[LON-CAPA-users] LON-CAPA and php?

[Todd Ruskell]

We would primarily use the retrieval of parameters and setting of hidden
variables.  The code also used to talk to a database for storage and
retrieval of some information.  The author is willing to either use
communication with his own database within the mysql installation on our
library server, or hard-code information in problems if we can't talk to
the database.

I'll try to get my hands on a suitable piece of sample code.
