Howdy cats and kittens! I had an interesting thought after watching a demo of a POS system and wondered if the same type of methodology could be applied in a PHP application. I haven't thought this all the way through, but a fully-hatched idea like this could signal a major change in applications designed with PHP. In the POS if the network connectivity was lost the store could continue to operate, once the network connectivity was restored the data from each store would sync back up and data would be sent to the central server, yadda, yadda, yadda. Of course this is in a client/server application with an executable residing on each workstation. So, if you wanted to do this with PHP you would likely have to have a local web /database server (each store), establish a socket (primary and store servers?) to watch for an outage/restore and then write the code to support the sync up. Can it be done with PHP? It would definitely be worth the trouble given the frequency that connections to stores get lost.
