Hi Folks,
A friend asked me something about developing a management program for his
store (a small one but with two computers). He need to track the sales and
print bills for customers on both computers. I wonder whether it can be done
using mysql and php or perl in mandrake (I myself don't have any such
experience). Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Bests,
Q.H.
I built a couple of systems like you mention. Basically I used perl/cgi,
mysql postfix.
I have a web layer which is a mixture of static html templates which are
merged at runtime with the Db content. The web layer drives the
perl/cgi which interacts with the Db, triggering email/prints/invoices etc.
so...
Web | cgi/perl | mysql
|
postfix
Authentication can be driven by auth_mysql in apache so users can update
there own passwords and you can provide groups etc. Use the http.consf
files and .htaccess to provide group security to scripts etc.
I am sure you can do all this in php or any other language, but thats
what make programming so much fun eh!
