Hi All,
Hope I've posted this in the right forum as I will be using PH
I am currently in the process of designing a php based web site that will display info about new bands etc. The users will be able to add their own articles such as reviews, tour dates, photos, videos etc. There will also be a mobile site which will allow the user to add content from their handset. The mobile content will only be text at the moment.
I am wondering what would be the best backend to use on this? I am pretty familiar with MySQL but Im not sure how effective this is to use with mobiles? Im hearing so much about XML that it is an option Im guessing I need to look into.
From the mobile device, the user would be able to view text content like gig listings and then would be able to add content aswell. Obviously a login facility would be required on the mobile.
Any advice would be great, hope this all makes sense! :)
cheers

Backends are by definition "in the back" so whatever you use on the backend of the website doesn't matter. What you really need to look at is how you are going to design your front end so that the mobile phones browsers and little tiny processors do not have to do too much work.

A well designed CSS Page will pick up that it is being viewed on a mobile browser using the connection tag things (Sorry I can't remember their names, some kind of connection header) and will usually only display an essential text version of the site.

Hey
asp.net 2.0
I wonder if it's possible to have both standard asp.net and mobile asp.net
in the same web application. When the web server gets a request it can
detect if this requested comes from a mobile or not???.
Maybe there is setting in web.config specifying the default page if
requested by a mobile phone???

Hi all...
I need some help figuring out what sort of script is needed to first: detect if a viewer is coming from a mobile device and second: if so, redirect the viewer to the mobile site.
IIS Server
home site: site.com
mobile site: site.com/mobile
I have researched and found code to implement... but it was for an .htaccess file for use on APACHE.

I am reading some stuff in self paced course 728 about mobile applications.
But the first thing that comes into my mind is, why do I need to build

Cannot mobile browsers access normal websites? Should I copy almost a whole
server side application/website to a mobile device website, and double
maintain all changes in my web applications if I want to reach both mobile...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
