Hello,

I plan to develop a cross-platform web application that should at least run under Windows and Linux.

Delphi 6 has some nice components (TWebModule in particular) that make it easy to create web applications.

However, if I have Delphi 6, can I use the supplied units source code to compile it under Linux using FPC?

And, can I use FreePascal to make commercial programs?

Thanks,
Udo

Getting it to compile will be the hard part.

I'd evaluate Kylix first. Not to put down FPC, but simply because it probably has more likelyhood of compiling those components under Linux. Try the free version, if it works, you could create a shared object, release it under the LGPL and link to fpc code (maybe?) I wonder how Borland would take that ;-)

Not good, because you're only allowed to make GPL programs/code with Kylix, not LGPL or anything else (except for pure personal use I suppose)

You're talking about Kylix Open Edition, right?

Yes, since it was about the free version of Kylix

Hello guys,

I am trying to escape a string to add to a mysql table - yet with no success. Any nice guy want to share some code that is working and does the job?

I am trying the "mysql_escape_string" function in the mysql.pp unit...

Michael? Any help, please? I am trying to find the source you've once sent me for this project we worked on (2+ years ago) but I can't find it...
