FWHMARIADB or PHP system

[Marc Venken]

Hello,

Reading several post, I would like to have a confirmation that I choise the right pad...

I want to make a member system for my footbal-club : http://www.kaboutersopglabbeek.be

I'm the admin of the club and I would like to get rid of exel for managing the club member data, ....
The soccer games are already in php on the site, so I can choice between php or dbf/maria

I suppose simple a dbf on a server wont work, but with maria it can be done (I see the treat of Mr. Rao, and I'm already able to connect and Xbrowse.

For further expansion (let trainers only vieuw his members, not all, ....) i can do in dbf. Maria is almost exactly the same.

Php is server side, but with Maria, I can connect to a file somewhere on my server or is it also insite the database on the server where all php database are stored ?

Marc,

I think you first have to bring order to all things. Php is not a database, nevertheless is a programming language that runs on the server. This language allows connecting databases, including for example mysql.

Another theme is your program and it has to be in windows or a web. In case it is a windows client (FWH program), you can connect to the database of the server directly, or for example through webservice that can be programmed in php. In a different way, if the program has to be a web, you should program it for example with php.

I hope it helps to clarify the scenario

Carles,

I would prefed to write for PC, with a database online, because I can do more with FWH and this forum

No each of us opens a shared exel files somewhere in google drive. With FWH I can control more.

There is also the issue of easy connecting. In the forum there is a topic just about connections.
It would be easy that I can send a handfull install files to my coaches, like the maria sample. No extra installation was needed ! Very easy.

But Maria is in devellopedment I believe.
