I first used PHP over 15 years ago. If I ever would use PHP again, I would do so in unison with Hiawatha as a web server. :)
Well that's a plus! Is that Sather's default "hook" into the nether world of databases, or is there another more "native" approach?How about a SQL module of some sort - mysql; postgress; sqlite3??Yes! David W. Simons wrote something called pgsaql, an interface to PostgreSQL. Years ago. I've been using it ever since. There are recently-added libpg query and other functions not included. It makes a connection and does PQexec(), whose argument is an SQL query string, but (from memory) not PQexecParams() which takes typed arguments.
Is there a repository somewhere?Dunno. He offered it as new classes for the GNU Sather library but the maintainer at the time didn't take it up. (Not for any good reason - there's nothing wrong with it.) May be now in the contribs file at ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/sather though I haven't checked it yet. Give me a week or two (don't tie me down!) and I'll put a version of Sather there that has a Contribs directory with pgsaql in it. It or an update will eventually be Sather library classes.
What you refer to as "the GNU Sather library" is what I meant by "a repository". Is this library available "online", or is it simply a part of the Sather language package?
Thanks for the info. No pressure here! I'm test-driving and working through the docs.
