what is the best language for development on-line sale in a physcial shop...
I would like to raise an interesting arguement


what is the best language for development on-line sale in a physcial electronic compoent shop...

The shop has already web server, people in the internet can browse the component.

But I was unable to see their on line sale screen to determine what kind of lanaguage being applied to write "on-line sales program" that do searching, printing the invoice from sales and also inventory keeping.

suppose their web server is running with linux, php+mysql. what is the best language to develop a on-line sale program.

can VB read the mysql data table?????

Perl, Python, both of those are capable of doing such a task. Something I have recently got into is XUL, and used with PERL
or Python or any other language you build componets for will create your chrome or client side GUI. Java, is another one. C, and more - the list of capable languages goes on and on......

this sales invoicing does not has to be web based.

In fact what other language will also work with mysql in non-web pages basis?

Some one said dephi is a VB killer. Kylix is a linux version of Dephi?

Yes, Delphi - another able one -> very able in what you are looking for. As for interacting with MySQL, again, a number of languages can do this....

As for not being web based as you mentioned, my first reply was not intended for web based projects. All the languages I listed in my first reply can be used to create standalone client side applications...

Well you have a lot of choices, but first get your requirements clear

If this is going to run via the web (you say online so I assume so), then you will need a standard web service architecture: database and scripting language. Steer clear of delphi and vb, these are IMHO not the right tool for the job when it comes to web services. Actually the thought of a web service developed with delphi or vb makes me shudder

If you're going with a mysql backend (postgres is so much cooler) I'd suggest using PHP as your scripting language, because it is easy, flexible, robust and you mention your ?client? is already running it. Don't make your life difficult take the easy option
