So, i should set up a personal panel for a client how let it to insert news on his site (all flash based).
I have done the job with php and then had discover how his hosting don't support the language! It's a windows based server.So, i'm really sure how Mysql it's working on his space but i'm really dumb with this language.
Someone can suggest me a simple good tutorial or have a source to done the job?!!
A simple guestbook flash-Mysql based source should be ok, i will decompose it to done the job ;)
Thanks in advance,

His host doesn't support php?
Well, that means you're either going to have to convert all your work to asp instead, or you have to get them to install php on the server (which takes all of 2 minutes, I've done it before).
You can't get flash to interact directly with SQL

His hostin provider it's shit.
i'll go for ASP!

database connections in asp/ado are pretty easy. .NET is even easier, if the server supports it.
go here;
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/we…it shows how to connect to an access DB, but it's not that different then SQL.
or you could grab the book ASP.NET unleashed.

off topic...i've partied on rolla's campus a lot.
i went to school in sprinfield, mo and every st. patty's day we would trek up to umr's massive week long binge.
good times.
they used to call us architecture majors "arts and crafts" students...since drury was a 'design' related major and umr is 'engineering' based.
a bit of missouri triva...if you're interested.

server seems to read phh but don't allow to write on files. Can't set chmod 777.
so i don't know if can be possible to write on files with other languages...asp, pearl, etc ect

maybe you need to contact the host and let them know what you are trying to do. sometimes they have to enable that feature
- tenpointtwo0
You might want to think about telling your client that his host isn't set up for the type of site he wants. Pass the headache to someone who's job it is to deal with it. It's not your responsibility to make sure his host can handle what he wants for a site.
Be stubborn. Tell him to straighten it out.

yeah, but also one of the first things you have to know is what type of server your client is runing. You cant create a site all in PHP and then tell your client to change their server because you forgot to ask.

can you croos domain the php querys. kepp the site on his bollocks host and run the php on an enabled server?
almost the same as spiralstarez says without moving all the files and domain name
- SadisticJay0
I have had to do what System-Idle is suggesting on a few occassions.
- fusionpixel0
change servers might be the only sulution. or host the scripts that need execution in a different server.

#1 my technical advice for a host that doesn-t support php is the folowing: fuck them.
#2 php is the 'middleman' between you flash app. and your mysql database. All queries, xml outputs will bve done by it.
#3 here's a good start to that wonderful, wonderful world.
