I had a few power glitches over the weekend at home. The power dimmed
slightly quite a few times and each time the router didn't always come
up. It's certainly running now if you want to try again.

What a cool feature!
I sent you a couple of test messages over the weekend, did you receive
them?
The webpage on mi4 said "Failed to Send" or similar, but the bit
of
text underneath said "this is what just happened" and described
the
process you list below.

I'm happy to test again if that helps.

Cheers,

Tim.

and a bit of HTML.

I have added a form to the homepage of mi4.biz where you can enter a
message for me. When you click send that message appears instantly on my
SLIMP3 above my monitor and this is how it works:

This is the html form on the homepage:

&lt;form
action="modules.php?name=Messageexample&amp;file=index&amp;func=send"
method="post"&gt;
&lt;input size="20"
name="stuff"&gt;&lt;input value="Send"
type="submit"&gt;&lt;/form&gt;

This sends the data collected from the input box to a php page on the
same server. That php page receives the data and sends it to my home via
another http request. The reason for doing this rather than just sending
the data straight to my home is that it hides my home IP address, which
is a good thing!

$curl_handle=curl_init('&lt;HomeIP&gt;/custom/On_FromWeb/index.xsp?'.urlencode($stuff));
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_PORT,&lt;Floorplan Web Port&gt;);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,5);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
$x=curl_exec($curl_handle);


On my xAP Floorplan I have made a custom web page to receive the data
and then send the xAP.

st=replace(getdata,"+"," ")
msg=replace(st,"\'","'")
if msg&lt;&gt;"" then
'send the message.display message
body="display.text" &amp; chr(10)
body=body &amp; "{" &amp; chr(10)
body=body &amp; "Line1=Message from the web" &amp;
chr(10)
body=body &amp; "Line2=" &amp; msg &amp; chr(10)
body=body &amp; "Priority=3" &amp; chr(10)
body=body &amp; "Duration=20" &amp; chr(10)
body=body &amp; "}" &amp; chr(10)
x=xap.sendxap(body,"message.display","ersp.slim.server:monitor")
end if


Hopefully it gives a little taster of what can be done and how easy it
would be to extend this to send other messages and do other functions.

So next time you're on mi4 you can say hi!

Cheers

James
