How to send push Notification to iPhone from PHP (web services/API)

Hello Developers,
   If you want to send push notification from php to iPhone application then create a new file with iphone_push.php and save it in your api folder. Paste following code in file :

 <?php
function pushnofitication($deviceToken, $message)
{

// Put your device token here (without spaces):
$deviceToken = $deviceToken;

// Put your private key's passphrase here:
$passphrase = '12345';

// Put your alert message here:
$message = $message;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'apns_cert.pem');
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);

// Open a connection to the APNS server
$fp = stream_socket_client(
'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
$errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);

if (!$fp)
exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);

// Create the payload body
$body['aps'] = array(
'alert' => 
array (
"body" => $message,
),
'sound' => 'default',
);

// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = json_encode($body);

// Build the binary notification
$msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;

// Send it to the server
$result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));

/*if (!$result)
echo 'Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;
else
echo 'Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL;
*/
// Close the connection to the server
fclose($fp);
}
?>

For this you need a .pem file. Get this file from your iphone developer and save in your folder with name apns_cert.pem. While create pem file firstly they create .cert file. After create .cert file they need to enter a passphrase to create .pem file. so also you need to change passphrase.

The Above code is for sandbox mode when you app is live then replace .pem file and change url with live so your push notification is also work with live app.

When you want to send push notification include this file in your file and call function :
pushnofitication($deviceToken, $message)
$deviceToken : device token in unique id of iphone so when you register user get this token and save it in database. When you send push notification get this token from database and pass in this function.
$message : Message which you want to show in notification.

How to Create Registration Web Service (API) in Wordpress

Hello Developers,
   Sometimes we want to register user from Iphone or Android Application. for that you can create a file in your root directory

like

create a folder named "api" in your root directory
and create "register.php" file in this folder
then your url like this www.webtecso.com/api/register.php

for registration you need to pass argument

• Name
• Email
• Password
• Username (if your username same as email then no need to pass this parameter)

then your PHP script is look like below :-

<?php
require ("../wp-load.php");
if ( $_REQUEST['names'] != "" && $_REQUEST['emails'] != "" && $_REQUEST['password'] != "") {
global $wpdb;
if ( !username_exists( $_REQUEST['emails'] ) ) {

$device_id = $_REQUEST['device_id'];

$name = $_REQUEST['names'];
$user_login = $_REQUEST['emails'];
$user_email = $_REQUEST['emails'];
$user_pass = $_REQUEST['password'];

$userdata = compact('name', 'user_login', 'user_email', 'user_pass');
$user_id = wp_insert_user( $userdata );

if ( $_FILES['image_url']['name'] != "" ) {
global $wpdb;
//For Uploading photo from front End
if (!function_exists('wp_generate_attachment_metadata')){
require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');

echo json_encode( $ar );
exit();
}
} else {
$ar = array ("reg" => 'false', "msg" => "Require Field Missing");
echo json_encode( $ar );
exit();
}
?>

this will take url as follows :-
