“Hello, World!”

<html> <head> <title>Hello, World!</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hello, World!</h1> </body> </html>

var mainMenu = Titanium.UI.createMenu(); mainMenu.appendItem(Titanium.UI.createMenuItem("File")); var menu = Titanium.UI.createMenu(); menu.appendItem(Titanium.UI.createMenuItem("Quit", function() { if (confirm("Are you sure you want to quit?")) { Titanium.App.exit(); } })); mainMenu.getItemAt(0).setSubmenu(menu); Titanium.UI.currentWindow.menu = mainMenu;

PHP in Titanium

<html> <head> <title>PHP Info</title> <script type="text/php"> date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago'); ini_set('default_charset', 'utf8'); ini_set('display_errors', 'Off'); function getPhpInfo() { ob_start(); phpinfo(); return ob_get_clean(); } </script> </head> <body style="background-color: white; padding: 10px;"> <script type="text/php"> $document->write('<pre>' . getPhpInfo() . '</pre>'); </script> </body> </html>

PHP caveats ‣ echo does not work as expected ‣ Titanium state transitions (links) do not send requests ‣ Pre-processed scripts (.php) are processed at compile/build time ‣ Cannot inject classes deﬁned in .php into runtime code with include/ require Desktop Apps with PHP and Titanium • Ben Ramsey 36

The client-server relationship does not exist.
