Actinic & php & mysql

[inkjet]

Does anyone know of a way to getting actinic to work with php to create a user account and then access that user account while still being online. We would like to do a mysql db to hold the accounts, i can build a script to collect the accounts but the problem lies with the customer login, how would i possibly get actinic to read the customers data from the mysql db. It is data such as name, address, etc.. It would make it nicer for our customers that repeat shop.

You could write a module to work with your automation mole - any exe/script can be run from it - it could connect to the mySQL db (you can use ODBC to do this from the pc) and create the appropriate entries in the Actinic tables. Then the automation mole could upload Actinic which you get the accounts online. Be careful though because if you get the table content wrong you could mess up Actinic.

Hi there

Be careful though because if you get the table content wrong you could mess up Actinic.

In addition to what Jan had written, i would say always backup actiniccatalog.mdb and simpleshipping.mdb before you do any custom work

Kind Regards
