Using PHP and VB together

[smore]

Hi guys and gals. i'm kinda new here hence this is my first post. well i'm developing a tax management software and i want to use Visual Basic as the front end, PHP as the Middle End and MySQL database as the backend. i want to know if this is possible. I'm trying to do this because, i want to use Crystal Reports to generate all my reports and i don't know how to use only PHP with Crystal Report.

So can anyone tell me if my combination (Visual Basic as the front end, PHP as the Middle End and MySQL database as the backend) is feasible.

Thx.

Would be very easy, using GET.

Let's say you wanted to input my taxes. My name is "Michael", and next years return is "$800". Keeping it simple, this would be the insert script to work with:

// sql

(mysql connections here)

// get vars

$name = $_GET['name'];
$return = $_GET['return'];

// insert

mysql_query("INSERT INTO taxes(name, return) VALUES('$name', '$return');

I have forgot most of my VB6 knowledge, so mind my incorrect coding:

Private Sub click_button(SEND TAXES)

name = txtNAME
return = txtRETURN
Inet1.Execute("http://site.com/script.php?name=" &name& "&return=" &return")

Something like that. You get it.

Why not have VB interact directly with the MySQL database? You can use an OBDC connection!
