Hi guys and girls - I have a job on at the moment where a website users can earn &quot;points&quot; towards a total (its a group total for everyone using the site) by entering a competition ( a simple form with DB Record Insertion), but can also earn points by &quot;liking the site on facebook).<br />
<br />
Obviously I can pull a record count out of my DB to access the number of points the &quot;site&quot; has earned from competition entries - but I also need to be able to somehow parse a variable (that of total number of likes) into an ASP VBScript script/page so that I can add them both together to give a total number of points....<br />
<br />
I'm a bit new to the FB thing - so am at a loss - any advice will be greatly recieved.<br />
<br />
Many thx

Parsing Facebook Like Number as a variable in ASP VB

A blog is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs can be the work of a single individual but more recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited and "microblogging" systems help integrate blogs into societal newstreams.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
