PHP on PDAs

Post by jagandara »

Hi! I am relatively new to PHP and am working on it for developing an information system. I would like to use PDAs with wireless connection to the lan to access this system. I am building the information system using PHP and mysql. I am considering using postgresql instead of mysql. My need here is to build an extremely robust system.

Would there be any problem with browsing and filling out PHP/html forms on PDAs. Has anyone done something similar before. Suggestions are welcome.

thanks

It'll be just like filling out a normal form written in HTML. Nothing different. :)

sadly, my PDA isn't hooked up to the net, so I've never tried it, but I assume that it would work fine assuming the browser on the PDA can send post data and what-not.

Thanks for the feed back guys.
I am worried about stuff like memory leaks. Plus I havent ever programmed anything embedded let alone make something work on a PDA.
I'm working on it right now and would post stuff here as and when it comes up.
If anyones got any suggestion please let me know.

php still resides on the server. The pda will not notice it, only its output which does not differ from any other html document there is

a great thing about server side is that the server does the work, the pda dosen't know anything outside itself.

php on pda

Post by jagandara »

Php as expected works fine with the html embedding. I still havent experienced any memory leak shutdowns so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Bu there is this problem of the browser and the screen resolution in pdas no really allowing html to define its interface. I define some button size but the browser on the pda does not show the changes.

any suggestions?
