Hi, thanks for your reply...

The second pro is:

Is there a need to create a different wml deck id? Can i use a create.php file to create a wml file which the deck id is same...

If you have more than one card in a deck, you need unique card id's. The deck names can be the same across the site.

One more thing, is english your primary language?

I had tried to put the file(.htaccess) with the code below into cgi-bin which the search.cgi is located.

AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml cgi
AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc

BUT, the problem still cannot be fixed?
It prompt the error message:-
Unsupported Content-type: text/html

why? Am i put the file wrongly or the code inside .htaccess??

Can please help, this is urgent....thanksssss

***I use search.cgi to process a search in wap....

Hi,
I'm using ASP on 2000 Server to generate database driven WML pages. Your problem is b/c you didn't set the MIME type of the page to text/wml or the other type (you mentioned b4). You should either set the extension pf your generated file to be of that MIME type, or set the type inside every page. I know how to do it in ASP, not in php, but the idea is the same.

HI,

Sorry, but I'm currently looking for material on this matter (SMS and other push technology). You seem to have some basic knowledge, can you point me to resources on utilizing SMS through servers?

Thanx.

Here's how you send the Content-type in php.

<?php

header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml");
echo("<?xml version="1.0"?>");
echo("<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">");

?>

Hope it helps,
