将数据从服务器发送到iPhone应用程序

Question

I want to add a messaging feature to my iPhone app but I am not sure how to send the data to an iPhone once the sender submits the message.

I am using a PHP webservice to receive the message and add it to a database but from here what would I need to send the message onto the receivers iphone running the same app?

If you are talking about a native iPhone application, I would recommend using the Apple Push Notification Service and react to those messages within the application.

There are some PHP libraries for using the Apple Push Notification Service:

• php-apn : Needs to be built as an extension. Wraps C code and leverages libcap.
• ApnsPHP : Pure PHP implementation with Objective-C code examples as well.

Here is a working example from a previous Stack Overflow post on how to send a simple message using APNS .
