Tell me what to do in following situation?

[codeartist]

I am thinking of creating a software that will have two systems:

1. Server code and Database
2. Client code and GUI codes.

When someone click the login button on my login page. I create a connection and connectToHost(). It gets connected. Then I need to know how can I get the data from database located on server system so that I can show the data on profile page.

Let suppose I need to retrieve name , address and photo.

Really need help regarding it!!!

You need to design an application layer protocol which is understood both by server and client systems.

Thanks for the reply. Can you show me a sample example.

pseudo-code:


// client
void requestUserData( int user_id )
{
socket->write( "GET_USER_DATA," + QString::number( user_id ) );
}

void newDataReceived( void )
{
QString data( socket->readAll() );
QStringList sl = data.split( "," );

if( sl.at( 0 ) == "USER_DATA" )
{
QString name = sl.at( 1 );
QString address = sl.at( 2 );
QString image = sl.at( 3 );
}
}

// server
void sendData( QString name, QString address, QString image )
{
socket->write( "USER_DATA," + name "," + address + "," + image );
}

void dataReceived( void )
{
QString data( socket->readAll() );
QStringList sl = data.split( "," );

if( sl.at( 0 ) == "GET_USER_DATA" )
{
int user_id = sl.at( 1 ).toInt();

sendData( users[user_id].name, users[user_id].address, users[user_id].image );
}
}
