Get object

[johnnier]

Hi!

I've been offered to make an app for a construction company that includes a concept of online login and a basket of objects that you add to an online "wishing list".
People have told me that I need to learn about the get object in order to do this.. Though I'm not sure about how to do this.. In eight hours I have promised to answer the construction company whether this is possible or not.. Could someone please post a link with a guide(if there is any) or explain how to do this??

Thanks

John

Its certainly possible, but to be honest i think you're jumping in the deep end if you haven't touched PHP or the GET object before.
Hopefully somebody whos experienced in the matter can help.

Thanks for being honest but I would at least try and see how complicated it might be..

Hi Johnnier. What they want doesn't sound very hard to do, but you must know how to write a webserver such as Php or Asp.Net. The logic would happen on the server, and the Get object's purpose is to communicate with the server.

Online highscore examples are pretty much the kind of examples you'll find regarding MMF2 and Get, and Jeff have written a very good one: http://www.flyinvinteractive.com/onl...res_readme.pdf
It should give you some insight into what you're dealing with here. I also recommend learning about Php (if that's your choice of environment) on sites dedicated to Php.

If this is a big contract and you have no experience in PHP and/or GET then this could end up a struggle for you. I can't add anymore to Popcorn's post really, it's spot on. You need to know how SQL/PHP work serverside and use GET for the clientside link. If purchasing is also involved, you will need to learn more about SSL/Encryption and obfuscating data sent to/from the server too.
