Ringtones and Picture download in mobile

Post by amitg »

Hi

What are the additional modules needed to handle ringtones and picture message in a site which can be downloaded from the web to paid user?

for ringtones i know midi files can be uploaded which later should be transformed into RTTTL format...now the question is all handset supports same RTTTL format for a same midi file??

for picture messages which is preferable to use : gif or jpg..what is the size validation ????

and what SMS gateway we need --i have heard about bigfoot ..also i integrate one site with this for simple sms messageing...

can anybody help me to choose the right one???

i invite all the open source developer (PHP)

thanks & regards

Actually it all depends on the phone and service.

If you go here you can test your phone http://www.xingtone.com/phones.html

For example my phone I got audio using .qcp files along with .gcd files that have all the information to the sound file.

This is how it basically works.

You send a sms to your phone using the mail function
The body of the message contains the URL to your gdc file (http://www.example.com/example.gcd) (note you have to edit your htttp.conf to allow those types of files)
Then you go to the URL of the link...

Contents of the .gdc file

Code: Select all

//Image
Content-Type: type (image/png)
Content-Name: name of image
Content-Version: 1.0
Content-Vendor: vender
Content-URL: url to file
Content-Size: size in bytes

//Audio
Content-Type: audio/vnd.qcelp
Content-ID: name of file without extension
Content-Name: name of file without extension
Content-Version: 1.0
Content-Vendor: Vender Name (your website or your name whatever you want)
Content-Info-URL: URL to your website
Content-Storefront-URL: URL to your website
Content-URL: URL to gcd files (http://www.example.com/example.gcd)
Content-Size: size in bytes of file
Search for on google.com:
pvconv.exe (converts wavs -> gcd files)
.gcd
.qcp

But this is just basics how it works I left a lot more to figure out for yourself
