PHP in disconnected mode
Hi to all,
I have a smooth internet site which is running LAMP. I whish my co-workers can use this site in disconnected mode. So i've installed WAMP on their windows laptops and the php scripts and some mysql datas. All is working ok. But _and you guess the problem_ ;) , the scripts and datas change often on the website. So, i'm looking for a php solution that could allow my co-workers to synchronize their data and scripts from the webserver when they get back an internet connection. Have you guys heard about some nice classe or project to do the job ? regards, f.

Re: PHP in disconnected mode

neither the scripts, nor the database. I'm the only one who change the stuff on the main webserver. The system i'm looking for is "just" a uni-directional system (ie: from main webserver to colleagues' laptop webserver). I'd like they access a php script where they can choose to "refresh" their data and scripts. regards, f.

Provided the structure on the laptops can be safely overwritten without danger of data loss: What about providing a TGZ file and wget for automatic download? Some example from scratch (untested): on the main webserver, above /document-root-directory/to/pack/for/update: The options -p preserve permissions and -P Paths. /------- #!/bin/ksh tar -cvpPf file.tgz /document-root-directory/to/update mv file.tgz /download-directory/for/the/laptops \------- Shell-Script on the laptops (may as well react directly on your TGZ-hosting source being reacheable) /--- refresh.ksh ------------ #/bin/ksh alias which='/usr/bin/which' # just for alias wget=`which wget` # portability on alias tar=`which tar` # different distros cd /the/laptop/target/root-directory wget http://your/path/to/the/file.tgz && tar -xzf file.tgz rm file.tgz \---------------------------- to call the script within PHP, if needed: /--- refresh.php ------------ <?php print <<< END <html> <head> </head> <body> updating Structure...<br> END1; $RESULT=`refresh.ksh`; print <<< END2 <hr> <pre> $RESULT </pre> <hr> DONE<br> </body> </html> END2; ?> \----------------------------- Greetings Torsten Kaiser

The data replication is a bit more complex. C.

Re: PHP in disconnected mode
> What about SVN or rsync?
well, the latops are running windows so the only softs allowed are php+apache+mysql (and no, i won't install cygwin to rsync or svn ;) ). I would like a php script running on their webserver where they could choose wich part of data from main webserver they want to download (scripts + mysql datas). I really start thinking about building something that doesn't exist yet ? regards, f.

Why would anyone want to build something which is already better implemented elsewhere (AFS, rsync, unison, mysql replication, pushite, weex, sitecopy, ftp-www, intermezzo, CVS.....) ? C.

SVN clients are available for almost every platform, some with a GUI, some command line tools. This could most likely be setup in a way that your clients just have to click something on their desktop (e.g. batch file) to get their local working copy updated, maybe even their DB. >I would like a php script running on their webserver where they could >choose wich part of data from main webserver they want to download >(scripts + mysql datas). > >I really start thinking about building something that doesn't exist yet ? Why reinvent the wheel in this case? Your own solution will never be as efficient and reliable as the existing ones. Don't forget that one of the major strengths of SVN and others is that only the parts that have been changed will be transferred. If you just change one line of code in a 1 MB project, only that single line and some control data will be sent to the clients instead of the entire project. This saves a lot of time and traffic. And the same can be done with MySQL dumps if real replication is not possible. Micha
