Hello guys,

I'm so in need of help. I've been using xampp for one week now and I need a guidance on something ...
I'm creating a simple geolocation web server (Simple Long Lat Locator). Basically it can access by phone or support browsers and read its geolocation.
Well theoretically, I do understand that there are two sides : -

I/ server : -
a. Geolocation html scrip
b. php
c. mysql

II/ client (gps via browser)

What should I do with my html script... how do I connect with php to post the data (lat,lng)... and how to store the data to mysqlserver...

Really appreciate if anyone can help me on this.. I'm so new with all this stuffs...

what do you mean "by phone"?
Usually you reach a html-page. In your case you information must be send to (address ..)

Code: Select all

http://yourdomain.tdl/geo_get_page.php?parm1=DATA_TO_SEND1&parm2=HASHED_IDENTIFIER
//
http://yourdomain.tdl/geo_formular.php //or .html
//where the user has to enter location parameters.
