- dunhate, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1What if I want to use either only Spry or PHP/MySQL? I'm a noob to both. My site is basically a simple apartment rental listing site with records could be as many as 1000 but with no more than 10 short properties on each record. I don't care much about someone downloading the data or the search engines not seeing my "results" pages.
I have successfully got it working with Spry. I wrote some basic javascript with if statements to filter out some rows from being displayed. But I still don't know if there are built-in ways to do things like keyword search or adding entry with Spry.
But now I am seriously considering if PHP/MySQL would've been a better and reliable choice. Not that I'm an expert but doing queries seem somewhat easier this way.
Also, my audience is mostly using dial up connections (max 40Kbps) and I am wondering how these two methods send data. Although AJAX is asynchronous, Spry is client side so it will still send the entire XML data file on page load or when accessed? But maybe I can keep it in the cache during the session for later? And PHP/MySQL will send only the queried results? But that means it sends different data for each search? Also, SPRY has nearly 200KB for its script files. So will that slow down the page loading because those scripts will be needed to show the contents on the page?
I'm sorry I used some laymen terms. Thanks in advanced. - inovice, on 05/22/2008, -0/+0Thanks for link. I`ve searched it for a long time.
