Aki, here's the interesting part, you can save and output XML to and from mysql! I can't think of any reason one would want to do that, but that didn't stop MySQL AB in having it in 5.1<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/xml-functions.html> On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 11:31 AM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

TI used javascript because that is what i know and that is just piece of the code, I have database declarations and captured the inputs of which are not entered into the database, I think the big issue is how do i capture users entering data that is bound to be calculated at a standard rate eg users to enter first milleage reading then last milleage reading , javascript or any other to get the diffrence and then multiply by the rate to get what he or she is supposed to be payed/pay
Thanks again so much for your response
@Calvin, lemme sharing an insight with you and HTHs. 3 months ago, when drawing out the workflow and code for the Mbytemeter program, I ran into issues with about saving data. I had the options of using a SQL lite Db, CSV or Excel file. The main problem I had was to store and retrieve the data in an organized manner i.e each cell to correspond with the data stored so that this data can be retrieved by calls to that cell. So for example : In Mybtemeter, it has an option to save Telco profiles. These profiles contain data : Name , APN Value, UserName, Password and DUN Number. When the program launches ( form load event ) it would populate a Drop Down Box with the stored profiles ( using a query ). Then the other issue was, how small and open was my program? Thus, I set out on XML and I think it was a good decision. I think XML is amazing. ( and the journey continues )
