Question about flash and a database
Hello, I'm creating my own website in Flash. It's working well but I would like to make a member system in flash and put it in a database so it's stored safely. I'm kinda lost with all the options I can take like Mysql XML PHP and I can't choose which one is the best. Has any of you made a website in Flash and made a member system what stored stuff in a database? Thanks in advance, Jeroen. |

Mysql XML PHP is really just one option, not three. You use MySQL as an RDBMS, XML as an interchange language and PHP as a server side scripting language. Alternatives would be using a different RDBMS, e.g. postgresql, using a different interchange language, e.g. JSON, or a different server side scripting language, e.g. Ruby (on Rails) or Java EE. For a beginner going with mysql, xml and php is most often the easiest. Just keep in mind that handling login credentials is serious business. Always hash and salt your passwords, never store any risky information unencrypted, and don't validate passwords client-side. It will take some time and reading to know how to do things properly. But don't skip the security lessons or you'll end up endangering your users. (welkom trouwens)  |

Thank you for your help. This really helps me  I want to make websites in the future and I would like to know what the best way is that I could learn, so that I can make profit of it later and I can use it then. Should I learn Mysql XML and php or is there something else? Thanks in advance, Jeroen. Last edited by JeroenGFX : 08-06-2009 at 11:08. |

I'd recommend keeping your posts in English, in order not to tick off the non-dutch speaking part of the forum. Also this discussion might be helpful for people with the same questions that stumble upon this topic through Google. To answer your question: MySQL, XML and PHP are the most commonly used tools for this sort of thing. Learning those skills will come in handy for lots of projects. For some introductory lessons I recommend checking out W3Schools Online Web Tutorials they have some handy free introductions for SQL, XML and PHP |
