[phpBddb-dev1] Re: dbase design

[Brian <br...@br...>]

Hope you had a nice weekend!

Well i agree,  that client to client application are hard to create with 
PHP only.
This is not what i want.
I prefer the single server solution, but everyone can set up the 'phpBddb' 
server due this is open source.
There are serveral interested websites, dealing with the subject beer mats.
Let's say just two of them and i set up a server. Then i want be sure, that 
they update each other.
This could be done by PHP.

Therefore every server needs websites, which are maschine readable, like 
CSV tables. This pages could be fetched by another server manually, or 
automatically by cronjob.

But as you said, our first goal must be the single point solution.


Did you configured your CVS client that you can do changes to the code? I 
tried to tidy up a bit.
Do you thing it is better to start new code, or doing changes to my test code?
