PHP - How We Can Generate Android App / Iphone App From Web Server Using Php

I inherrited a site that has PHP code that decides to either serve the dedicated mobile site or desktop site to the user.
I would prefer that tablets get served the mobile site. Currently Android tablet users get served the desktop site.
I'd like to figure out how I can implement User Agent to detect an android tablet (with distinction from an Android phone)
This is the code I'm working with to determine which site to serve (mobile or desktop) Thanks   if ((strpos($user_agent, 'Mobile') === false &&     // Generic mobile browser string, most browsers have it.
strpos($user_agent, 'SymbianOS') === false &&    // Nokia device running Symbian OS.
strpos($user_agent, 'Opera M') === false && // Opera Mini or Opera Mobile.
strpos($user_agent, 'Android') === false && // Android devices that don't have 'Mobile' in UA string.
stripos($user_agent, 'HTC_') === false &&    // HTC devices that don't have 'Mobile' nor 'Android' in UA string. Case insensitive.
strpos($user_agent, 'Fennec/') === false &&     // Firefox mobile
strpos($user_agent, 'Kindle') === false &&     // Kindle Fire tablet
strpos($user_agent, 'BlackBerry') === false) ||    // BlackBerry
strpos($user_agent, 'iPad') === false)    // iPad
{
// Serve Desktop Site
return false;
}
 

I have a little php site that looks up data in my crm database quickly and easily on my iphone.
Right now it's wide open because I'm in and out of it all day and trying to input uid/pw into a secure login page is a pain in the rear. (we're not talking about sensitive data here and I'm the only user.)

So, I would like to design a screen with several large graphic buttons and be able to touch those buttons in a specific sequence that would functionally allow a secure login.

Similar in concept to the android screen lock. You touch a sequence of numbered buttons and voila, the screen unlocks. It does not open a text field for data entry into two separate fields.

So if my access code was 1,2,3,4 and the screen was divided into quarters with a large number on each one, I would touch the buttons in that order and it would open the main page.

How would this best be accomplished? Is there a php function to essentially build a variable through successive key presses? then with a final submit it would just check that against a "secret code" and allow access.

Thanks for any input.   

Hi,

I am new trying to make a simple test iPhone app that reads data from a MySql server via php get method. As a test I used a 'film' database but soon realised that if the get method contains two words '%20' is added to the middle.

As a workaround, I tried:
 if (strpos($_GET['film'], '%20') !==false)
 $film = str_replace("%20", " ", $_GET['film'];
 else
 $_GET[film]=$film;

and then appending $film to the end of my sql query.

I have tried many variations of this but cannot get it to work! Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have a PHP web system that store in a windows server. In the system, there is a function for user to upload files to another server (Shared server in Unix).

When i try to upload a file, it gives warning:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\unixserver/sharedfolder/upload/test.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\upload\index.php on line 40

For your information, my username has been assigned in xxx's group that has access to read and write on that folder. Besides, i'm able to open,create and delete files on that folder's server manually (samba).

The safe mode setting is off.

Does anybody has any idea why this thing happen?

I'm trying to make a simple website where people register to my website.

When the user doesn't fill anything inside the boxes they get a message "Please fill all required fields" on the register.php page

On my local host require_once works good. It shows up.

 

But when i upload the files to my sever the require_once does not show up on the register.php

It just refreshes and i dont get the message "Please fill all required fields"

 

This is the code that works in local host but not in a live server

<?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?>

 

 

Here is my full code

 

Register page:

<html>


<?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?>

<br><br>


<form action="register-clicked.php" method="POST">

Username:<br>
<input type="text" name="usernamebox" placeholder="Enter Username Here">
<br><br>
Email:<br>
<input type="text" name="emailbox" placeholder="Enter email here">
<br><br>
Password:<br>
<input type="password" name="passwordbox" placeholder="Enter password here">
<br><br>
Confirm Password:<br>
<input type="password" name="passwordconfirmbox" placeholder="Re-enter password here">
<br><br>

<input type="submit" name="submitbox" value="Press to submit">
<br><br>

</form>

</html>

 

 

Register clicked

<?php


session_start();



$data = $_POST;

if( empty($data['usernamebox']) ||
    empty($data['emailbox']) ||
    empty($data['passwordbox']) ||
    empty($data['passwordconfirmbox'])) {
    $_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Please fill all required fields';
    header('Location: register.php');
    exit;

}




if ($data['passwordbox'] !== $data['passwordconfirmbox']) {
    $_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Passwords do not match';
    header('Location: register.php');
    exit;
}


$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=mydatabase;host=localhost';
$dbUser='myuser';
$dbPassword= 'password';

try{
$connection = new PDO($dsn, $dbUser, $dbPassword);
} catch (PDOException $exception){
    $_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Connection failed: ' . $exception->getMessage();
    header('Location: register.php');
    exit;
}

 

 

messages.php

<?php
session_start();

if (empty($_SESSION['messages'])){
    return;
}

$messages = $_SESSION['messages'];
unset($_SESSION['messages']);
?>



<ul>
    <?php foreach ($messages as $message): ?>
        <li><?php echo $message; ?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

Hi,  I am not a PHP programmer.

