Google Geo Chart and Map Chart Hashtag SMS Tutorial

We’ve reached limits! Yes, researching for SMS sharing conduits within the macOS arrangement here, we believe for iMessage SMS messages there may be a length limit that kicks in around the 18k mark. Anyway, along the line, with SMS messaging (via hashtagging) in …

… further to the hashtag emailing in yesterday’s Google Geo Chart and Map Chart Hashtag Emailing Tutorial we ask for a mobile number to send to, and forewarn the user if we suspect it may not work, which our testing showed happens, even though the iPhone Message app declares the SMS “Delivered”, sometimes it isn’t, when the SMS messages are very long.

For a few days now, there seemed to be “no limits”, and that can be an uneasy way to go about software development. It is advantageous to know what might be a problem down the track.

Google Geo Chart and Map Chart Hashtag Emailing Tutorial

Before we got sidetracked, but along the same “where of life” themes, before the latest recent web application predilections …

… we were delving into passing on work from the Google Chart‘s Map Chart to the Google Chart Geo Chart and Image Chart Map Chart more often, where we started that thread (at Google Chart Image Chart Map Chart Mainstream Primer Tutorial at the end of last year) with a three point plan (which became four point two days later) …

  1. Help itself … map.php … phase 1
  2. Redirect to Image Chart Map Chart … map.php and/or geo_chart.php … just after first prompt … phase 2
  3. Caller form method=POST map.php action interventions at onsubmit event … non map.php … phase 3
  4. Transfer the onclick prompt window functionality over to geo_chart.php … phase 4

And then yesterday’s work in Earth Bearing Distance Missing Two Earth Scanner Integration Tutorial involving the Missing Two web application’s interfacing to the Google Chart Map Chart saw a more happy interfacing with this Map Chart, and reminding us with both …

… how on occasions we could have large data set scenarios relying on PHP $_POST data (via form method=POST (or you can use Ajax FormData post) arrangements) that had not passed on their data parts when the user clicked the “Email” link down the bottom. But ever since that happy discovery from around about the time of Earth Scanner Sharing Itinerary Detail Tutorial that …

  • hashtagging … was the friend of …
  • “a” “mailto:” and/or “sms:” link hrefs … replacing the need for …
  • PHP mail via a local mail server methodologies … when the email body is a single link whose length was greater than about 850 (ie. no such stringent limitations with “just clientside” hashtagging (which we’re yet to know what the limit is, but it seems huge))

… and … spoiler alert … we could not break (where we do not count as broken the clicking of a “Message clipped” message link, which we always click to fully show the whole link, as a warning from your email client application (eg. Gmail)) it with any large amounts of data from our PHP Wikipedia Australian List Integration Tutorial “peer to peer” suite of linked PHP web applications passing large amounts of data to those Google Charts and emailing that on to an emailee recipient. Good news indeed!
