Connect php with phonegap?
I am making an app using phonegap and it allows .html form but we require .php format files so from will we use a server for php.
After making index.html page on phonegap, I am not getting any examples or hint to connect phonegap with php.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css"></style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function post(){
var first = document.getElementById("first").value;
var second = document.getElementById("second").value;
var formdata = new FormData();
formdata.append("first", first);
formdata.append("second", second);
var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
document.getElementById('ans').innerHTML = 'Loading...';
ajax.addEventListener("load", completeHandlerrrr, false);
ajax.open("POST", "http://localhost/phonegap/app/post.php");
ajax.send(formdata);
}
function completeHandlerrrr(event){
var hh= event.target.responseText;
document.getElementById('ans').innerHTML = hh;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="first" name="first" />
<input type="text" id="second" name="second" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" onclick="post();"/>
<div id="ans"></div>
</body>
</html>
post.php
<?php
echo $_POST['first'];
echo $_POST['second'];
?>
Answer
Phonegap is a mobile app development framework that uses HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Cordova for native features. On the other hand, PHP is a server side scripting language that requires infrastructure on the server. You can't use PHP directly, but you can use the results of a PHP page from a remote server by using an Ajax call in your JavaScript file.
