mysql add records

[phpstart]

hi.

i have a visual c++ aplication, this aplication creates new information that should be added to the mysql DB in my php web site.

To send the data i open a ftp session, but how can i add the data to the database?

thanks

There's a few different ways as I see it.

1) give your c++ application direct access to the database, which you probably don't want.

2) Have the c++ write a data file to be later parsed by a php script to insert the data and then move the data file out of the way to make way for a new one. You then can schedule / cron the php script to execute periodically.

3) Optionally, if you want it more real time solution, you can write a daemon in php that listens on a socket (yes, I've done it, and it works great), and then have your c++ app connect to you php daemon, transfer the data, which then gets put it in the database.
