PHP - Share Info Between 2 Apps In The Same Server

Hey guys so I am making an online App website. So I need to it to be so some apps will be added by default. Then users can search for apps and "install" apps but really just have them show up on the homepage. So how would the database design work like have a field that is updated to 1 if the user has it installed and 0 if its not. And then do like an if statement to pull all the fields with 1 where username='$username'. And when it pulls it should I add like a URL field to it to so when it pulls the app information there will be a link to the app url. Could somebody please help me with what I should do because I am really confused on what design and if statements I should use

In php how could I build a .net application?
So I have a source that I want to build in .net, but i'm not sure how...

I just built a new app and I used the same shopping cart class I created in a previous app. This way when I add something in the old app's shopping cart, it also shows up my new app's cart

Any ideas how can I solve this ?

Hey all   I have been building sites for a long time and I am pretty confident in modern frameworks like Bootstrap etc. I have played about with JQuery Mobile and UI. I know how to make mobile sites from a front end side. I understand that I can upload my site to PhoneGap and turn it into a native app.   However, I would love to know how to make useful apps that dont just display static text. E.g. using things like Google Places API.   I know how to make mobile sites easily enough that display info. I just don't really understand how to link that up with dynamic data from APIs etc.  How to feed that content back to the user. For a vasic example, say I wanted to have a simple app that had a search box. You enter 'PIZZA' into it and it comes back with a result of all local pizza spots. How would I do that?   If someone could point me in the right direction for where I could experiment with this I would be really grateful .

I have my dns set so that it uses google servers to handle my email.

I have a spf record:
Host:     @
TXT Value:     v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

However if I want to send mail using the php mail function how do I do this? because it is getting seen a spam because I assume it is not being seen as coming from google servers but from my websites server?... what do I do in this case?

I was wondering about developing simple client side graphical apps. I was thinking of using php with an ODBC connection to the data store. The data store might be a text file in CSV format or something similar. (maybe even a spreadsheet)! I was wondering what would be a very simple minimally useful web server to run on the client? The client would probably be MS Windows XP/7.   What are your thoughts?  

I like to set up websites for people who don't have the know how to do it themselves, I mainly set them up wordpress sites cuz thats pretty easy for them to modify and maintain themselves. To save myself time, I decided to learn how to do it with Composer (what a brilliant tool that it). Can anyone who uses composer for this kinda thing, can you post your composer.json files here. Also, if anyone can show me a better way of doing things, it'd be much appreciated. Heres the one I made:

{
    "name": "acme/brilliant-wordpress-site",
    "description": "My brilliant WordPress site",
    "repositories":[
        {
            "type":"composer",
            "url":"http://wpackagist.org"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "johnpbloch/wordpress": ">=3.8.0",
        "wpackagist-plugin/captcha":">=3.9",
        "wpackagist-plugin/tinymce-advanced":">=4.0.0",
        "wpackagist-plugin/wordpress-importer":"*",
        "wpackagist-theme/hueman":"*",
        "wpackagist-theme/eclipse":"*",
        "wpackagist-theme/raindrops":"*"
    },
    "extra": {
	"installer-paths": {
		"mysite": ["johnpbloch/wordpress"],
		"mysite/wp-content/plugins/{$name}": ["type:wordpress-plugin"],
		"mysite/wp-content/themes/{$name}": ["type:wordpress-theme"]
        }
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {
            "Acme": "src/"
        }
    }
}

I think I'm doing this in a silly way though. I read about these composer installer things on github, but I didn't figure out how to use them so instead I used the installer-paths key to make the autoloader put the files in the right place. Heres a composer.json file I found which is better cuz it uses a post installation script:

