Hi, i don`t want the same html page for end-user and parsing, so there`re will not occur any problem later on. Best is, to use plain text to be parsed: Here an example: Server1 wants an information from Server2, lets say about new beer mats. What server1 knows is, when he queried server2 last time. So he will http request the document: http://server2/data.php?command=showNewBeerMats&date=20020701 server2 answers with plain text: PHPBDDB START Foster||Australien Beer||345423.jpg||20020705||This is the comment|0 Anheuser||Import Beer||test.jpg||20020502||Here is the commen||Testserie PHPBDDB END If you know in which order information are provided you can fetch them to an array and insert them to your database at server1 >I agree that most firewalls and etc. require special configuration to >access server on any SQL port.

This >would cause more traffic than client-server solution but as it was >mentioned before web servers are made for that. Yeah, but this could not be done with PHP only. >I took a look at CVS and I noticed *.inc files. I suggest that we could >better use something like *_inc.php because *.inc files require special >treatment. If no configuration is done to web server they are shown in >plaintext. I have seen folks get hacked because of this.;) You`re right, we will fix this with the code rewrite. >I am kind of new to CVS. I have worked w different systems but CVS is >something I want to learn. Does anyone knows a good place to start with? Well i hope you are using WinCVS or any other GUI. You will find some docs at SF Documentation, or refer to the WinCVS Help Docs. I think it is http://www.cvsgui.org . Brian |
