WAP CSS / WCSS Tutorial

WAP CSS / WCSS Tutorial

WCSS (WAP CSS, also known as Wireless CSS or Wireless Profile CSS) is the cascading style sheet language that is used with XHTML MP. It is based on CSS2. Like XHTML MP, WCSS is defined in WAP 2.0.

At the beginning of our WCSS tutorial, we will mention about what WCSS is, the advantages and disadvantages of using WCSS on your WAP site, WCSS's syntax, etc. After that we will look at different ways to apply WCSS cascading style sheets to XHTML MP documents, WCSS selectors, and some of the commonly used WCSS properties. The last part of our WCSS tutorial includes an in depth coverage of the three WAP specific extensions to CSS2 and a brief discussion of how to detect the type of a user agent and apply the appropriate WCSS style sheet to it.

Generating WML Pages with PHP

Generating WML Pages with PHP
Using PHP to create a WML page

If you have decided to have a WAP version of your website and you want to make it dynamic, you can use PHP to generate your WML pages. In order to view WML pages you should download and install a phone emulator from Phone.com, Nokia.com or somewhere else. You can also use a WAP enable cell phone.

You should first make sure that the server your website is on can serve WML pages. (I am assuming it to be Apache) If the server doesn't know how to handle a .wml file, you can add it your Apache configuration or create an .htaccess file that adds the file type to a specific directory.

Sample .htaccess file
addtype text/vnd.wap.wml wml
addtype image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc

This series of articles describes how to provide Web content to mobile devices through WML (Wireless Markup Language). This article covers variables and beginning scripting with WMLScript. Future articles will cover more advanced scripting and how to integrate other technologies such as PHP to make your pages more flexible.

Working with RAR, LZF and BZ2 Compression Formats in PHP


RAR support in PHP comes through PECL's ext/rar extension, which is maintained by Antony Dovgal and provides a function-oriented read-only API for listing and extracting RAR archive files. The LZF extension, maintained by Marcin Gibula, allows for LZF compression and decompression, while the Bzip2 extension allows for Bzip2 compression and decompression.

PHP file from an onsubmit

You cannot call a PHP file from an onsubmit, only javascript files.
What you can do:
echo "

";
echo "

When you submt, it will load the page again, do a check at the top of the page:
if (isset($_POST["sendchekc"] && $_POST["sendcheck"] == "ok")
{
$delme = mysql_query("update preorder set deleted='1' where preord_prodno='" . $_POST["preprodno"] . "'",$con) or die('Sorry Dear! product could not be deleted : ' . mysql_error());
}

If you don't want the page to reload, look for an AJAX method ...
