ryks Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 hi, i just wanted to find out if i can use a web server like wamp server and php together with mysql as an invenoty manager that will keep track of stocks, their prices and sales for a day. This will be offline. I wanted to use visual basic but am too used to php now that i will prfer building it like this. Are there any security risks?

ignace Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 there are always security risks, but i don't really understand what you are planning to do? So mysql is located on your comp? And you want to use it as a storage for an online application? Or do you mean that you are developing an entire application offline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryks Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 i am developing an entire application offline. Its for a small shop. they should be able to enter sales, check their invenotry and add new items to the inventory. So am goint to use a webserver, php and mysql instead of probably visual basic with mysql/access as the database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramli Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 if you put the application on a standalone pc it will only be vulnerable by physical tampering. however if it is on a internet connected pc you would be vulnerable to internet attacks, but that’s everyone connected to the internet so in souldent be any extra risk.