{
    "require": {
        "wordpress/core": "3.5.2",
        "wordpress/twentytwelve": "1.1",
        "wordpress/akismet": "2.5.7",
        "wordpress/google-sitemap-generator": "3.2.9",
        "wordpress/google-analytics-for-wordpress": "4.3.3",
        "wordpress/wordpress-importer": "0.6.1"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://raw.github.com/wordpressoncomposer/composer-repository/master/"
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/wordpressoncomposer/installer"
        }
    ],
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": "Wordpress\\Composer\\InstallerTasks::wpConfig"
    },
    "extra": {
        "wordpress_coredir": "wordpress/core",
        "wordpress_wp_contentdir": "wordpress/wp-content",
        "wordpress_wp_config": {
            "site_url": "http://localhost",
            "db_host": "localhost",
            "db_user": "root",
            "db_pass": "",
            "db_name": "wordpress"
        }
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

I'm gonna start using these scripts once I figure out how to use them. Where are the scripts stored? I haven't a clue what this autoload thing is all about either, is it a tool for moving files into the appropriate directories? See how the first file gets wordpress from packagist, and the second one gets it from github. Is there a difference? If I was to add that post-install-cmd key to the first composer.json file, would it still work? In other words, do both repositories contain identical packages.

I am trying to implement the method described in this post: http://www.addthis.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=24637 to get my Addthis button to act the way I need it to. I have posted on the site, but have gotten no response.

I cannot get it to work. Can anybody have a look at the code below and see if they can help? Thanks

I have placed the Facebook LIKE/SHARE buttons on a website using the following:

<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://mysite.com" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true" data-width="280px"></div>

the LIKE button works fine.  the SHARE button works but i cannot seem to customize and of the values such as which image to include.  i have the following in my HEAD section but it does nothing.  do i need to create an APP and reference the ID?  any help is much appreciated

<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
    <meta property="og:title" content="Can tea make for a happy marriage" />
    <meta property="og:url" content="http://mysite.com/index.php" />
    <meta property="og:image" content="http://mysite.com/pics/gallery/2.jpg" />

Can somebody please explain how to properly add a Facebook Share button to my site?   It's not simply a matter of generating the button and pasting the code into my pages; in order to ensure that the right information is shared, I also have to add Open Graph metatags.   But the thing that's confusing me is that one of the required Open Graph metatags is this:

<meta property="fb:app_id" content="APP_ID_NUMBER" />

Questions   1) Does this mean that I have to register as an app builder before I can add the Share button? If so, why doesn't Facebook say so on the Share button page?   2) When generating the Share button, I am asked for the "URL to share". Does this mean that I have to generate a different Share button for each page? Surely not.   3) I use ShareThis at the moment. Does ShareThis work with Facebook Insights?

I'm wondering if anyone can help me find/create a script which allows a preview of a link to be generated?

Basically I need a user to be able to simply enter a url and click submit and then a preview of that link will be shown in the form of some text and an image. Very similar to what Facebook does when a user shares a link. I think they use the description tag of the site in general.

Can anyone point me in the right direction in doing this? I need to be able to do it in php/javascript alone without the use of jquery or plugins.

Hi,   I've added social sharing icons to every article on the homepage. Now they just share the page itself - the idea is to share that (wordpress) post/article. I've succeeded to do so with facebook likes on the English version with adding 

<div class="fb-like" data-href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"

Now I want to do the same with these 3 share icons:

<div class="social-content"><?php if (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='zh-hans'): ?><div class="bshare-custom"><div class="bsPromo bsPromo2"></div><a title="分享到微信" class="bshare-weixin" href="javascript:void(0);"></a><a title="分享到新浪微博" class="bshare-sinaminiblog" href="javascript:void(0);"></a><a title="分享到QQ空间" class="bshare-qzone"></a><a title="更多平台" class="bshare-more bshare-more-icon more-style-addthis"></a><span class="BSHARE_COUNT bshare-share-count" style="float: none;">19.5K</span></div><?php endif; ?></div>

Can this be done by adding PHP? I'm not sure where I would have to add this...   Thanks Attached Files  csr1.jpg   38.34KB   0 downloads
