Read GPIO pin on web page

Question

I was able to control an led from a web page using the following code. when I call http://myip/pinon.php it will light up the LED and http://myip/pinoff.php will turn off the LED.

pinon.php

<?php
          system(“ gpio-g mode 24 out “) ; 
           system(“ gpio-g write 24 1”) ; ?>

pinoff.php

<?php
          system(“ gpio-g mode 24 out “) ; 
          system(“ gpio-g write 24 0”) ; ?>

Now I want to read input through GPIO pin when I access http://myip/readgpio.php file.

Is it possible to display a message "button pressed" on the web page(readgpio.php) When a button is pressed or when there is a voltage change on the GPIO pin?

Answer 1

Yes, just like you are using gpio utility to write to a pin you can use it to read a pin using the command:

gpio read <pin>

Some documentation and examples here.
