PHP and HomeSeer

[pete]

I followed the how to's on setting up Apache and PHP to work with HS, but need some help coding web page. . . the form is working, it recalls it'self and I'm "connected" to HS (I can write HS devicevalues), however, I'm a newbie w/PHP

I'm trying to use a (recursive) form to set a HS device, and the best effort I've come up w/ is

if (isset($_POST"modeOff")) {
  hs->SetDevice "$7", 1;
}

but it's not working, specific help w/ this issue and general links to good tutorials on forms w/PHP in general appreciated.

I am not sure if I understand the issue, but did you try the ExecX10 command shown in this php how-to?

PeteC,
Is there a reason you chose to Learn PHP (not native to HS) over asp which is native to HS?

I'm trying to write a form page to access some Ocelot variables via homeseer . . .

I want to click an 'input type' and have the form set a variable and then re-display itself.

~ Rupp, going with PHP because it is open source . . . no I don't read the stuff, just like to know someone can.

here is what I have so far . . . included in the html comment is some asp code that did what I need to do in PHP

<?php 

include "header.inc";

$hs = new COM("HomeSeer.Application");

$hvacMode=$hs->devicevalue("$7")

$z1SetPt=$hs->devicevalue("$8");
$z1Temp=$hs->devicevalue("$46");
$z1Pump=$hs->devicestatus("_9");

$z2SetPt=$hs->devicevalue("$9");
$z2Temp=$hs->devicevalue("$48");
$z2Pump=$hs->devicestatus("_10");

$z3SetPt=$hs->devicevalue("$10");
$z3Temp=$hs->devicevalue("$50");
$z3Pump=$hs->devicestatus("_11");

$z4SetPt=$hs->devicevalue("$11");
$z4Temp=$hs->devicevalue("$49");
$z4Pump=$hs->devicestatus("_12");

$z5SetPt=$hs->devicevalue("$12");
$z5Temp=$hs->devicevalue("$47");
$z5Pump=$hs->devicestatus("_13");


THIS IS WHERE I'M LOST

if (isset($_POST"modeOff->x")) {
  hs->SetDeviceValue($7,1); 

} 

?>

<!-- 

THIS IS ASP CODE THAT WAS WORKING

if Request.Form("modeOff.x") <> nil then
  hs.SetDeviceValue "$7", 1
	elseif Request.Form("modeAuto.x") <> nil then
     hs.SetDeviceValue "$7", 2
	elseif Request.Form("modeHeat.x") <> nil then
     hs.SetDeviceValue "$7", 3	
	elseif Request.Form("modeVent.x") <> nil then
     hs.SetDeviceValue "$7", 4
	elseif Request.Form("modeCool.x") <> nil then
     hs.SetDeviceValue "$7", 5
    end if
