B4J Question CloudKVS server to php-script

[Roger C]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about using the CloudKVS in a project but I want to use a hosted service I have, for the database. I can't have my own server for different reasons.
This hosted-server will not allow me to run java-code so I'm thinking about using a php-file that handles the connection between the app and the DB.

In a previous app I've used the code below to connect with the DB.

In the app:

Sub ExecuteRemoteQuery(Query As String, JobName As String)
    Dim job As HttpJob
    job.Initialize(JobName, Me)
    Log("main.erm: Query sent " & Query)
    job.PostString("http://www.xxxxx.se/db.php", Query)  
End Sub

And the file db.php:

<?

$databasehost = "xxxxl";
$databasename = "xxxxx";
$databaseusername ="xxxx";
$databasepassword = "xxxxxx";

$con = mysql_connect($databasehost,$databaseusername,$databasepassword) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($databasename) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");
$query = file_get_contents("php://input");
$sth = mysql_query($query);

if (mysql_errno()) {
    header("HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error");
    echo $query.'\n';
    echo mysql_error();
}
else
{
    $rows = array();
    while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($sth)) {
        $rows[] = $r;
    }
    print json_encode($rows);
}

Would this work for ClodKVS too?
If so, do I need to change anything in the code for B4A example?
The ServerUrl of course but apart from that? The rest looks like standard DB commands.

I need to get the password for the DB from a better place though. Anyone has any ideas about that?

No. CloudKVS is much more complicated and it uses B4XSerializator to serialize the data. It will only work with B4J jServer.

Ok. Thanks anyway
