Title: Sending from Magic 4 to webserver running php script using http GET?
Post by: rjh008 on December 13, 2023, 12:26:34 pm

Hi, Magic 4 is working fine for sending RDS to the 164 Encoder I am using connection 1 with TCP that is connected and working. I now have a DAB encoder that needs to read the now playing from a text file on a webserver. I have a PHP script that runs on the webserver but I cant figure out how to send the same info that is going to the RDS connection1 to HTTP Push.
I have set up a Bridge connection but its not receiving / sending as far as i can tell...

I think your setup only requires a few corrections:

1)
In the External Text tool, section Output, add following line:
sendto "DAB"

Explanation: Bridges are not included automatically when you fill the *

2)
In the DAB connection properties, remove the line sendto *, as you only need to send that text to the http server

I have tried and it's worked.
