Display POST information without storing in database

[ronpaul]

Hi,

Webapp noob here.

 

I have an application that is going to be data-heavy, so I would like to avoid saving things to the database whenever possible. The application in a nutshell is an android application wired up to a php web app(with MySQL) where you can send requests to the phone and the phone will respond with text or image data with POST.

 

The normal way to do this would be for the phone to post the data to the database, then have the webapp display it. However, what im wondering is if it is possible for a user on the webapp to request information from the phone, and then when the phone replies using a POST to display the information temporarily in maybe a popup window instead of having to save it to the database.

 

 

Thanks!
