Arduino with Ethernet Shield and PHP Server = Automation

Home automation set up part 1: Successfully activating the Arduino with an Ethernet Shield. SUccesfully light up LEDs and control 12v devices with Arduino. Link Arduino Web Server with PHP Web server overlay using nicer GUI SPECIAL THANKS to SaSaa for tips and tricks, tehjrow for the AWESOME PHP GUI!! Thanks to other folks from Arduino.cc Forum for the ideas and help, and thanks to Kevin Johnson for the FETs.

ip: 192.168.77 is your ethernet shield IP?. So let me gues, your arduino act as a client that access to your local server (IP: 192.168.1.3).Is that right?

@thariqhadad Somewhat correct, The Ethernet shield just stays idle most of the time. The local server is what the phone and web browser access, then the local server access the ethernet shield to retrieve ON/OFF status of lights when someone access the web server. If a command is sent, then it send it to the ethernet shield.

This process is too much... so in my new set up in my new video, it bypasses the local server and just serve everything on the Ethernet Shield... making it simpler.

Great Job !

But can you please tell us how did you get the php webserver up and running into your Arduino plateform ?

[vinhtvu2]

@youssefvideotube Ethernet shield doesn't have capability to run PHP, it only has HTML interface... so I run another local server that handle the PHP part...

@vinhtvu2 hey men, good video. let me ask? ethernet shields cant' run a PHP, but only has HTML interface..what do you mean by that?

[vinhtvu2]

@admin03141 It means exactly that. The arduino ethernet shield will only be able to host HTML websites.

The Ethernet shield is way cooler than I thought.

@paulwall0007

Arduino boards are around $30-60 Canadian dollars (about the same in USD). a basic google search will find you plenty of info...

[paulwall0007]

and can you please tell me the price of the pbc Arduino ?

[paulwall0007]

whats are the connectors called that you use on the end of the cables ?

[MsEnriqueGomez]

how make you the chart that you can see how client for change the LED state?

[AKSoapy29]

How much is RFID? I'd really like to try this with my Arduino.

You're PHP including() a URL? Not the best idea, probably worth changing to be rid of your warnings.
