Hello
I need to look up a database in my app. I'll be doing it next week I
expect. For the moment the php just returns a constant.
<?php
$do = $_REQUEST['do'];
if ($do == "groupphone"){
$phone=trim($_REQUEST['phone']);
$phone=str_replace(array('.','(',')','-',' ','+'),'',$phone);
if (substr($phone,0,1) == '1') $phone = substr($phone,1); // remove
'1'
echo "error"; // initial testing
}elseif($do == "startgroup"){
echo "xyz";
...
the java that does the call to the php program on the server is...
public String callWebPage(String URLstring, String parameters){
String s;
try {
URL updateURL = new URL(URLstring+parameters);
URLConnection conn = updateURL.openConnection();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
Log.e("SettingsDialog", "after the call to web");
int current = 0;
while((current = bis.read()) != -1){
baf.append((byte)current);
}
Log.e("SettingsDialog", "back from web page"+parameters);
/* Convert the Bytes read to a String. */
s = new String(baf.toByteArray());
Log.e("SettingsDialog", String.format("in callWebPage =
%s ",s));
return s;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("SettingsDialog", "exception in callWebPage");
}
return "error";
}
And the setup of the URLstring is...s = callWebPage(Constants.WebCall,
"?do=groupphone&phone="+s); what the php script echoed is in s.
It seems to be very reliable.
It's worthwhile running your script from a browser first to make sure
that it works.
Good Luck
John
