Introduction
This tutorial will give you a fast look what you can do with WhizBase. I expect you already know how to work with HTML at least, and that you understand the basics of the internet and how the internet works.WhizBase is a server-side scripting language, which uses simple English words for its commands. WhizBase files regularly have .wbsp extension, but it also can have .ic, .sr, .inc and other less likely.
The syntax of WhizBase is directly embedded in HTML code, for example if you want to show the current date you use:
This is the date today: $WBFN[DATE]
Every WhizBase file is interpreted first then sent back to the browser, so this code will not show any WhizBase code in the source code of the page.Conditional Programming
As with most server-side scripting languages, WhizBase supports conditional programming, you can write IF statements and switch case statements in WhizBase. Here is the basic syntax and examples:$WBIF[expression|true part|false part]
If we need to show the string "Today is Friday" only when it is Friday we use:$WBIF[ $WBFN[WEEKDAYS] = "Friday"
|
Today is Friday
|
I am sorry today is not Friday
]
If just IF and ELSE are not sufficient (we want more than one case) we must use the CASE statement:|
Today is Friday
|
I am sorry today is not Friday
]
$WBCASE[separator|value|conditionlist|resultlist|default]
For the seven days in the week:$WBCASE[,|$WBFN[WEEKDAYN]
|
=1,=2,=3,=4,=5,=6,=7
|
Today is Sunday, Today is Monday, Today is Tuesday, Today is Wednesday, Today is Thursday, Today is Friday, Today is Saturday
|
Today is unknown!
]
|
=1,=2,=3,=4,=5,=6,=7
|
Today is Sunday, Today is Monday, Today is Tuesday, Today is Wednesday, Today is Thursday, Today is Friday, Today is Saturday
|
Today is unknown!

Passing Data from a Form
One common reason to use server-side programming on sites is to collect data from the visitors. To collect some data from the user we will use a simple HTML Form:<html>
<form method="post" action="process.wbsp">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" size="30">
</br>
Date of birth: <input type="text" name="bdate" size="30">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</html>
Now on the server-side in our file "process.wbsp":<form method="post" action="process.wbsp">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" size="30">
</br>
Date of birth: <input type="text" name="bdate" size="30">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</html>
Hello $WBV[fname], your date of birth is $WBV[bdate]!
Sending emails
A very powerful tool that is common on websites is a contact us form. The form can simply send an email by WhizBase, passing the subject, description and client's email.First we have the HTML form:
<html>
<form method="post" action="email.wbsp">
Your email: <input type="text" name="email" size="30">
<br>
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" size="30">
<br>
Body <textarea cols="30" rows="5" name="emailbody"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</html>
Now we make the WhizBase email:<form method="post" action="email.wbsp">
Your email: <input type="text" name="email" size="30">
<br>
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" size="30">
<br>
Body <textarea cols="30" rows="5" name="emailbody"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</html>
[FormFields]
wb_command=P
wb_mailserver=out.mail.com
wb_to=info@mydomain.com
wb_subject=$wbv{subject}
wb_from=$wbv{email}
<!--WB_BeginTemplate-->
<html><body>
$wbv[emailbody]
</body></html>
By defining the data of the server in the code before, we have code which will send an email to the defined destination.wb_command=P
wb_mailserver=out.mail.com
wb_to=info@mydomain.com
wb_subject=$wbv{subject}
wb_from=$wbv{email}
<!--WB_BeginTemplate-->
<html><body>
$wbv[emailbody]
</body></html>
Working with the Database
The simplest DB that WhizBase work with is Microsoft Access "mdb". But it also work with any common database.To query all the fields in an access recordset we use this code:
[FormFields]
WB_Command=q
WB_Basename=biblio.mdb
WB_Rcdset=titles
WB_TempName=$default$
This code will show all the data in the DB viewed in 20 records in a page with a navigator automatically generated for easier surfing.WB_Command=q
WB_Basename=biblio.mdb
WB_Rcdset=titles
WB_TempName=$default$
Writing files
Finally, how to write files using WhizBase?You have a lot of ways to write files in WhizBase, for example you can write ini files or txt files. I will show you the simplest way I have found:
[FormFields]
wb_destination=today_is.txt
wb_redirect=today_is.txt
<!--WB_BeginTemplate-->
Today is $WBFN[DATE]
When you open this file you will find today's date.wb_destination=today_is.txt
wb_redirect=today_is.txt
<!--WB_BeginTemplate-->
Today is $WBFN[DATE]
What is next
WhizBase can do a lot more than my examples have shown; you can work with sessions, arrays, variables, make complex calculations, update/delete/add records in any DB, sending sms's or mails to mailing lists and other features.For more information email me at: NurAzije [at] Gmail [dot] com Or visit WhizBase official site at www.whizbase.com

Dịch Thiến cất tiếng hỏi Thanh Dương lão ma:
- Ngươi có phải lấy linh hồn của bọn họ.
- Không có, ta chỉ bày trên người bọn họ một số linh hồn lực mà thôi, như vậy mới có thể khiến họ nghe lời.
Thanh Dương lão ma mê đắm nhìn thân thể của Dịch Thiến rồi nói.
- Ta muốn hỏi đến bao giờ ta mới đạt tới tu vi thực lực của ngươi?
Dịch Thiến cất tiếng hỏi.
- Nàng rất không tệ, ta ở tiên ma giới mấy nghìn năm vẫn chưa nhìn thấy người nào có thiên phú như vậy, lại là một cô nương tuyệt sắc.
Thanh Dương lão ma nói với Dịch Thiến, sau đó ánh mắt lại nhìn lên trên bộ ngực của nàng.
- Ta hiện tại mới đạt tới tu vi Nguyên Anh trung kỳ mà thôi,tu vi quá thấp.
