Only a very brave person will start a new web application in Delphi! Use
ASP.NET or even PHP. Either of these two will provide you with web services
capabilities that you can call from your Delphi client.

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?

I'm on VISTA and cant access C:\Documents and Settings directly. I have
tried UserName\Documents\Rad Studio but no demo dir there either. I
suspect we should investigate ASP.Net or PHP.
Any other suggestions? This is part of a larger much larger project and
needs to be pretty quick and simp

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
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

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
f
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.

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)

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
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 :)

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

Hi all, I have an image in a TBitmap, can't work out how to store it
(probably retrieve it as well...) in an SQL Server 2000 Image field. Any
ideas?

You use LoadFromStream and SaveToStream on the Bitmap class.
On the database size reading is easy - as you will get a blob field -
which has a SaveToStream method.
You prob need to translate the stream, or use a TStringStream, as then
can read it from the image and save to a blob field or a param
