[PHP] external data saving
Hi, I have one question, please. Can anybody help me with external data saving? I require to save the user data (I suppose data will be in the text format) from user (from his computer) to a database server. And I want not use ActiveX technology because it must run even under Netscape. Are there functions for work with files in Javascript? Thank you very much.

Petr: I'm not exactly clear about what you want to do, but ... PHP can process user data and save it to databases. This is probably what PHP does best. Javascript has nothing to do with this process (but you can use it in your PHP pages if you want). All I know about ActiveX is that it is a M$ technology that costs $$$ for the software involved and it is not as easy to use as PHP.

Re: [PHP] external data saving
This could be done in one of several ways: - form : what you sound like you want to do seems prettey simple - why is it not doable with a form? - file upload : this seems more like what you are looking for ... use the commands in Chapter 19 (File Uploads) of the PHP manual The advantage with a form is that you can send it straight to the database...as opposed to uploading a file, which is a lot more fiddly. You have to upload the file, recover it from the temporary area, and then resumably you are going to want to parse it - which is where the effort factor can get ugly :) More specs on what you wanted would be good.
