Hi, a friend of mine is building very dynamic html-pages with mySQL and php4. It is very easy to maintain, except for the lack of FK-constraints in mySQL :-)) he has a nice framework, some HTML-Templates, and a database containing the content. If some article has to be put up, it is simply stored as row in the DB-table. the complete navigation is done with php, and all links are built automatically...so, with a small db-tool in delphi (which I built for him) every dummy could add a new article or complete new content including new navigation-links (provided, he has db-access)- I for myself would very much like to have the FB-website put up with either php4 and FB as backend or even Delphi (isapi) and FB-DB as backend. I know, that putting an FB-server up on the sourceforge-site would be difficult, but I definitely can spare a dedicated FB-server here at my site (connected via switch with 100MBit/s to the internet), on which the php4 on sourceforge could have access to. Putting up the php4-framework is only a matter of time and money (i have to pay him, even if he is my firend, but would do it, if you like the idea). This way, the FB-website would be the best marketing for FB itself, as the site would have a small "Built with FireBird" tag :-)) P.S. I definitely hope, that the talk in this new list will be productive, and everybody is friendly to the others ;-) My 2 cents...
