Can Delphi work woth BV

[Rob (SA)]

Hi folks ,

In not knowing much about programing I have found software that could solve many of my problems.

DELPHI

1.Can one use this programing in Bluevoda?
2.Can one get this software free and not on trail downloads?

Any good links relating to this software would help enormously

If its the Delphi im thinking NO its not free.. you could use it with blue voda however, its basically a script editor for connecting to databases and customizing the out put...its a BUILDER itself.. you would have to copy and past all its code to into html.. and probably do some editing..but i suppose you could make it work to some extent, but .. not as its intended to.

Re: Can Delphi work with BV

Hi Karin,

Seems like youre the only one awake - smile.

Thanks for the reply.

I want to write a program that will work looking similar to the microsoft popups that can be activated within BV.

Delphi allows me to build popups but does require extensive knowledge.

Maybe there is a quiker easier way? HELP

Re: Can Delphi work woth BV

You can make popups in bv.. just make a link and change it to open in a pop up and make whatever page you want appear in that pop up.

Hi Karin,

Thats perfect as you say and a good idea.

It will howver then only work with BV and while I am logged onto the net.

I would like it to be stand alone - meaning run on my local/ or a local computer and if required then take dat from that program to the database.

Ok.. on my second cup of coffee here. I dont even want to think about the convulusions that occur here...not to be rude but wtf do you want a pop up on your computer that can connect to your database? And if you are trying to create this so OTHERS can connect to your database.. you are really opening a can of worms.

Nevermind I dont want to know...lol carry on!

Hi Karin,

I want to make a program available on the web that can be used at different venues - under a password that is specific to each event.

the scores and mebership details will be stored on my database.

I know you said you didnt want to know - apologies.

Hence my original thought to develop it in Delphi and thus connect it to BV and my Database.

I make thjings so complicated - there must be an alternative

Re: Can Delphi work woth BV

Well.. I know how to create a switchboard in Access that allows users on a network to update a database.. im sure the same can be affected in php scripting and mysql .. however.. Naval or Watdaflip would have to instruct you there..cuz.. i know just enough php to get me in trouble most of the time. Basically you need a simple form to update the database fields and a script that writes to the database from this form.. then you need this script to dynamically generate an updated page to your website.

Naval or watdaflip can fix this up for you.. but not for free... cheaper im sure than buying the whole program

Contact one of them.

Re: Can Delphi work woth BV

Hi Karin,

Persistance pays off

As you know something about php.

I have 5 files that need to be ammended and yes one is a register.php

The first file has :

<?php
session_start();
$dbhost = "localhost"; // this will ususally be 'localhost', but can sometimes differ
$dbname = "users"; // the name of the database that you are going to use for this project
$dbuser = "root"; // the username that you created, or were given, to access your database
$dbpass = "7trky17u"; // the password that you created, or were given, to access your database
mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die("MySQL Error: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("MySQL Error: " . mysql_error());
?>
Whilst it is all pretty self explanitory It requires help from people like you to me - Please

What do i change

[Karen Mac]

Re: Can Delphi work woth BV

After you have created your database as i explained in the first post.. and made your user name and password.. you change the

dbname=database you created accountname_database
dbuser=accountname_user
dbpass=password you created for that user

Just like it says right there..

you are just reading TOO much into it.
