I’d like to develop an iphone application using my knowledge of PHP. I know of some frame works like appcelerator that maybe able to help (have problems installing appcelerator though). My question is, what framework do you recommend?
Also, I’ve noticed some apps appear to simply open a safari browser and run, what “type” of application is that? Do those apps have the ability to use native phone operations such as take pictures, geo-locations etc?
Thank you
You can develop web services for the iPhone/iOS in PHP, either for a online web app that runs under Safari, or for inside an online application’s UIWebView (see PhoneGap for an example).
But for developing a general purpose application that will run standalone and offline on an iPhone, you will most likely need to learn another programming language, such as Objective C or Javascript. And Objective C has the most complete API for using the iPhone’s built-in features, such the video camera, gyros, etc.
