jakebur01 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 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, `Jake Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47387-solved-i-need-to-use-a-language-that-works-similar-to-php-dealing-with-mysql/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragen Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 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.

utexas_pjm Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 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.
