I would use MySQL (or Postgre) and PHP on the server. Of course that

presumes that you're on a server that you have access/control of and can

install MySQL + PHP (or use a company that provides such services.)

Also, there's going to be a slight difference depending on whether the

server is Windoze or Linux...my preference is Linux. I'm guessing that

if you've been running FoxWeb, you're on a Windows server (and PHP will

install and run on a Windows box.)

Anyway, PHP is not that hard to learn and way powerful, very well

supported.

I'm sure others on the list would recommend Python, and I would join

them in that recommendation, but I have no experience (yet) with Python.

Regardless of where you go and what you do, moving away from the DBF

file storage is a wise decision.
