busnut Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 G'day, i'm not sure if i've posted in the correct section, if not, I apologise. What i'm looking for is to have something where if somebody doesn't always have access to the net or whatever the case is, is to have a database/program where they can access the most recent uploaded info, and when they are online, it will check against the mysql database, and anything updated will be uploaded to their computer or whatever device they are using (if that makes any sense so far). Anyone have any suggestions, or know of something that is out there that I can use?

Adam Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Right now there's no real solution to this that I know of. The only way you can store anything on a users computer is by cookies, however they're only made for relatively small bits of data - nothing to this extent. Actually one of the aims of HTML 5 is to bring this element of caching to the web.

Why I was asking is a friend has a cd-rom thats been installed on his computer full of aviation info, and when he opens the program, it checks the web for new information and then downloads the new info to his computer, so I thought this might have been some simple and easy process.

Adam Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Oh. Well with web based applications, there's no current way of doing this (that I know of). I would have thought the autorun.exe file on the CD-ROM calls/performs this operation - but that'll be a lower-level programming language such as C, C++, etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/175180-offline-database/#findComment-930717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
