MIVA Script Development

Building MIVA Script Database Applications

Workshop Presentation MIVA Small Business Conference 2006

Summary

MIVA Script is a robust development environment for integrating databases into a web site. The MIVA Empresa Virtual Machine has a built-in database server, and it can be used for accessing third-party database servers such as MySQL.

  • MIVA Script is an XML-based server-side scripting language that is implemented as a pre-processor for other Web based languages. Miva Script provides XML-compliant tags for database, commerce, control flow, modularization, and easy access to protocols
  • MIVA Script programs are HTML documents that also contain tags (commands) from the MIVA Script programming language. MIVA Script is a server-side scripting language that is implemented by Miva Empresa (and MIVA Mia) rather than by the browser.

  • The MIVA Scripting code is embedded within the HTML code. That is what is meant by "XML-based server-side scripting language". This is in contrast to other languages, like Perl, where the html code may be embedded within the programming code.
