Web based application

[Jose Lerebours]

Well, I see we still play hard ball in the list!  ;-)

I said I like it, not that I would pursuit it.  I think that the time and
effort that would take to savage an application written in filePro would be
better invested in a more robust technology.  If you are going to use
filePro, use it for what it has to offer, not because what you wish it did
or what you hope it did.

This particular application, I use PHP + MySQL.  I am not using any
framework thus avoiding having to deal with hacks, vulnerability,
deprecated code, bloated code, etc.  Not going any where so not under time
pressure ... Do not care much for the point, click, drag and drop solutions
where nothing ever tides up as it should, and end up with a super large
script to handle 3 or 4 input fields.

Custom UDFs, Classes, CSS, HTML and some good old fashion JS is all it
takes ...
