Can I use PHP?

Can I use PHP in tiggzi? Specifically I want to use it on the map widget. I want to use PHP's fgetcsv method to parse a Excel CSV file......Please advise. Thanks!

PHP is a server-side technology, so the answer is no. As you are building an HTML mobile app, you can use JavaScript.

I have a program in php and use the _REQUEST[ ] syntax. Can I deploy it in JavaScript?

// get sender, recipient fields
$subject = $REQUEST['subject'];
$text = $REQUEST['body-plain'];
...
...

Thanks!

Hello! array $_REQUEST contains HTTP Request variables. These variables are transmited to server (as PHP is a server language). JS executes in browser. So it's not clear what you want to get in your variables. Could you clarify it please (some fields values etc.)

I am going to write a program which receives the mail issued by mailgun. Here is their documentation.

In php, I can use the _$REQUEST to collect the http post generated by mailgun. I am not sure whether JS can do the same function.

Hi David,

PHP is for server programming. Tiggzi is for mobile apps developing.
To get mail via MailGun (http://documentation.mailgun.net/user...) on any server, create a Rest Service to be called when new incoming mail.
You cannot do it with Tiggzi, because Tiggzi is for mobile applications, not for server apps.

I see. Thanks!
