How to push to iphone / android phones via php
-
How can I use a php script to push to an iphone or android phone? What I am thinking right now is to have a php script that will run every 15 minutes on a web server, check if case x is satisfied, if not push a notification to the phone. How can this be accomplished if its even possible? If not what approach should I take to achieving this? Any links or break downs would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:
If you want to send the notifications yourself, you'll need to read up on sending push notifications to each platform. http://stackoverflow.com/q/1378671/643383 address sending notifications on Android. http://vxtindia.com/blog/push-notifications-for-your-iphone-app-with-php-and-ubuntu/ is one of many in addition to Apple's docs that explain the process for iOS. If you use a third party service like Urban Airship, you'll need to look at http://urbanairship.com/resources/ instead.

If you want to setup your own server for push notifications, you should take a look at http://www.easyapns.com/. It's a PHP library for push notifications which is very easy to set up and customize.

http://code.google.com/intl/ru-RU/android/c2dm/ is used to push notifications to Android devices. You can develop server part yourself or use existing service such as http://urbanairship.com/. It allows you to send pushes to both Android and iPhone but you'll have to pay for it.
