Hi
I'm making an application that i need to talk to a website which will get the details from a database.
From what i've learned this is best to do via php to display the data through sql.
I was wondering if there is a way to restrict this information being only displayed to the application as i figured that most firewall applications could identify the url and display it to the user who could then share that url thus making the application redundant.
I thought that if i added a function on the website to detect the browser and display if only from the application but am wondering if its possible for me to specify/spoof which browser is being used ie define the browser as 'app-myapp' or something which then the website reads and is built in to the website, i can't think of the objects used to view the website currently.
Does anyone know?
What i originally planned was for my application to download a file containing a csv export from the database but that doesn't work so well for me anymore.
Thanks for reading
