Hi, Michal,
Set-up a PHP page that dynamically manages the database access. If the
result of the MySQL query is short, it could be passed as a GET query string
to a URL for a REBOL script. The pass could be done by one of the several
methods of redirection under PHP. If the query result is long, then the
result is written to a temporary page whose file name is unique. Then this
page's file name is passed/redirected to the REBOL script. The REBOL script
processes the results in the temporary file and then deletes temporary
file. Since occasionally searches are aborted, orphaned temporary files may
accumulate, so then you run a clean-up script once a day or week to clean
these out. I have accomplished this approach in other languages, so it
should work. But, I haven't actually set this up as a specific experiment
using REBOL.
Hope this helps.