I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases.
The site is up and running on the web.
I would like to get it running on my local machine for further development.
I have latest version of WAMP installed, running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0
I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up there like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost"

Problem:

The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc.


Here is the code for the home page:

<?
  define("NAV","home");
require_once('local/local.php');
?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have spent many hours on this.

Is it possible to retrieve a visitor's iPhone device id? If so, how?

If it's not possible, do all iPhones accept cookies?

Hi folks,

I'm curious if I can for example, save a file from my server and it will save to all other servers - obviously if they accepted the connection first. It's for a software I developed and is almost complete and know there will be frequent updates to it. Instead of users downloading upates, I want the update files from my server to somehow synchronize to their server automatically?

Anything called this??

Thanks for info.

Hello,

I have a very big problem with stolen data and i don't know how to STOP that.

The situation :

I have a website where i spend lot of time to register events and info on events (something like www.CoolEvents.com)
Users can log in and then comment events, and do others actions when logged.

The PROBLEM :

Someone created AN IPHONE APPLICATION that is an EXACT copy of my website, and is name CoolEvent App !!!
Same infos, same comments, and you can log in via this app (parsing my site) and post comment on my website !

It's horrible for me, because 40% of my users now used this application (who earn money by displaying advertising).
So i losed 40% of visitors !!!

Without using legal channels, how can i STOP an IPHONE APP to parse my website or to acces to my website ?
Do you know a TECHNICAL solution to prevent an APP to PARSE and then copy my website ?
At least, is it possible to made it IMPOSSIBLE to log in to my website (and so be able to post comment on my site) by using this APP ?

Thanks for your help !!

Hello guys, hope you are doing good. I urgently need your help at a point where I am stuck. I have created this form and applied some css to it. If I am viewing that form using Google Chrome, it looks perfectly fine but when I am viewing it using IE9 or Mozilla or viewing it on my iPhone, the whole border, button etc. gets messed up. Anybody knows how I can fix this so that it looks completely fine no matter if one is viewing it using any browser? The form can be viewed over here http://sigmalogistix.com/index3.php and this is the code:

This is how it looks when I view it using Google Chrome 19 (everything's perfect).



This is how it looks when I view it using Firefox 12 (notice that the shadow behind the form is misaligned).



This is how it looks when I view it using IE9 (everything's misaligned  )



And this is on iPhone's Safari browser.



Please help me guys, thanks.

Hi everybody   I want to put this code (or something like that) in my index.php to redirect the iPhones etc. But where do I have to put it in? In the head or body?? And how can I call this function?   Thanks a lot for helping a beginner!

function ismobile(){
$useragent = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’];
// Standard vendor-model/version user agents

Following a tutorial on udemy, i tried to learn the very basics of mvc structure. I built the same project on my local server and it worked without giving me any error. but when i tried it on live server. its not working as it should. not showing any error. I tried to figure out the problem and found that for every page loading, it stops at the same line in my main.php file.

<?php require($view); ?>

starting from the above line. it stops. i came here to share my problem but i am unable to upload my files here. if there is a way to upload and share my files, please guide. zip file size of the whole project is 31.6 kb

This isn't exactly an application design question, but rather a system design one.   I am about to install an Inventory Control System inside this store I work in.   The store itself also owns a Linode VPS running Centos 6.4 which hosts our website.   This new Inventory System will come built in with a Microsoft SQL Server, and supposedly it is a SQL Anywhere database, but I'm not too sure what that means.     I need to make this database publicly accessible, but only via the Linode VPS.  Surely, setting restrictions is easy enough to address that issue.  That isn't my question.   My first idea is to put this server into the DMZ, easy.  But it doesn't exactly sound safe.  So my next idea was to put a middleman server in the DMZ, this way the Linode can send queries to that middleman server and it will send that data to the SQL Server and back.  This is very vaguely described I know, but I don't want to get too much into details, but rather, understand how I can create that middleman server, and what could Install onto it that would allow me to securely process queries?   My first thought was to install a webservice, that accepts an XML/JSON request and returns an XML/JSON response. Then, I realized directly afterwards that I don't have any experience setting up a webservice like that. What kind of options are there out there?
  Ultimately, my question is, should I just put the Server in the DMZ or should I create the middleman, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction as to getting a webservice set up?

I tried both of these articles, I have a windows 8.1 tablet and both of the different "codes" worked but I tried my friend's iPhone and the camera viewport is just a black square or doesn't show at all... the problem seems to be that the pop up where you push "allow" or "deny" doesn't show up at all, this makes me think the trigger isn't "triggered".   These are the sites   I'm using HTML5 and Javascript, didn't do much modifcation yet, I just needed the basic web cam access, cropping, saving functions at the moment.     http://davidwalsh.name/browser-camera     http://mycodingtrick...ipt/webcam-api/
