Re: Database access through PHP?
Geoff, We use MetaCard as a custom application browser to talk to a set of FMPro databases through Lasso. It works fine once you figure out all the http call formats for Lasso/FMP.

Date: Wed, Jun 28, 2000, 6:39 PM I'm just curious if anyone has experimented with using web-database access tools, such as PHP, Lasso, ColdFusion, ASP, etc., in order to set up database access for a MetaCard client?

RE: Cutting and Pasting from One Field to Another

Import paint file
I am trying to dynamically in script import a paint file into a card in a substack of my mainstack. However the image only comes into my mainstack. Any suggestions on how to point the import to the substack card and accomplish my goal? TIA, Mark Lacy LetterPress Software, Inc.

Building apps for other platforms
If I use my Mac to build a Linux app or a Windows app, do I need to set the stack's "look and feel" to the target platform before I do the build, or will the engine do that automatically for me? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay| [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Custom hypermedia solutions | http://www.hyperactivesw.com 612.724.1596 | 612.724.1562 - fax Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.

Not at this time but i have planed to work on this in september and it's sure that PHP will be the simplest tool, if you need to use an MC applications server to parse MySQL, PostGreSQL or Oracle databases to the web. For yet, i use only PHP3 as an MC TCP/IP sockets listener. Ask for the PHP script privatly if interested ;-) Best Regards, Pierre Sahores CRDP de l'academie de Creteil WEB, DB, ASP, VPN, B2B design Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.

Re: Compress and decompress

But MetaCard says that is just contains 3 chars: charToNum 31,139 and 8. OK, now I try to copy the compressed string to this e-mail: ã Weird, isn't it? Why does this happen? Is one of these chars delete or something? Compressed data is binary - so you can't display it in a field. That explains the strange behaviour you have been seeing. You need to convert it to text if you want to copy, display or save it as text. To do that, use the base64encode function (then use base64decode and decompress to access the data again). If you're using the Starter Kit, you can also shorten this to just one line for compress/encode and one for decompress/decode like this: put base64Encode(compress(the text of fld "whatever")) into tCompressedData put decompress(base64decode(tCompressedData)) Regards, Kevin Thanks for any suggestions in advance, Sjoerd Kevin Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xworlds.com/ Cross Worlds Computing, MetaCard Distributors, Custom Development.

RE: Cutting and Pasting from One Field to Another
I have to say that I have also had this problem. I would copy from a word processor doc, and try to paste it into MC, but without success. I discovered that part of the problem one time was that I had installed the menu bar (which traps copy and paste commands without allowing them to pass). When I edited the menu so that cut and paste had the appropriate commands assigned in the menuButton, things got better. But there was one time I had not installed the menubar, and I still had trouble. I never found out what caused that one.

Also note that you could simplify this whole process using a URL:
put recuperation(cartes) into url ("file:" laSortie)
I will try this :-)
put bg fld "letitre" sep1 bg fld "letexte" sep2 after larecup
end repeat
I think you're missing a "return larecup" here...
Ahem! you are right (I am ashamed ;-))
That works :-)
Another question: is it possible to write the "recuperation" handler as a
property?
If yes, how to invoke it?
