Hi all,
I have a simple stupid question. Here's the problem, for years, my company has been using the old WURFL PHP API. Now, with the release of the new WURFL PHP API that promises a better performance, we want to use it.
What I want to ask is, how do I update the cache? Can I use the old *update_cache.php*?
After several day searching for answer, it turns out that I can't use the old update_cache.php as it's incompatible to the NEW API. The new API have the auto refresh mechanism when it see the wurfl.xml is changed/updated.
If you're concerned about performance, you should look at Tera-WURFL, it was built on the new WURFL API and uses MySQL to provide extremely high device detection performance.
The WURFL is an XML configuration file which contains information about capabilities and features of many mobile devices. WURFL Web Service provides a RESTful interface to the WURFL database. If a user is writing a web application for mobile phones and needs to know the capabilities of a specific device, they can use this service to query the exact capabilities of the device without having to build an implementation of WURFL. Responses are returned in JSON format.
