Hi there,

I have a client who wants us to set up a shopping cart for them. When a sale has been made, they want the information from the sale saved into Quickbooks or Act 7 which is loacted on their local PC.

I'm not sure if this is possible? Is it? If yes, how would be the best way to go about doing this?

I even had a client ask if I can insert it into MYOB...

I'm hoping it can be done with PHP...

Thanks for your help.

the server would need access to their machine's database, which isn't a good idea (security issues, among other things.) The only thing I can suggest is making the server support exporting in the data formats those applications support if they really must have this. Replication of data to a "local" server's database would probably be the best alternate route... but I prefer to keep the data centralized until usage is enough to warrant adding a secondary slave server..
