PHP consult/assing values

How-To

Hello guys, I’ve done something interesting with thinger.io platform and PHP

I’ve consulted by a PHP page directly the thinger.io platform, here is the code that I used

<style type="text/css">
	body {
	    color: #555;
	    font-size: 14px;
	    font-family: "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
        padding: 80px;			
	}	

	title {
	    color: #555;
	    font-size: 20px;
	    font-family: "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
        padding: 80px;			
	}


	p.section {
		margin-top: 50px;
	}

	.button {
		color: #fff;
	    background-color: #428bca;
	    border-color: #357ebd;
	    border-radius: 5px;   
	    width: 70px;
    	height: 30px;
	}

	.button:hover {
		color: #428bca;
	    background-color: #fff;
	}



</style>

I didnt figure it out how to extract the value directly of the variable, so I had to make 2 variables, one as output, and put into the input field, and other as input, and send it by the webpage (and just make both equal in microcontroller’s code), when I refer to “input” and “output” I’m talking from the position of the microcontroller, and thinger.io variables.

Go ahead with faith :wink:
