hi... a rather basic question. i'm looking for examples of client/server apps. i'm also looking for input as to what's the best way to implement the underlying messaging protocols. i've started looking at soap/rpc, but i'm not sure as to how these protocols would fit/work.. the client/server apps are both web based apps on different servers. i'm envisioning a test app (client) where a user logs into a web app. the user is able to enter some information, do some functions, etc... the client app is then able to communicate with the 'server app' (server) to exchange information, and perform some actions. the actions might be to upload/download/delete/update information, or some other function. if possible i'd also like the ability to 'push' information from the server, to the client apps, or would it make more sense to have some type of client cron process that continuously checks the server app, and pulls any required information. i'd like the communication between client/server to be encrypted/authenticated/secure. i'd also like to be able to support multiple clients simultaneously communicating with the server. these are kind of basic thoughts to my putting this test app together. -bruce bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
