Android Question Append a line content to a Remote File with php

[trepdas]

Hello again good people,

is there a way to add a new line into a remote txt file with b4x ? (yes)


I could download it, add my text and upload it with ftp (with writing rules).

Is there a better/smarter way?

?

It depends on the server. That's all that I can say based on the provided information.

If you switch to a VPS, you can use B4J to implement a simple server that does it.

With a shared hosting you will need to do it with PHP.

Yes I was expecting that answer , unfortunately.

I also assume that I can't use JRDC2 either to connect to my remote sql server because of that.

so if I want to handle sql queries I'll have to use JdbcSQL.
correct?


THx

No. You will need to use a PHP script.

ok. So I created a php file that looks like this :

<?php
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, ' this is text was added by a user app ');
fclose($fp);

and now I need to call it from the b4x app. in which method should I use to call it?
Webview?
httpjob?

a sample example will be very much appreciated
?

[B4X] OkHttpUtils2 with Wait For

 

[trepdas]

? ? ? ?

 

[trepdas]

how would I call http://domain.com/mypage.php with okhttputils2 in order to execute the php and get a success boolean when done?

 

[Erel]

I can help you with B4J, not PHP.

 

[trepdas]

I have no problems with the php. it works and functioning. I'll try to call it with okhttputils2 with something like :

 job2.Initialize("Job", Me)

  job2.PostString("http://www.mydomain/mypage.php", "key1=value1")

this should execute the php page I hope
