    Donate Link in a Program

    I am not very good at software development and my only code is BASIC. Would the following be possible.

    Program downloaded from my site: when opens box comes up (I can do this bit easily) stays open for 1 minute {a bit like a splash screen which can't be moved and the underlying program can't be used for this minute} then asks for money to be donated to me for making the prog. He enters his email address (or waits for it to go away; but enters email address if donated) and then it links to my MySQL database hosted at home on an apache server (how do I stop SQL injection on this). Then if people have given me a nochex donation my server looks at my Nochex account with a script to see who has donated... it sees joe@blogs.com has donated some money. My server adds him to the database and assigns a pattern of number and letters (a bit like a hash in AD); it then emails him the hash- he enters it into my program and it saves the hash in the registry so he doesn't have to enter it again.

    If he's email isn't there it sends him a nice email asking if he'd like to donate.

    Also how can I make this secure.

    i hope you get the picture... how hard would this be to do? Thanks

    If you aren't very good at software development, why charge people for your programs?

    Indeed, there's not a chance in hell you'd get any money out of it

    matted appears to be running way before walking, eg: decompiling programs.

    try working on a few basics in your chosen languages and it should start to flow.
    It is Inevitable.....

    caged... true (but I've got some good projects coming up if I ever get round to doing them). also not charging; making them so bloody fedup they donate

    *then they don't download it cause of that*

    ikonia.... only some of my old ones which I don't have the code for anymore.
