I kind of dove into the whole bitcoin/p2pool/LAMP thing late last week, so i'm sure i'm in over my head here.
I have read over https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/PHP_developer_intro and https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC) which are great, but don't really provide much info for the complete newbies.
I'm stuck at "Hello World." i followed the instructions. But I would like a little more detail/instruction of proper placement and implementation of the JSON RPC Client and Server. When following the instruction, i get the below response in the browser. [I do change the username/password/port info].
Response i get
Code:
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php'; $bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://user:[email protected]:8332/'); echo "
\n";
print_r($bitcoin->getinfo());
echo "
";
\n";
print_r($bitcoin->getinfo());
echo "
";
I'm also looking for advise on retrieving the information. Example, i want to post info from bitcoin and post it on a site. Would it be more practical to have my webpage (PHP) pull the information directly and post it on the page? or would it be a better idea to have Python (or even PHP) running in the back-end updating a mySQL database, and the website pull the information from the DB?
***EDIT***
Sorry, i should have mentioned i am using bitcoind, p2pool on a Ubuntu LAMP machine.
bitcoin and p2pool are configured correctly and i can mine locally.
