Hi.
I'm just curious.
Has anyone played with QB as a webserver script engine ?
(probably ask 'why bother' when ASP PHP CGI already exist)
[i can only answer 'because you can without having to learn another language']
It can be quite interesting although it will never catch on probably due to site security reasons.
If you run your own webserver on your PC and interested leave a message here.
So far i have only played running a script that searches a flatform .CSV database.
Pretty crude stuff but the point is, is that it is all QB
::)

Come check out [url=http://www.freebasic.net/forum/index.php]FreeBASIC[/url]. The syntax is based on QuickBasic, but it expands to use pointers, operator overloading, etc... The list goes on and on!

Hi,
I nearly given up hope ;)
Anyways to start the ball rolling you will need a webserver package, the 1 i use is from http://www.omnicron.ca/
There are better packages around but this should run out of the box.
Another thing worth having if you have a dynamic IP address is a DNS router software package ( these are free)
http://no-ip.com
http://dynu.com
There are others but they all do the same job
Caution: Running a Web Server can leave your computer open to attacks/probes from the internet so
i guess a firewall may help. XP has its own else d/l http://zonelabs.com (free)
If i have not scared anyone yet i will post back to this thread in a few days to continue + give you time to play with the webserver package
I don't expect many people will be interested in this topic so i have started a website to act as a resource centre.
