Re: [REBOL] Re: Rebol vs PHP

Hello, Graham,
I've emailed Dan at REBOL about an eval version. Haven't heard back yet,
but hopefully I will soon.
Sounds like ODBC over the network will work, which is a major problem with
using PHP for this project. Hopefully everything will work nicely.
Thanks for your help,
Justin

Examples are given in the manual that comes with Command :-)

Submit a business reason to [bo--rebol--com] and he may send you
the eval version.
I used the eval version accessing ODBC across a network and
found no problems.
However, there were major problems with ODBC and the
database I was using - Interbase. You would have to check
with RT how compatible it would be with Access. But I was
able to use Rebol/command to spider a suppliers password
protected website, grab pricing information, and insert the
data back into my web server which I thought was pretty neat
( and pointless as I can just ask for a price list :-) )
