CodeIgniter + PhoneGap...

[Michael Cabus]

Hi
  I have written an app using CodeIgniter...

I want to get at local mobile features like adding things to the calendar..

Can I use both PhoneGap and a PHP framework, like CodeIgniter?

Thanks so much,

Michael

You can't use PHP files within PG because PHP is a server-side language and there is no server in PG to parse PHP.

Too bad; so data intensive apps need to be native; makes sense.

Thanks

Data intensive apps can be done in Cordova.
But you can't write them in CodeIgniter or other PHP frameworks.

You could use CI/PHP on the web server to generate your dataset in JSON
format, and have the Cordova app load it via AJAX. Tthe Cordova app
would query via network, to your custom endpoint.

Or you could use CI/PHP on the web server (even if that's localhost on
your PC) to generate your dataset and dump it to a JSON file, then
download and copy that JSON file into your application's "www" folder,
and load it via a typical <script> tag:
<script src="dbdump.json"></script>

Or you could do a hybrid approach: Have a CI/PHP endpoint which
generates a JSON dump, have your app capable of downloading and saving
this to a file via the File and FileTransfer APIs, and have your app
load from the on-phone database file. This way gets you flexibility to
work offline, and to fetch a new version of your DB via web.

So in my opinion, there's plenty of room for CI/PHP in your app's
development... just not ON the phone.

It's not a question about hybrid VS native, PHP is a server language, you can use it only on the server, if your app is native you build it with objective-c or java, if you app is hybrid you build it with html, css and javascript, there is no room for PHP on the client. You use PHP in your server, you can use the same server for hybrid or native apps.

As Greg said, your server should provide a JSON or XML and an webservice to get them through XHR calls
