I’ve written a PHP script
that is served from my host's server that I can access from my computer
and/or my phone in a browser. Everything works perfectly.
There is a feature on the iPhone (apparently there’s something similar
on Android, too) where I can add the script to the home screen so it
functions like an app. Very nice. However, as soon as I click a link
to go to any other page of my script, the new page opens in Safari and I
lose the full screen goodness of the web app.
So I thought I
should change the script from multiple pages to a single page, and just
change the content on the main page. However, I can’t figure out how to
make that work. I've tried creating a session and loading each “page”
by changing a $_SESSION[‘page’] variable, but the session variable
doesn’t appear to be global, or I’m doing it wrong. I echo’d that var
both before the $content and again afterwards, and only the 2nd one
changes - not the first one - so, of course, the content doesn’t change.
Is there a way to do what I’m trying to do? Or am I going about it the
wrong way? How can I make this script work as a web app on my phone?
Thanks,
Frank
