Hi
I hope someone can help me, as I am trying to come up with ways to solve a problem.
The problem is i only have access to the database in the morning, and night(due to internet access unavailable during the day), and need to download data at the beginning of the day, perform a day's work, and then upload the relevant info once back at night.
Obviously it would be nice if i could access the php interface when offline, but of course I cannot, so i need to look at ways to achieve this.
What I have done so far, is implemented uploading data from a txt file into the remote database at night(this works). downloading a txt file of the data also works.
But I would like to use a web interface during the day to manipulate the data and output the text file to be uploaded. Or provide an option to upload, once i have internet connection at the end of the day.
I guess what i am asking, is has anyone attempted this? i considered writing a VB program for use during the day, but i would prefer something web based. is it possible to use just plain HTML forms offline somehow, or maybe i could utilise XML somehow? i really am looking for some pointers or suggestions, on which way to tackle the issue. If anyone needs more info, they can email me direct, and i'll try and explain it somewhat better than i did here 🙂
Cheers
Adam
