Can PHP and pureBasic communicate through port 80?
Posted: Tue May 11, 2004 10:40 am
I explain better my question.
My company wants to make available through internet to his distributors the disponibility, the prices and other few things of our database.
The normal way is to make a web server but I don't like this way because a Windows web server is very dangerous to administrate for security (it needs continuous updates and a really expert for security) and is also expensive.
I ask you if it's possible to do a tunnel through port 80 that pass our LAN firewall. The purpose of this tunnel is to communicate with our website located on a internet server outside from our LAN.
When a distributor wants to know the disponibility or to reserve a product he communicates with our web site located in Internet. Our website contains PHP functions that communicates through port 80 to a purebasic program running on the server of our LAN.
It's like the idea behind the SOAP but made in pureBasic.
I know how to connect to our database using pureBasic.
I know how to scan continuously a computer port for a comunication in PureBasic.
I don't know how to realize a communication from a PHP program and a Purebasic that acts like a server on a machine located in a LAN where there is a firewall and the only way to go in or out is the port 80 (the security is guaranteeed)
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.
