Is it possible to upload AMC to a server, manage it online, and create a website supported on AMC?

I do not understand what you mean exactly... you mean put the data online but still allow to access to it with AMC ?
It may be an idea for a future version... the easiest solution would be a MySQL database (or any other database) but most of the servers do not accept connections from foreign hosts.

My idea is to upload the database that I am building with AMC to a website.
My question is if it is possible, for instance, exporting to MySLQ.

File -> Export -> SQL ?

Je crois que urraburu proposait de faire une version web de amc.
Un site avec les fonctionnalité d'amc avec un login par utilisateur.

Ouais enfin c'est tout un autre programme ça, moi je fais le programme en Delphi tel qu'il est livré actuellement, mais je n'ai pas envie de devoir refaire la même chose en PHP ou autre Puis qui va payer le serveur ?

THIS would the best idea to give third choice about storing data. I have my own mysql database driven web site where i have list of my movies. It would be perfect if Movie Catalog could work with MySQL directly instead of going through export and import. Sometimes you notice a small misprint or mistake and you have to go Movie Catalog, edit, then export and import.

I found the other way around. I need to save my catalog in XML format and then just parse it using PHP. But i don't like it

I just rewrote code and it's runnig really FAST
So I already like it

Does it allow external connections ?

Sure. Whatever you want
I use EMS MySQL Manager. This program connects directly to MySQL server without any problem. When you create a user, it lets you specify what ip address he can connect from. It could be just localhost, or a range of ip's, or just "%" - any ip . And you have to unbind your server also. By default it's not binded.

I was thinking that it was on a usual public server, which usually do not allow external connections
I'll probably try to make something for MySQL, but I will probably do it through PHP scripts so it will allow to use it also for hosts that protect their SQL server (here the scripts will be hosted on the web server so they can access to the SQL database, and they can be called from outsite).

I understand that scripts will be used as a bridge between Movie Catalog and DataBase. It's good idea, however it'll be a little bit hard to implement.

As for now, I like to save my catalog as XML file and just upload this and new photos to a web-server.

No, it would be quite simple I think
But it does not have a high priority for me, and I already lots of things to do before

No rush. XML works very fine for me so far Thanks
