biggieuk Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hello, I am attempting to develop a personal project that can store details (and maybe a google map pin location) of shipwrecks around the coast of an island. This project would require: - The ability to enter details whilst on or offline. - Store the details to a database. - To be used on multiple computers. - Eventually the details will be available to my iPhone whilst out and about. I am a php web developer so would ideally like this to be browser based (PHP /MYSQL) but then I would not be able to enter the details whilst offline? Can anybody suggest any ideas/ methods I can use to carry out this project? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus72982 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Just have it store offline information in a file and then when it discovers a connection online it can update the online database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggieuk Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 What type of programming language would be best suited to this, bear in mind that I am comfortable with PHP. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasC1 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Probably PHP. If you go to something like C or C++, you're going to have to change the way you think. Arrays behave entirely differently, as do many other things. So, unless you want to do a lot of learning, I would recommend sticking with PHP, if that's what you're comfortable with. -jm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
