Hello,

I developed an application for the iPhone by using a framework called iWebkit that utilizes html, css and javascript. I was able to put a feature in the app that searches a database by utilizing php and ajax.

The next thing I want to do is create an audit. On one page, a person flips a switch (yes or no). Depending on what they flip, the next page contains results. It seems I will need to use php and ajax again for this but I am not sure how to go about doing this. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Christian, firstly - welcome to webradiance.

I must admit, I am unfamiliar with iWebkit, however what you request is a simple html php ajax submitter. Essentially, all you require is;

A HTML form with form fields
Javascript (on the above page) to submit the form data to a php script (ie process_post.php)
This php page processes the $_POST parameters and returns a "response"

Ajax can be quite confusing to someone with little web programming experience. It is highly recommended that you are familiar with HTML and Javascript before diving head first at this, however - there are 100's of ajax tutorials on the net - a good starting out one is Tizags - http://www.tizag.com/ajaxTutorial/

Let me know if you need any further help!
