Touch screen
Hi,I just stumbled across this forum.
I want to make a touch screen software (website) using PHP.
Where user could request to process from screen only, there is no request from keybord or mouse (just like ATM machine.)
Is there any way to do it in PHP.
Thanking you

Re: Touch screen
A touch screen does whatever a mouse would do like scrolling, clicking, right clicking etc. In fact, a touchscreen is a just a large mouse. So whatever is click-able with a mouse can be done with php and appropriately sized buttons, etc. Input is input.

Re: Touch screen
For all intents and purposes a touchscreen is a mouse. You don't have to do anything differently.
Re: Touch screen
The point being that whatever you would program in php that would require a mouse click, you would do the same for a touch screen.tasairis wrote:For all intents and purposes a touchscreen is a mouse. You don't have to do anything differently.
If you don't know how to make buttons in php, well, that's a whole different story and there's a slew of tutorials out there.

Can you direct me to one? I normally make buttons in HTML.JakeJ wrote:If you don't know how to make buttons in php, well, that's a whole different story and there's a slew of tutorials out there.
PHP is client independent, so, you don't have to do anything different to make your php work with a touch screen.
I would imagine a touch screen app to be pretty javascript heavy.

Oh boy... we've all got to start somewhere.
I think you're lacking a basic understanding of what PHP is.
PHP is a scripting language designed to output html code? Why do you need PHP? If you want to pull information from a database, use logic structures, and output other types of dynamic content, you need more than just HTML.
I suggest you run through as many PHP tutorials as you can over at http://www.W3Schools.
Good luck!

Re: Touch screen
You don't have to do anything special. A regular webpage will work fine.

Code: Select all
<?php
ob_end_flush();
$count = 1000000;
echo "Converting website to touch screen compatibility, please wait...";
for($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++)
{
sleep(2);
echo ".";
flush();
}
?>
