Just to make sure everyone is clear: I have _no_ experience with PHP, and
therefore can't make a recommendation one way or the other. I just know that
direct access from MetaCard into any SQL-based database seems to be a big
hurdle, whereas access from MetaCard to an HTML server is easy. PHP, ASP,
ColdFusion, etc. are all designed to allow you to put an HTML front onto a
SQL database, so to me it seems like a logical thing to use them as an
intermediary. But I could be wrong.
PHP is free and open source, so it's the first thing I plan to try. But that
won't be for a few months. If any pioneers get there first, I'll be happy
to hear how it works out.
