LiveCode Forums.

Hey everyone.

So, for the app I'm making, I want to store info about a user to a centralised place. For example, if the user puts in their email and state, I want to have the ability to see what state they're from and send them specific emails based on that. I've got an idea for the second part, but it's the first part I'm not sure how to do. What would you guys suggest? My idea is to upload a text file with the information to dropbox, but I'm not sure how to do it, or if it can be done. I also saw about Livecode servers, but haven't had a chance to look at it enough to know if it can be used for that. Do you guys have any recommendations? The information will just be some strings of text, so nothing major . If it makes a difference, it's going to be for Android phones .

Edit: Also, the way I've got it now is using revMail. The issue with that is I don't want the user to have to send me an email every time they update their information, so if there's something that can make it easier, that would be appreciated

Hi,

I recommend using a web server (not necessarily RevServer) and PHP. With some simple LiveCode scripts and a slightly more complex PHP script, you can store the data in a MySQL database. The big advantage of this is that you will be able to extract exactly the data you need for your mailings.

I'd be happy to help with this if you send me an e-mail off-list.

Kind regards,

Mark

Shall send you an email

Edit: Once I figure out how...

Well, I certainly do feel blind now ! Sending it across
