Thoughts? Let me re-phrase your question: We normally do inside Sales and B2B Sales. We're about to open a StoreFront. Is that secure enough? :-) One useful tidbit, however: If you have a bunch of tables/data in MySQL that do *NOT* need to be publicly accessible, consider setting up a replication setup where only *some* of the tables are on the public site. That, however, is an all-MySQL issue. http://mysql.com -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
