Hi,
Newbie here with couple of generic questions.
1: Is it possible to write a script where I can goto SITEA (a mashup), enter my login info and from within that site grab or pull data from SITEB to show on SITEA presuming that I have stored my login info for SITEB into SITEA already?
2: Is PHP the best way to proceed with this type of function?
Yes, there exist several ways to do this; however it's all limited on your server configuration (including PHP and your DB). Some databases are configured so that it only accepts connections internally (from localhost).
PHP is a good way to do it, however, you can still use Perl, Lisp, or even RubyOR.
