I hope I understand your question so I don't end up confusing you. But whatever the case, your locally hosted app can interact or talk to your online database and it is very simple. You simply need an internet connection and know the database url, username and password. With these information you can write your own code to transfer information between your locally hosted database and your online database in whatever fashion you want for the purpose of synchronizing.

Let me know if you need more help.

I think it feels a lot better when you know there's some knowledge or technical know-how that you lack. But when you check and think that everything was done correctly it just drives you crazy.

Send me an email ASAP talk2speedy@yahoo.com I am interested and can furnish you with sample apps i have personally coded.

lol!!! the feeling is worse than a broken heart i tell you mate

Na wa o! So much hostility here sha! To think that I was encouraged to join Naira Land. Mean while Dsypha if it is for your own learning purpose maybe you should make that clear next time that way people know how to take the competition. Because you asking for algorithm i started to wonder myself.

Indeed it should be a competition for beginners. A healthy competition always serves to improve the targeted skill. We should all be of good cheer.

Your question has two interpretations kind of. So please help us to break it down. Are you simply trying to transfer offline information to an online database, of which both the offline and online database are both run and administered by you? By this i mean you have access to relevant login credentials for the online database.

Or are you trying to automate a registration process on someone else's web-app using locally stored information?

Answer these questions in a clear fashion and I'm sure you would get more constructive answers from Naira Landers.

It would be nice for those our ogas being talked about to try soliciting sponsors like MTN, GLO, NIIT or any other IT related organization that would not mind a little more popularity. It might be a good try, not like anything is guaranteed. It is just kind of safe to believe that IT related organizations or institutions would appreciate the eandevor somewhat more. Just my opinion though.

What programming language did you opt for in developing your app?

Since you mentioned the word Application I already know that you are working with some programming language only i don't know which one you are working with. That being said, I don't know of any program that does what you ask for, maybe because I never really checked.

However, would it not be a lot easier for you to throw together some code that would first establish a connection to the local database holding the offline information and then establish a second connection to the online database where you want to transfer information to.

The first connection retrieves or queries the offline database for relevant information to be transferred and then the information is handed over to the second connection which is setup to write the queried information into the online database.

I am more of a java servlet person so i kind of avoided code specifics and just stuck to explanations.

Let me know if this helped.

Another option would be to use the fully qualified path name of the image wherever it is located on your computer or even the internet. Using this pattern would call the picture from wherever it is located on your local computer and if it is the internet you would need an internet connection. Example code below would pick the picture out from the desktop;

<img src= "C:\Users\java_servlets\Desktop\myImage" />

If you are developing with a local server then you copy the picture into the appropriate folder on the local server, then access the picture with localhost followed by the relevant path. Example below accesses the picture from a glassfish server bundled with netbeans

<img src= "http://localhost:8080/ems_app/image1.jpg" />


I hope this further complimented the relevant info posted by Talk2bryant. Send in more questions if you have any.
