Use the HttpRequest()function! In the bananas folders you will find a sample code. |

Import mojo Import brl.httprequest Class MyApp Extends App Implements IOnHttpRequestComplete Field get_req:HttpRequest,post_req:HttpRequest Method OnHttpRequestComplete:Void( req:HttpRequest ) If req=get_req Print "Http GET complete!" Else Print "Http POST complete!" Endif Print "Status="+req.Status() Print "ResponseText="+req.ResponseText() End Method OnCreate() get_req=New HttpRequest( "GET","http://hub73.com/hopital/today.php",Self ) get_req.Send post_req=New HttpRequest( "POST","http://hub73.com/hopital/today.php",Self ) post_req.Send "Hello World!" SetUpdateRate 60 End Method OnUpdate() If KeyHit( KEY_CLOSE ) Error "" UpdateAsyncEvents End Method OnRender() Cls DrawText "Http GET bytes received="+get_req.BytesReceived(),0,0 DrawText "Http POST bytes received="+post_req.BytesReceived(),0,12 End End Function Main() New MyApp End many thanks ResponseText return nothing in my case ?!? any idea ? |

1. If you do not plan to send datas to your server, it is enough to use only one method: Use the "GET" method only. 2. Did the original code sample in bananas received something? 3. For which target do you build? HTML5 only allows to receive datas from the server where the HTML5 app was started. Try to communicate with XAMPP (localhost) first. |

1) just read the text displayed. 2) yes. Original code works fine. 3) html5. What is xampp ? why http://posttestserver.com and not http://www.posttestserver.com ? thanks. |
| ||
is there another way to do this ? i can create a text file on the server. Next is there a way to read it as 'Local Fichier:TStream = OpenFile (CTE_URL_FICHIER_SCORES$)' (blitzmax) ? |

Banana sample code How can the original banana code work perfect? If you start it on your computer as HTML5 target it must produce an error! This how it would work: You build your app "myapp" on the computer. Then you have to transfer the "myapp.build"-folder with a FTP application to your server directory http://www.hub73.com/hopital/... In the end it looks like: http://hub73.com/hopital/myapp.build/ and then call the app in a browser window: http://www.hub73.com/hopital/myapp.build/html5/MonkeyGame.html Now this app would work fine with all files on this server. Now this http-request would work: get_req=New HttpRequest( "GET","http://www.hub73.com/hopital/today.php",Self ) What is XAMPP? because this procedure is very inconvenient , you better download a free webserver, which runs on your windows system. During the development you use this server instead of the hub73. XAMPP can run php scripts as well as html pages. HttpRequest() works perfect with it. After installation you copy your server-folder into the C:\xampp\htdocs\ In the end it looks like: C:\xampp\htdocs\hopital\... Now you can start XAMPP and there you can start "Apache". Now you can call the php-script in your browser with... localhost/hopital/today.php then you copy also the build folder to xampp: C:\xampp\htdocs\hopital\myapp.build\ and you can call the app in the browser with: localhost/hopital/myapp.build/html5/MonkeyGame.html In the code you replace this adress: get_req=New HttpRequest( "GET","http://localhost/hopital/today.php",Self ) |
