Possible to view PHP on my Axim x50?

kcnychief · 05-20-05, 12:19 PM

I am doing an inventory project using a website that has PHP menu's. The site is not functioning properly on my Axim x50, I'm thinking it might not support PHP. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

PHP is a server language. If you are just accessing a page from your Axim, and a page itself is located on remote server, you don't need any special support. If you are trying to run a page from your axim, then you need a server with PHP parser, which, I think, does not exist.

Correct. If the site is not functionning properly, it's probably due to some client-side PC-specific code, like Javascript.

PHP is ran on the server (NOT on your PPC) and generate a regular HTML page, which is sent to your browser, so no specific support is required on client side. But this "regular HTML page" can contain Javascript for instance.

An example of the page I am working on is http://trackit.crtct.org/crtassets/assets/addAsset1.php

I know this is a server side language, but when I get to this site on my Axim, I can't really use the menus.

right and I understand all of that, but still for some reason the PHP is not loading properly on PIE. It loads fine on a desktop...

That's because the menus are using JavaScript which is going to be a problem with PIE.

Out of NetFront, MultiIE, PIEPlus and FtxpBrowser, which one would be the best for utilizing JavaScript? I'm leaning towards NetFront...

The problem is probarbly not with the phpcode but with the javascript, from what I understand "pocket internet explorer" don't support javascript. It would probarbly work with Netfront

PIE doesn't have support for JavaScripts or DHTML that are used to create those menus. Try viewing your page with Netfront. Or change your page so that it wouldn't use any JavaScripts or DHTML.

There's a first time for everything :-) Normally I'm about two weeks late with comments and stuff. Got to go I've just heard Magneto has been officially announced!
