Wow, tons of questions. Well, XHTML will work, and can be read by a WAP browser.. This forum is a PHP one, not HTML. I don't know that much about PHP, but am learning.

You can allways start with notepad but you need to know html, here is the first lines for making a wap page
Quote:
| <?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<head><meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="max-age=30" forua="true" /></head>
<card id="card0" title="choose a title">
<do type="prev" label="Back"><prev/></do>
start coding here
</card>
</wml> |

But try on google for programs, much easier

xhtml is leterally the same as wml isnt it? And you can put xhtml on webspace that doesn't support wml (.htaccess problems)?

You can use xhtml as any html page on your site, no problems at all. The problems start when you want to download thing through wap, as the server needs to have a few extra lines of code for it to work.

Does that mean you can use MS Frontpage to create a xhtml page then?

Jim, your tag is already closed in the line with its values already stated, no need to close it on another line.
Your first line tells the browser to follow strict xml adherence and as thus with the code you posted here you would get an error.
There is lots of free windows editors that you can get at downloads.com, and if your using IE 5.0 then your ok for parsing that xml/html code. But it doesn't follow internet standards and so many coders follow microsoft (no capitals intended). Try using Mozilla Firefox (free browser) for parsing your HTML XML code but you can also download an extension that will allow you to parse WML code within it. I've done it many times this month.Haven't posted with it enabled but will soon enough. |

Ok, let me explain this better, now that I have a PC available. 
PHP is it's own programming language that can enhance other languages...You want to learn some other web language before even trying to learn this. ASP allows you to add stuff like databases for chat.
WML is the easiest, but will only work on phones...(All web capable phones too, to be exact)
xHTML is harder that WML and similar (almost identical to HTML) and will work on a PC browser, but will only work on newer WAP 2.0 capable phones. Another plus to xHTML is that you CAN edit the pages in frontpage, but I believe you WILL need to know the actual languge too. (I don't use xHTML, since my phone doesn't support it)
With web hosting, for WML and xHTML, your server has to be set up to support these types (which is very uncommon to find REAL good hosts for mobile sites)
But if you can get PHP hosting, you don't have to have the server set up for mobile support, as you can define it in your PHP page.
(In other words, just using a few lines of PHP and the rest WML can be easier)
For mobile forums, there aren't really any, other than simple guestbooks...but I do have my own I have been working on, if your interested or want more help, just PM me.
I can help you all you need with PHP and WML, and I do also know (just not as well) xHTML and ASP (ASP is like PHP).

You DON'T need to have a server that supports xhtml, as it is exactly like html. If your server does not support xhtml, then you can't display regular sites! To run xhtml, and replace the <html> tag at the top of your html site:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
-----------------------------------------------
Remember that xhtml for phones is basic, and does not support tables, font changes, or scripts. Only basic html will work.
e.g:
copy this into notepad and upload it to your server (you can also go to http://wap.johnex.se to try it):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>SITE</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Welcome</h1>
<p>
From this site you can download ringtones, pictures and themes for your mobile phone.<br />
</p>
<p>
<a accesskey="1" href="LINK">LINK1</a><br />
<a accesskey="2" href="LINK">LINK2</a><br />
</p>
</body>
</html>
