PHP is a server sided language, so its not needed on the client. With PHP you could write the application so it stremed the html and javascripts to the client's browser. If MySQL was also running on the server, PHP could access it as localhost. If you use VFP on the client side, VFP could access MySQL over TCP/IP, either directly or using ODBC, etc. >Or lets say they go linux whole hog. >In the old days, you did networking with digiboard multiport boards. >Does linux handle networking now using ethernet cards ?
