webguync Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Is it possible to have a php/mysql application that can be loaded locally and have a form submit results and then have the data stored somehow without internet access that can be submitted to a database when there is internet access available? I know this is an odd question, but this is what I am being asked to come up with if possible. I know there is a flash solution, but I would prefer to develop an HTML PHP/MySQL application if possible. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccabe Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I dont think so as PHP is a server side language so storing it locally wouldn't be an option, also when the internet is connected how you would then import the info in to the db. However I would wait for confirmation from someone more expert than I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Install Apache/php/mysql locally to save the data locally. To transfer the data online, use one of the many available methods - export/import .sql or .csv file, FTP transfer, CURL to post the data to a form...

webguync Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 thanks. I know that is one solution, but I don't think it will work for this purpose because of the hassle to install Apache/PHP/MySQl on multiple machines. Is there no other way just to store the values without the PHP/MySQL Interaction and when internet access is available submit those values into the database? I understand this is uncommon, but I have seen a flash application that works this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
