Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

Thanks Simon. This will likely do what I need. But I'd really like to know how to do this with lcserver. That's the point, right? Not to have to rely on PHP? :-) What's the LC equivalent of what readfile() is doing below? Thanks & Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI

Re: Delivering Files with lcServer ?

Hi Scott I have done something similar in php before, where a page loads, and then the file starts downloading a few seconds later, without leaving the main page. The main page contains a refresh tag that loads the script that starts the download: and then the sendfile.php consists of: Hope

Re: MS SQL

Just a heads up, remember that SQL servers have a timeout on connections, so when you open a database, remember to close it after you are done. If it has been idle for any length of time, Livecode still thinks it is open, but the SQL server has probably terminated the connection. This has reso

Re: Really basic SQLite questions

My experience with SQL is that there is a timeout if a connection has been idle for a certain period of time. Perhaps this is not a problem with sqLite, but as a matter of good development habits, get all the info you need from the user BEFORE opening the connection, so that there is no chance o

Hi James, I'd leave them open until you quit the app. You might also think about using the ATTACH command for the second and subsequent connections so they'll all be open on the same connection.

1's easy, so I'll answer that: sqlite is a text file that is formatted so that it can be treated like a regular db. So open when you start and close when you're done. I have had numerous cases on mobile where the app does not get to close the db before it crashes for whatever reason with no ill e
