Subject: Re: [mSQL] Opinions? Best msql web interface

Just to throw out my 2-cents worth...

I see no problems with using W3-mSQL. It's simpler and more
straightforward. Combining it with server side Java, perl, or Java
code and client side Javascript, it will handle most anything you
need.

I'm currently experimenting with writing Javascript using W3-mSQL so
that I can embed mSQL field values into JavaScript variables. If I
can do that then I can pass these to Java applets...

Can PHP/FI do this easily? W3-mSQl is about as straight forward as
you can get. PHP/FI appears rather daunting for doing the above.

PHP/FI, however (got to set the context straight), is ideal for
working with thin clients where you may ned to centralize the
application processing to the server vice having a slow client running
it...

At any rate, you probably can't lose with either. I just get tired of
hearing about one-sided solutions. Formost, W3-mSQL would probably
suffice.
