Hi<br>
<br>
I developed a Delphi web service (SOAP based) and delphi clients. This
worked fine but has the disadvantage of only running on Windows web
servers. This was of course the requirement for the next web job we
had. This time I used PHP for the web service and passed the data as
XML. I developed a system that can be used again and again for any web
site DB and table structure, however if I had not done this the task
would have been very simple. I would strongly recommend using PHP for
the web side of your service and then just use standard Delpi / indy
for the client side. It works well, is portable and fast. There are
lots of PHP examples on the web you can use. <br>
<br>
Hope that helps :)<br>
