hi all,
I have been blessed with the task of writing a web based database
representing the state of our globally installed isam databases.
there are basically four steps in setting this up:
1) schedule isam file reports to run at all remote sites. this
generates a text file describing the current state of tables (files) in
the database.
2) schedule an ftp job to pick up these text reports and dump them on a
central server
3) parse the reports and write the information to a mysql database
4) front end web based gui. make the information available (reports,
alerts, etc.)
Our company wants to use PHP for the front end GUI. Not having had much
experience with PHP it seems to me that the way to do the above would
be to do steps 1, 2 and 3 with Shell / Perl scripting (Perl being
designed for text file manipulation) and then to use PHP to provide the
GUI.
Anyone's thoughts and / or input on this matter would be much
appreciated.
cheers!
eddiec :-)
