Please forgive my newbie-ness at Navision, and please feel free to move this post to the correct forum if I have posted it to the wrong one.
I would like to create a web page (using HTML, PHP, and js) that allows customers to perform limited searches in our Nav database, which search will result in read-only displays and/or docs. For example, our Nav currently stores docs (PDFs, etc.) that our customers want from time to time. We want our customers to get on the website, select their own company’s docs, and display/download them if they wish.
We don’t want to give customers direct access to Nav (by logging into Nav, for example), but we do want to give them access to specific docs/info, controlled by us. I’m not new to PHP, but how do I use PHP to connect to Nav?
Our Nav is 2009 and resides on a MS SQL server under Windows Server 2008 R2. Our PHP and web services reside on a LAMP server (Ubuntu).
I have scoured these forums at Dynamic Nav for quite awhile, and have found others who are looking to do similar to what I need, but most of the posts are ancient, and some of their questions aren’t answered.
Thanks,
