hello,  just curious if anyone has ever used php to pull any kind of info from a blackberry?

 

im trying to pull something unique  from a blackberry like a pin number .

Php is server side so not going to have access to any hidden info on the Crackberry unless the unit sends it to the server (either as part of the web request or as something returned by a javascript function).

 

All the best

PHP can be used for allot more than server-side web applications though don't foget.

i actually found a way to do it.

 

$pin=$_SERVER['HTTP_RIM_DEVICE_ID'];

 

my pin isnt showing yet, something to do with an mds setting.

Interesting. Seems there is a setting to put the info into the HTTP header:-

Seems to depend on using the Blackberry Enterprise Server.
