    Default PHP & WML

    I not sure who is into wireless website development. I am! Here is hoping that the following resources will help anyone interested get started. I only ask that you post whatever useful information you find in this thread.

    Building WML Applications Using PHP

    Converting Html to WML

    The previous is an ASP example, but i dont see why it cant be done in php.

    I notice that most modern devices display regular html well, even though it is not perfect I can still browse a HTML page. WML pages scale better on small devices though.

    You are right! Wml does scale better, it would be interesting to see how things turn. WML doesnt seem all that neccesary, but since it is written more specifically for wireless devices, in terms of display, buttons, etc. I see it still as a must if you want to professional cater to such devices. It makes tings less complicated for the mobile user.

    i really dont see wml lasting very long though "i know its been around for some time" but what i'm sayin is no device is delivered to the market withought an xhtml browser nowadays. why have an uneccessary language. the basic browses do a superb job of rendering html, php, asp pages on mobile devices.

    that should be easy, you just have to use input elements on a wml then use the php mail() to send the inputed data. I just put together a quick example of what the form would look like, it should be something like this:

    HTML Code:
    <p>
    <do type="accept" label="Send">
    <go href="sendmail.php" method="post">
    <postfield name="subject" value="$subject" />
    <postfield name="emailaddress" value="$emailaddress"/>
    <postfield name="message" value="$message"/>
    </go></do></p>
    
    <p>Subject: <input name="subject"/></p>
    <p>Emailaddress: <input name="emailaddress"/></p>
    <p>Message: <input name="message"/></p>
    This is just what the form would look like, you would have to make the sendmail.php script, etc.
