I have the Sharepoint Intranet server on the same nework as the Internet PHP Web server. I would like to know if via PHP SQL code I can access a collection list of PDF files from the intranet so it can be viewed on the Internet site.
SharePoint exposes a Lists web service to access List Items from a SharePoint List/Document Library. You should be able to use this to grab document URLs and get that as a byte array or something, which you could serve up in your PHP application. I'm not familiar with PHP, so I don't know what kind of web service support is offered, but you could always do it client-side with AJAX.

I'm new to phoneGap and I just found out, It doesn't accept php scripts.
My problem is I have a php script that returns information from a database.
When I convert the .php script to a .html script(with embedded php), the information is not returned to the browser.
What can I do to fix this ?
According to the PhoneGap FAQ, you can't use PHP with it:
Q: Can you use PHP/ASP/JSF/Java/.NET with PhoneGap?
A: A PhoneGap application may only use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
However, you can make use of network protocols (XmlHTTPRequest, Web
Sockets, etc) to easily communicate with backend services written in
any language. This allows your PhoneGap app to remotely access
existing business processes while the device is connected to the
Internet.
If using Windows Azure and an ASP.NET web site with PHP script to upload files, can I access those files from the server or must I use the Data Storage facilities?
i.e. I'd like to reference the files directly from html\server... etc. I think I probably should be able to.
Thank you.
How are you hosting your ASP.NET website. If it's hosted in a Web Role, then you won't have access to a persistent "standard" file system for that role. (especially if you've scaled over multiple instances).
Have a look at the following tutorial on using blob storage from PHP. http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/php/how-to-guides/blob-service/
You can use the blob storage quite easily to access them with standard HTTP links from your ASP.NET site. i.e.
http://your-storage-account.blob.core.windows.net/your-container/file.txt
I have an application that retrieves some info and give them to user from a certain public website. However, i am not sure whether i should let my app immediately connect to the target website or it should get the info through my web server using a simple PHP script (JSON).
Actually I am using Jsoup to get the information and I tried both and they worked perfectly ( immediate and PHP) using Jsoup. However, I have not published my app yet due to the confusion aforementioned.
Use the web service. If your client has logic to parse the HTML, it can break when the web page changes. The web service can absorb this change and make corrections, but your client cannot. Not unless you release another version of your app, and that can be a pain.
I have this tricky scenario and want so advice to you. My client have a website built in WordPress and a web application that was built in .Net 3.5 now they want me to integrate this too site by querying some information from the database that .Net is using and display the output on the said website.
Communication between the two site is complete and working fine using some DLL for PHP to integrate to MSSQL now the problem arises here, my don't want to expose he connection string on the website built on WordPress for security reason. Without this, I can't connect to the database and made some query so I propose some bright idea, using a web service to extract connection string from the web config of ASP.Net web application. Consuming of web service to PHP is working fine but the last issue is that the web service is expose in public. what I mean once the site launch online, the said web service is open to public and anyone can see thru the web config that my boss want to keep in secret (hehehe).
I'm already confuse on how to make the web service to be more secure. Below are some specification of the two websites.
WordPress Site
PHP based
Mysql
installed with php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll and php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll
nusoap (use to consume ASP.Net webservice)
Mysql for database using by WordPress
.Net Site
web service to extract connection string from web config
web reference added
MSSQL for database
Please let me know if you need more information regarding my problem.
TIA
you don't have to setup a web service for this. Just store the connection string in a php file outside of your web servers root directory (probably public_html) and then include that file within you plugin. You should hard-code the path, so that people with access to the setting can't use that functionality to spy on other files. Also make sure the web server service account has read access to that file.
That is a pretty safe setup as the file can't be directly accessed through the web.
I'm very confused as to how Apple intends iCloud to work with web apps; they stated that there will be web application support, but there seems to be no API to access iCloud files from anything other than a Mac or iOS application.
What I am trying to do is access a .md iA Writer file from a php based application. I have searched and searched but there seems to be no easy way of accessing the files a given app uploads.
Is there something really obvious that I'm missing?
There is no web API (yet). If your PHP script could access files written by other applications without the developer's file type docs, then you're bound to create incompatible changes. (I understand that Markdown is an open format, but I'm speaking more generically.) Applications being able to view and edit other applications' data could lead to UX issues or possibly security issues.
