php - Create web service for notification purpose? -

-

i have built ecommerce website in cakephp , mysql takes orders , stores them in db. i've been told need create web service sending notification desktop/via email alert of order given instantly , provide order details. need study on web services, soap, post etc. or can easier method? secure , fast response way of receiving such notification web application? in advance :)

a webservice useful other way round. if third-party entity wishes access website service without accessing html pages, yes in case, creating webservice on end useful.

i recommend instance see restful webservice interface stackoverflow/stackexchange understand concept: https://api.stackexchange.com/docs.

in case, can't see how webservices involved. if need send emails website, can done directly php mail() function, or using mailer phpmailer.

desktop notifications entirely different matter, because need client software. haven't dug pretty far in topic myself, here few pointers:

a popular desktop notification software macosx growl has been unofficially ported windows: http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/

there php api send messages growl clients: http://clickontyler.com/php-growl/.
