    Management Suite - Using VB with PHP

    Hi

    I have an online application coded in PHP that manages sales/orders for a site I maintain and I have been asked to develop an application for use on dedicated PC/Laptops that is essentially the website but has a more user friendly interface. What is the best way to start this and integrate it with a VB application?

    You modify the application in such a way that you can choose the format of the data it emits. It should be capable to emit XML in addition to HTML, in a way that just conveys the actual interesting information.

    Then you write a VB application that sends HTTP requests to fetch the XML and use it in the application. You use HTTP POST requests to perform actions.
