all.<br>
I'm developing a <span>VOIP</span> application, and trying to handle
dynamic <span>IP</span> problems without using SIP.
<br>
<br>
Currently, for test purposes I have a simple <span>PHP</span> at
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.spamdel.com/ip.php">http://www.spamdel.com/ip.php</a>
<br>
which gives your current <span class="moz-txt-underscore"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>external<span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span>
<span>IP</span> address.
<br>
What I intend to do is make up a central database web page with:
<br>
user id/email adds
<br>
user <span>IP</span> (updated each time user logs on similar to above <span>PHP</span>)
<br>
etc.
<br>
<br>
each time the user starts <span>VOIP</span> it logs in to the web page
and updates 'user IP'.
<br>
<br>
This means that for the multitude of users who have an <span>IP</span>
address dynamic or otherwise, that they can be found by various search
fields, and also if their <span>IP</span> is dynamic, get updated <span>IP</span>
from the central directory.
<br>
<br>
Should I build this database using <span>mysql</span> (windows based)
or should I do it another way?
<br>
I have never used <span>mysql</span> before, but presume that fields
on the host can me defined, queried, and most likely backed up using
the hosts own backup methods.
<br>
Can I make the database secure, apart from user queries (by building
password into the software), or can the database be encrypted?
<br>
<br>
Any tips appreciated.
