I want to make a computer storage (online) Web Application with PHP/MySQL... I mean where we can keep all the data of computer and all its configuration, up-gradation, problem occured, solved problems and alerts for warranty expires..
Can any one give me the example link where i can gain some idea (The example can be on any platform). I just want to go thru its work-ability..
I gone thru google, but nothing worth..
This company does something like that in their software. It is called asset management. It appears to be done using PHP and Ajax as far as I can tell. I suggest researching Ajax for more info as you will need real-time tracking, i would think. http://www.dapperdesk.com/hd/logina.php

I'm new to using AzureDevOps to handle my team's development needs. Currently I'm faced with the question of how are we going to gather the requirements, change requests, suggestions or bug reports from the end users of our products, that are either deployed or under development.
My idea is to have a simple page that is linked with our Azure DevOps account, which can simply retrieve the list of projects, to help the end user set the category, and then simply email the request to one of the developers to be handled manually. Our end users are limited so this is not an issue of being flooded.
I've search google and others for a template / working example of such page to help me build it quicker, as I'm also very limited on time.
I'm sure someone has done this before. It's just a simple request page connected to DevOps.
Asking about Azure DevOps hosted on Microsoft cloud, with 5 active developer accounts working on 5 different projects. We also use Sharepoint and AzureAD for the company's internal use, and would like to limit the requests to only come from company employees. I tried looking this up, but couldn't find anything "ready made".
We had a similar problem where we wanted to let people access parts of ADO who dont have an Azure AD account. We need this because we are a large corporation with slow and complicated Active Directory processes...
I asked on server fault and found a little service called TicketStudio in the Marketplace that works good for us: https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/aveyaramrsoftwaregbr1612902674653.ticket_studio?tab=Overview
Long time reader first time asker, if my question is silly or missing info or miss titled lemme know and I'll fix it.
Okay, so I'm working at a community center for the next 8 weeks as a tech help assistant, I'm also a CS student.
They have a web application that is quite old running locally on an iis server (version 7). It's for keeping track of their members, events and registration It's written in asp.net and is using and Access database. They also have a wordpress website (php, mysql, apache) for advertising events and sharing information about what's going on in the community.
What they would like is to link their wordpress to the local application. I've been racking my brain about if this is even possible or not. I'm leaning towards not possible because the local application and shouldn't be outward facing as it has sensitive data on it and was not designed to be secure in the face of would-be hackers.
The only solution that I could think of is create a "walled off" section of the computer hosting the local application. Also an outward facing port that accepts incoming data from the wordpress site that is then passed onto the access database as an update (increasing a counter for the amount of people registered to a program). It needs to be possible for a file to have some kind of global (from the web) executable permissions and have all the other files on the localhost computer locked down from this global permission.
We would also need to be able to get 2 boolean values from the local app for the wordpress site. This is for if the program/camp/whatever is full and if the update was unsuccessful in the event of something going wrong. I'm just not sure if something like that is even possible and where to start with that. The most important thing is that it's secure.
If a secure API could work I have time to create something like that.
I don't have enough time to upgrade their local system to make it safe enough to be online because I have to run tech help sessions. I know that is the most realistic option.
Thanks very much

I think you've hit the nail on the head right there. It looks like you have a decent understanding of the situation but not of their internal app. The fact is that it's hard to scope something like this without getting in and getting details. Step 1 would be to see if you can talk to whoever it is that built the thing and get their feedback. It might be secure enough to expose some sort of connection.
Really there's not enough information here to determine a good answer, and you should be wary of anyone that says it's secure. There are a ton of factors that go into web security.
You might be able to throw together a basic RESTful API with authentication to send only to the wordpress site's IP. But if it's sharing the IP that information can be consumed by third parties so you'll have to decide if that is an okay risk.
I wouldn't try and expose everything and partition with apache. A basic RESTful API with authentication would be best at first glance IMO. That way you only show consumable data and limit what can be used.
I have a project using WAMP/EasyPHP and I want to produce it to my client as a standalone app so that he just needs one click to access the web page locally instead of running the WAMP/EasyPHP server and typing the IP address in the address bar etc. I hava Googled and found many solutions like phpdesktop, nightrain etc, but I want to use my existing technologies as well as my code. I want to know whether is it possible to create an executable which serves as an icon and upon clicking which starts the server(WAMP or so) and also instantly evokes the browser to fetch the URL of my application.
It sounds like you would be better off making a website here, that is what PHP is best at after all. If you have not already I suggest picking up a background text such as this one: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596157142.do to give you the basic knowledge but it should basically be a case of getting a hosting package, uploading your files and your database. Then you just need to add authentication so that only your client can see the website.
However if you have your heart set on a desktop app, I suggest: http://www.tidesdk.org/ it will be a more complex solution but allow you to build an app along the lines outlined here, just bear in mind that the first option is probably easier than this.
Alright, so here is what I am trying to achieve. I have a custom built Point of Sale done in VB.net. What I want to add now is a customer facing android tablet that shows the reciept as it's entered into the Point of Sale.
Brainstorming how to do this I came up with the idea to use a php hosted script (no problem as the POS has a mysql-php web backend on a local server) that would use server sent events to update the tablet. The issue I'm facing is I'm not sure how to update the server (and thus the tablet) from another client (this one being the Point of Sale).
I can't seem to find any examples other than clocks for server sent events, does anyone have a link to something similar or perhaps a better solution than what I came up with?
I had considered using an app like idisplay and just extending that way, but it doesn't support windows 8 which is what the POS is running. I also considered websockets, but I don't have a firm enough grasp of that to get it up and running. I could make an app for the tablet, but I don't really want to do that, most of my background with app development is on iOS and I don't personally like java as a development language.
EDIT 1: Alright, so I'm understanding better how I would need to make this work.
So far I have it working where I can input a $_GET variable to change the value and the next time an update is pushed it works properly. I just need to verify there's new or different data before it pushes the data.
Is there a better example than this http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/eventsource/basics/ concerning how to push updates on demand to the listening clients?
I need some guidance around how to develop the app I'm working on.
It's basically a backend system to manage photos and slideshows (eg arrange photos in albums, decide which ones to publish, update names and captions etc)
I would like to avoid giving the source code to clients but would like to keep the actual photos and thumbnails on the client's server.
I'm not sure what would be the best way to achieve this. In my mind the steps are:
a) client uploads a photo to MY site
b) photo is registered into my DB
c) the original photo is moved to client's server
d) thumbnails are generated and saved on client's server
then the public site:
e) install the public website on my client's server;
f) when a user is browsing the client's website, the script gets the list of images to show from my database, and gets them from the local server.
(hope I made myself clear)
basically the question is: what's the best way to give the client minimal/no access to the source code?
I agree with benjy, however, you can get away with using an API to manage the system specific calls, and just have an upload handler that communicates back to your API on the clints box, so they still have some code, it is minimal, and the code requires an API call to function. That way you reduce the DB need, and reduce the resources required to manage the clients code.
API is used to authenticate / manage communication while the upload / manage scripts handle the upload/image handling.
IMO, this seems a little unnecessary. What exactly is your concern about having the source code rest on a client's server? All you need is a signed license agreement between you and the client preventing them from doing anything with it.
Or, if you really don't trust them, just sell it as hosted software. No point in the above procedure, which is rather convoluted (no offense), when you can just have everything on one server.
Just my $.02.
You can obfuscate the code with a commercial tool like IonCubelink text, or you can develop your application and license it using a SaaS model, and provide an API for the client software to use.
Zend Guard, SourceGuardian, IonCube, and similar are other viable options if you cannot keep it local but want to make it difficult to find out what the "source" is.
