I'm feeling a bit clueless here.
Can LiveCode interact with server side scripts like php/mysql?
How do I upload LiveCode files to a server? Or . . . ?
LiveCode looks like it simply creates lots of individual pages. What if I want to access content from a mysql (or other) database and insert it into a template page? Can I do this with LiveCode?
Can I use LiveCode to enter data into a database to be retrieved and used as web page content?
Is LiveCode simply an html/javascript GUI?
What is it?
Confused???

Re: Interacting with server side scripts
The simple answer is yes.
Livecode can talk across the internet to server side systems like PHP and MySQL.
I have written a basic Tutorial on the subject which is Here
Livecode is an application/programming language - you can create desktop and mobile applications with it - they are not 'webapps' though. They do not run Javascript or show HTML by default. You are actually creating a separate program - be it for business, games or education - your choice.
To see some examples take a look at Livecode 1001. (Disclaimer: HexThello is my iPad game!
)
Hope that helps,
Dave

Re: Interacting with server side scripts
Great. Yes, that does explain it. Someone mentioned it in relation to html5 which made me think it generated web applications.
I will look at it with a different eye.
Incidentally, I just looked at your primer. Excellent, good work!
Your primer was very helpful in explaining to me what LiveCode is about.
At this point, the code makes little sense, but I suppose it just requires more digging. It doesn't look a lot like plain English as LiveCode suggests.
Thanks,
