Can I use lovefield for syncing to the database when there is internet?

[abbey....@gmail.com]

Ok, so I have a web application built with core PHP, I am trying to add the following functionalities to it:
When Internet connection is lost, save data on client side and ones Internet returns the data should reflect on the data base on server.

Help heads up ?

Having written a browser-based inventory system that works equally well with or without an Internet connection, I recommend the following:

1.  Use lovefield to store the data locally.

2.  Use UUID's for primary keys so you don't get record clashes.

3.  Do all of the UI processing on the front-end.  Don't generate HTML on the back-end.  (Communicate with REST.)

4.  Use https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/ to make your app run when there is no Internet connection.

Thanks for the swift reply, if I'm getting you right, I need to create a rest API for the web app I developed(in core PHP) and no HTML should be generate?

Yes, that is true.  I've not done much with PHP, but I think it's about the worst choices possible.  I believe PHP is big on generating HTML on the backend and small on REST services - exactly the opposite of what you need.

(As a self-serving side note, you may want to have a look at my own framework.  It is architected as I am suggesting.  kissweb.org )

Kiss looks lovely to use, do you think it would be easy to implement kiss into the hotel management system I built in php or I need to start from scratch?

[Blake McBride]

Thanks.

Kiss is basically a REST server that also serves up static pages.  The JavaScrip static pages are processed on the front-end.  If you are producing HTML on the back-end, there is no way to make it work without an Internet connection because you depend on the back-end to generate the HTML code on-the-fly.  For this reason. if you want to make your app work offline, you may be forced into a re-write away from PHP.  Sorry.
