Hi, Dave_L: So it seems to me that importing parts of our existing membership database to the mysql on my site wouldn't be a big deal.
But what would the main elements of checking a registrant name and one or two others pieces of info against that database be?
I haven't written any code in perl or php myself, but I imagine I could come up with a member who has...would that be the main thing? Or would it just be some kind of fancy database inquiry (which I also haven't done)...by the way, we have threads on a shared infopop server.
Would appreciate some notion of what it would take, in case it turns out we need to do this!
Thanks - Tony
PS in past years I HAVE written a fair amount of code (though not in the type of languages we're talking about here).
