How can I get the registrationIDs from clients using php? - php

Question

Who can tell me how can I get the "$registrationIDs = array( "reg id1","reg id2");", mentioned in the following code, which is posted here GCM with PHP (Google Cloud Messaging)
<?php
// Replace with real server API key from Google APIs
$apiKey = "your api key";
// Replace with real client registration IDs
$registrationIDs = array( "reg id1","reg id2");
// Message to be sent
$message = "hi Shailesh";
// Set POST variables
$url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';
$fields = array(
'registration_ids' => $registrationIDs,
'data' => array( "message" => $message ),
);
$headers = array(
'Authorization: key=' . $apiKey,
'Content-Type: application/json'
);
// Open connection
$ch = curl_init();
// Set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
//curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode( $fields ) );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode( $fields ));
// Execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
// Close connection
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
//print_r($result);
//var_dump($result);
?>

You need to build a Web page that the app can use to communicate the RegID, once the app receives the RegID. You'll have to introduce some kind of server-side storage (a database, a file) that the RegID will be stored in.
Depending on your business, you might want to accept some additional parameters. POST form is a good place for those.
Then in the app, once you get the RegID, you perform a HTTP request, passing the RegID along. Word of caution: don't call HttpClient from the main thread. Use an AsyncTask, or spin a new Thread.
