how to use php to offer downloadable ringtones for mobiles?

Post by lostboy »

hi all, doing some research into how websites supply ringtones for cell phones

1. does it use the standard download functionality in php?

2. phones must be able to surf web, wml or html?

3. any sites or tutorials for this?

TIA

On my phone I open up Opera, download the mid / wav / mp3 I want to use, and hit 'set as ringtone'.
As far as a phone is concerned it doesn't care about PHP because PHP is serverside, not clientside.

Off Topic, but i just found this
http://news.com.com/2100-1033-984138.html?tag=fd_top
Beginning next week, people who use Sony Ericsson's P800 mobile phones can download a browser from Opera Software that will let them see bulky Web pages on their tiny screens.
That's pretty cool, I might have to look more into that!
