utilizing an HTML-style tag-based approach to web development, WebSiphon<br />
offers the SiphonScript scripting language which makes it easy for novice<br />
and experienced users alike to create extremely powerful applications.</p>
<p>UNSURPASSED DATABASE SUPPORT</p>
<p>Using the right tool for the job is always important, and WebSiphon's wide<br />
array of database storage options for your web applications won't let you<br />
down.<br />
Every copy of WebSiphon includes the Verona database engine, developed<br />
specifically for use on the web. For those who prefer FileMaker Pro, a<br />
complete suite of functions are included that can access databases served<br />
on the local web server or elsewhere on an AppleTalk network. Using<br />
WebSiphon Enterprise Edition, developers can connect to any ODBC-compliant<br />
data source when development needs demand scalability and distribution of<br />
servers among multiple machines.</p>
<p>WebSiphon's architecture allows third-party developers to create add-on<br />
products that further extend the capabilities of the environment. Paradigma<br />
Software has integrated the Valentina database engine with WebSiphon for<br />
users desiring speed and power beyond flat file or desktop database<br />
solutions. Valentina provides a fast and friendly database server with<br />
excellent scalability without the expense and complexity of a large-scale<br />
RDBMS. Further information on Valentina for WebSiphon is available from<br />
Paradigma's web site at (<a href="http://www.paradigma.com/" title="http://www.paradigma.com/">http://www.paradigma.com/</a>).</p>
<p>NEW FEATURES IN THIS VERSION</p>
<p>WebSiphon v2.0 represents a significant update for the environment, including:</p>
<p>-- WebSiphon is now available as a W*API plug-in in addition to the<br />
stand-alone ACGI application. The plug-in version offers improved<br />
performance, eliminating Apple Event communication with the web server.</p>
<p>-- HTTP file upload & multipart form data support allows users to upload<br />
files to a web server using standard browsers. File uploads can be limited<br />
in size globally or on a script-by-script basis.</p>
<p>-- The SiphonScript language has been updated to include exception handling<br />
and improved repeat loop syntax.</p>
<p>-- Improved security in multiple-user environments allows site<br />
administrators to limit script execution to WebSiphon's "Templates" folder.</p>
<p>-- Support for multiple merchant accounts with MacAuthorize Hub</p>
<p>-- Enhanced TCP/IP built-in functions including HTTP, FTP and SMTP/POP</p>
<p>-- Shutdown scripts that execute when the WebSiphon application is quit</p>
<p>-- Customizable error pages help keep cryptic messages from confusing site<br />
visitors</p>
<p>-- Web-based administration offers ease of administration when away from<br />
the server (optional)</p>
<p>-- A wide array of small enhancements: improved performance, support for<br />
POST arguments greater than 32K, updated add-on API, expanded math<br />
functions and more!</p>
