One evening I decided I wanted to add a form on to this site which would allow people to send messages directly to my iPhone. I already use Prowl to send Push messages to myself for various tasks such as monitoring websites and RSS feeds, along with the odd quote-of-the-day for good measure so it seemed the next logical step.
So with most of the foundations already in place on my server I’ve put together this simple page. I honestly can’t take all the credit because behind the scenes I’ve used ProwlPHP by Fenric over on github. If you fancy doing similar I strongly recommend you to check out the Prowl app in iTunes.
The Form
This is the simple HTML form which I threw together rather quickly, I hope you can forgive me for its simplicity. Its been a long time since I’ve delved into HTML so I had to look up one or two tags (just for reference of course!) but all being well it does the job. Behind the scenes does a POST of the form contents to a PHP script which it turn makes a cURL request to the Prowl API.
