it doesn't use ajaxlib but you could see how it fits in, the result
sending code is as simple as
<?php
header( Content-Type: text/xml);
echo <?xml version=β1.0β stand
alone=βyesβ?><postCode><city>
Bath</city><county>Avon</
county></postCode> ;
?>
I don't write my own raw XML but rather use the SimpleXML Class
I must admit I had a chuckle over "non visual server application in PHP"
since all PHP applications are non visual
Neven
Hi
Admittedly I don't know much about web apps but I am struggling to get
my head around the client and server separation in relation to PHP.
All the pages I have looked at focus only on web pages. Does anybody
have a link to developing a non visual server application in PHP.

I'd recommend PHP for the Server code, its so trivial i don't see you
needing an IDE (though if you
do decide you need one look at www.nusphere.com) for my first year of
PHP dev I just used an editor
Neven
Yeah, that sounds easier (less to install, distribute and
maintain). We might have a go at whipping up a sample application.
Im sure further questions are coming :)
Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions so far :)

Why not just use HTTP and encrypt the data you are sending (which
will just
be a simple string encryption like tripple DES). Same as HTTPS and
easier to
implement.
When ever I use HTTP for anything from withing Delphi, I use the
Synapse
code and its REALLY easy, better than Indy, and a far smaller code

With all the tutorials on PHP it'd be a piece of cake to do with
notepad (I
prefer crimson editor for it's nice syntax highlighting), with
https all you
need to do is include some dll files with your app (and get a ssl
certificate for your web server etc which your host could organize)

OK I have used Indy before. Haven't used https but I assume
thats pretty much just a setting. I assume I could send my csv
as compressed / Encrypted binary data.
We don't have Delphi PHP and I am not sure it is warranted for a
project this size. What would people recommend.

Rob,
Sounds like just using Indy idHttp (preferably over https) with
php would do all you need.
So you could call something like mypage.php?option=getclients
Which can return the client data as csv back to your delphi app,
just like getting a web page - advantage of that is gets around
some firewalls that block lots of ports but leave 80 open ;-)
However anyone watching the wire could see that url being
requested, and when they type it into there browser they see all
the client data as well so you can either encrypt the parameters
and decrypt them in php, or use https.
I've used similar approaches to the above for bug submissions and
customer registrations and works well.
Cheers

Hi Neven
Yes a fat client (Delphi Win 32 app) that simply needs to send
some data to a centralised web DB (Voucher sales / redemptions)
and get from a centralised web site voucher sales / redemptions
from other sites. I don't want to do direct web based DB
connection so I thought a simple web server that processed send
/ get commands would be best.
A further requirement is a web page (s) that can display
information from DB i.e. Sales info.
So the visual aspect is very low. I need to get a simple proof
of concept built (just reading / writing to a flat file) and
then will extend it to a full DB application (I was going to use
Firebird Embedded, because we know that (and have access
components) but if we are using Non Delphi technologies then I
suppose other DB types are up for grabs :) ) But thats another
conversation :)
Hope that makes it clearer.

Is this a web app? ie a browser based client? I'd use PHP and
AJAX (which is what Delphi for PHP uses) If you want "roll your
own" look at this ajax lib http://www.ajaxtoolbox.com/request/
From the way your expressing yourself (ie SOAP) I think you are
looking at a Fat client talking to a Web Server backend and
unless you have extreme graphics requirement at the client I
wouldn't bother
It would be easier to advise if we knew more
HTH
Neven
Ok. We don't have ASP.Net or PHP (I suppose we could get one
or other).
How would my Delphi app receive / send the data? SOAP?

Am I the only one thinking that this should be done in ASP.NET?
Writing some simple soap service and a reporting page is
pretty much as easy as it gets .. perfect to get your toes
wet in a newer better supported technology (who knows how
much longer intraweb will be supported).
Kind Regards,

Have you checked out the intraweb demos in the demos folder?

Hi
I am trying to put together a simple VCL for web
application. I can get a simple web page going which is
great however I would also like to provide some services
i.e.
some sort of get data and send data functionality from a
delphi client app. Is this possible or do i need to use
SOAP and create a web service app?
The situation is we want to be able to have an app then
sends a small amount of data to a web site (DB) and
receives data (perhaps large) from the web site. However
there is also a requirement for a web interface reporting
some data.
This isn't something I have much knowledge in but the VCL
for web (Intraweb) stuff looked like it would make the
web interface simple.
Suggestions?
