yousefmohseni Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hi, Im a new member here, and an amateur PHP programmer. Im currently working on a project which I need some help from you on to let me know the best way of going about things. Ive currently got my website working on my personal server. I have a service running on a different server which has a Paradox database, client machines connect to that server and edit the database. I would like to essentially create a WEB Client in PHP to do the same functionality but in any web browser. The best way that I can come up with so far, is to run a web server on the server with the Paradox Database which is limited to allow connection from only certain IPs for security, and host there a number of PHP scripts, which can be executed from remote machines using other php scripts. Though I am quite new to PHP scripting, I have setup the server and have created the scripts to access and manipulate the Paradox database using an ODBC, and then also to calculate the return result. Where I am getting stuck is: How do I get all this to run remotely? I need to be able to send Variables to the server machine scripts, let it execute the script on those parameters and return to me a result. Can someone explain to me, or give me some example code on how to have Script A send some variables to Script B which then calculates a result and returns the result to Script A. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
