Hi Douglas

Here is the example of how to send HTTP request with parameters from cocoa
http://deusty.blogspot.com/2006/11/sending-http-get-and-post-from-cocoa.html

just make a php script on web server side that reads POST/GET variables sent 
from cocoa application and output desirable content

inside cocoa application create request and modify parameters according to what 
you will process by php script

for example lets assume you send via http request 'option' variable

just set in cocoa  (see above mentioned example this string used there)

NSString *post = @"option=image";                       for image
NSString *post = @"option=quantity";            for quantity
NSString *post = @"option=description";         for description

And send to PHP script

On php script side get it:

        $option = $_POST['option'];

And output accordingly
        
        If($option == 'image'){
                //do something
        } else if($option == 'quantity'){
                //do something  
        } else if($option == 'desription'){
                //do something
        }


Cheers,
Rufat

Subject: php and cocoa

For those on the xcode mailing list I am not spamming or anything but on one of 
these lists xcode or cocoa, someone posted a link with an example of getting 
data from a php web page into objective-c

The responses I got on the xcode list while useful is not what I am looking 
for.  What I am beginning to look at is an app that will send a http request to 
a php page and display the results (an image, description and qty)

I plan to have a php page that will return (depending on what it received)

1. a link to a image (or the actual image) I am still thinking this out
2. a single numeric value (quantity available)
3. a description of the item (a string)

any advice or the above mentioned link would be greatly appriciated

thanks

dougc
