I have a students php application that I currently host online with user access over different sections based on special permissions.

 

I would like to distribute this application on stand-alone PCs  to work offline and synchronize the data once connected to the net.

 

what is the secure way to deploy the application offline without the risk of being able to get the mysql data and thus be able to mess up the permissions bearing in mind that I have encrypted the code, so the main issue now is how to protect the mysql data. thanks

[[SOLVED] substr($num) Advice]

Hello,

 

I really need your advices and ideas about the given problem.

 

I have a field in a form dedicated to enter international format mobile numbers example 1928123456, 336123456789, 4156897526, 2010102030

 

I have a mysql tables with 3 fields:

Country - Code - Rate

 

example:

France - 336 - 5

USA - 1 - 4

 

How can I make the following code work but while reading the values from the db rather than a manual one:

 

if(substr($num,0,3)=="336") {

    $rate = "5";

}

 

else

if(substr($num,0,1)=="1") {

    $rate = "4";

}
