a friend told me that i possibly can create mac applications via the php plugin in realbasic. is this true? ive searched the net like crazy and the syntax doesnt look anything close to php using the plugin that is. all u do is write function calls and write your php in it. but that is kind of dumb. what i wanna know is what languages are supported in this app and what lanuage is it or close to that i see in its tutorials? thnx
Can REALBasic do this?
A Review of REALBasic says
REALBasic is tool that allows programmers to develop applications using the BASIC programming language ... REALBasic will also create applications for MAC OS Classic and MAC OS X.
Your friend may have been mistaken about support for other languages.
REAL Studio (formerly called REALbasic) is a fully object oriented BASIC language that compiles native Macintosh OS X, Windows and Linux executables. The IDE contains all of the editors and compilers needed to create applications.
Monkeybread Software offers a php plugin that allows you to call php scripts in REALbasic. They also offer a way to use Java classes from within a REALbasic application. Plugins, in general, allow you to call C code outside of the RB frameworks.
Perhaps your friend was thinking of Yuma? It allows you to do web site site scripting (much like PHP) using REALbasic.
REALStudio is an IDE for REAL Software's version of BASIC. It compiles for MacOS, Windows and Linux. The IDE supports one language- BASIC.
