PHP and VB

OK I am way new to this like the last 10 min. new lol...ok can I use PHP and VB together and can someone help me with some very very simple tutorials on VisualBasic and also I would like to create my own windows browser like FireFox or Internet Explore how complex would that be.

You can use PHP and VBS in the same page. As for tutorials, google has them by the gaggle. You would not be able to create your own browser with VBS. You probably could with PHP, but it would definitely not be easy. If you really want to then I would suggest Python if you want cross platform or C# if you just want windows.

Same topic, PHP and VB.

From a programmer no longer available I have a php scipt which runs to confirm that PayPal payment has been made, and then asks for a name and a date. When these are supplied and a Submit button is pressed, the outputs are sent to form_action.asp, for which the code so far is (with some other help) simply

<%
 dim x
 for each x in request.querystring
    response.write x & ": " & request.querystring(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine
 next
 %>

and from which the on-screen result for the user to see is

name: Your Name Here
date: 04/24/07

which is OK as far as it goes. What I MAY need is additional coding to get as strings the two values of request.querystring(x), which I will operate on to create an alphanumeric code. The user will see and copy this for use in enabling the application.

I am not asking how to encrypt. I have code for that. I am simply asking how to set a vb string equal to request.querystring(x). Were it in php, my departed programmer would have declared

$licensee_name=$_GET['name']
 $licensee_name=$_GET['date']

He left it to me to work with those strings. Is it already a pair of strings, ready to use in my encryption routine? If so, I really have no problem. But I need to know that.
