Hello everybody
For a science project I am working on a mechanism that hands over
data from a smartphone to a web-browser (=Internet PC). Both connect
to a PHP server. The PHP server has to receive the data (=some kind
of an URL) on the smartphone end and deliver it to the browser end.
Up to now there have been two (working) implementations. One using
the filesystem the other one using a MySQL Database. The data coming
up from the smartphone is stored in a file/table and some seconds
later sent down to the browser.
My question: is it possible to implement this mechanisms just with
PHP methods? I can't think of such a method but need to be sure.
Tank you in advance.
Have a good evening,
Tobias

What I would do is have the smartphone send some unique identifier
along with its data. For the browser I would have the page refresh at
certain time interval, calling a PHP script to see if any data is
available for the smartphone's ID. If you did want the page to keep
reloading, you could use AJAX.
Take care,
Floyd
