eConnector In Action!

Simply, eConnector do not any special server software! eConnector works with any WWW server which supports PHP, Perl, ASP, MySQL or Microsoft Databases (SQL Server or MSAccess). There are 2 basic server files which must be uploaded onto web server:

1. Login Script
2. Update Script

1. Login Script

Login script lets users login! Simply, checks out whether user entered correct login and password. To learn more about login, please go to "Login Operation" section.

2. Update Script

Updates some database fields. This allows others see, search, add or messaging with others. To learn more about update, please go to "Login Operation::Updating Global Database"

Actually, eConnector is a client for this basic "Login and Update" server. We will now examine how is it working...
