Receiving data chunk from a socket

[gmrobert]

I am thinking about writing a conduit to sync data from a Palm OS PDA to a Web based app.

Using the Palm OS SDK I can open a socket and send and receive data, or I can send via http/https.

I have done a bit of php but only with forms, does anyone have any pointers for how to write php to receive chunks of data that are sent directly via a socket?

Thanks

Also if I want to mimick a FORM POST function from a browser client does anyone know how to format the data chunk so it looks like form data. This way I could prototype my send/post functions with a standard browser.

Thanks

With CURL you can do neat stuff like that.

I havent messed with sockets so much so I cant help with your first question..
