Hi, I have an app that uses the GCM framework and for it to work the way I want, I want to use my website to send notifications via php scripts. Could someone direct me to a script to do this? I've seen others but they don't include the board file url so I was thinking they wouldn't work and they don't. Could someone help?

You may need to tweak a few things but this should help you out.. I have used this and it works (after doing some tweaks)

Start off using Erels tutorial to register the device to the GCM server:
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-push-notification-gcm-framework-and-tutorial.19226/

Then follow this from around step 4 (which will help you send the message to devices using PHP):
http://androidexample.com/Android_P...php?view=article_discription&aid=119&aaid=139

There might be other ways in doing this, but I know a little while back I used this and it worked fine.

PHP:
function send_gcm_notify($Ticker, $message) {
	global $db, $file_handle;
	
	$url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';

	$dbname  = "xxxx";	$dbuser  = "xxxx";	$dbpass  = "xxxx";	$dbhost  = "xxxxx";
	$db2=new Database($dbhost,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpass);

  $regIDs = array();
  $sql = "SELECT * FROM c2dm WHERE name<>'' AND notification=1;";
	$queue = $db->getRows($sql);
	if (sizeof($queue) > 0){
		foreach($queue AS $q){
			$regIDs[] = $q["id"];
		}
	}
	$queue = $db->getRow($sql);
  $fields = array(
      'registration_ids'  => $regIDs,
      'data'              => array( "message" => $message, 'tickerText' => $Ticker, 'contentTitle' => "Title", "contentText" => "ContentText" ),
  );

  $headers = array(
      'Authorization: key=' . "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      'Content-Type: application/json'
  );

  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));

  $result = curl_exec($ch);
	fwrite($file_handle, date("d.m.Y H:i:s", time()).": Curl-Result: ".$result."\r\n");
  if ($result === FALSE) {
		fwrite($file_handle, date("d.m.Y H:i:s", time()).": Error: ".curl_error($ch)."\r\n");
    //die('Problem occurred: ' . curl_error($ch));
  }
  curl_close($ch);
}

I do this way(you should adapt it to your needs):

GCMSEND1.PHP:

B4X:
<?php
include_once './gcmsend.php';
$message = "test";
$regId = "123456789012365sdds";

$gcm = new GCM();
    $registatoin_ids = array($regId);
    $message = array("data" => $message);
    $result = $gcm->send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message);

?>

GCMSEND.PHP:

B4X:
<?php
class GCM {
    //put your code here
    // constructor
    function __construct() {
    
    }
    /**
    * Sending Push Notification
    */
    public function send_notification($registatoin_ids, $message) {
        // Set POST variables
        $url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';
        $fields = array(
            'registration_ids' => $registatoin_ids,
            'data' => $message,
        );
        $headers = array(
            'Authorization: key=AAAAA_BBBBB_CCC512', // Auth key
            'Content-Type: application/json'
        );
        // Open connection
        $ch = curl_init();
        // Set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        // Disabling SSL Certificate support temporarly
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
        // Execute post
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        if ($result === FALSE) {
            die('Curl failed: ' . curl_error($ch));
        }
        // Close connection
        curl_close($ch);
        echo $result;
    }
}
?>

When I try to run this with all of the fields corrected, I get this: Fatal error: Class 'Database' not found in /home/masonmilby/public_html/gcmsend.php on line 8

So I made a class and I need help on the auth key. For this field do I need a browser key or server key?
'Authorization: key=' . "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
