[SOLVED] I need to use a language that works similar to PHP. Dealing with MySQL.

Hello,

 

I just got visual studios 2005 professional edition. I am going to learn to to build a program with it for my user so he can manipulate data in a MySQL database that is located across the country. I have been studying PHP and now I am just now getting into these other languages.

 

Is visual basic the right program for what I am trying to do? I heard that C# is what most people are using now days. I just want to spend my time learning the right language. Also, is this very doable to have build a program that will connect to a MySQL database located in an entire different location?

 

Thanks,

why not just create a php login system that's placed on the internet.

Then your client can log in access the database and log out again afterwards.

I'd suggest trying Java.  It's free and it will run on any O/S with a JVM installed.  Connecting to a MySQL database is also relatively painless.

 

Best,
