Heya Steve ...
Absolutely, but its not a trivial solution.
Instead, most ppl use odbc, even odbc across the internet.
[now the other bits]
For mySql, there is is a library that a lot of C, C++ developers use and
'bind to it' in their apps.
For MS-SQL, there is also a C, C++ library that binds to a MS-SQL instance.
For either and both, it's at a lower level than odbc.
Most ppl that choose to go this route do so for SPEED, as its supposed to
be the fastest way to do things outside of (what I consider to be) normal
odbc usage.
Moving sideways, if you HAVE to include php in the solution, you can spawn
off a php instance from vfp either calling the php parser directly from
vfp
ie - php filename.php , where you've built the script moments ago
dynamically in vfp with a scan..endscan construct
or you can INVOKE a php script that lives on a LAMP/WAMP server from VFP
via a http call (vfp->http->[server]->L/WAMP->php )
hth - regards [Bill]
ps - as others have said - the binding between php and mySql is tighter
and at a lower level than an odbc connection. Perl binds in a similar
fashion.
If you want to play with a WAMP set - look at and install the beastie from
FoxServ.net - its a fully contained installation package for WAMP that
runs straight on yer machine without any nasty code compiles or even much
manual configuration.
