I'm pretty new when it comes to this server-side stuff, and I've only just been making apps for a few months. I have my push notifications set up through the server, and everything is working fine when I want to send to an individual device. I'm using a PHP script from the SimplePush tutorial by Ray Wenderlich where I put in the device token manually for each push.
What I need to do is figure out how to write the token to my SQL database, retrieve it, and push the notifications in a loop for each token received by the server. Right now, my code to send the token to the server is something I grabbed from stackoverflow and I don't think it will work for what I want to do. I get my token and I get the message that the token was sent successfully to the URL, but I don't get anything written to my server. I put this into a new class called DataUpdater and set all of that up. It thinks it's working.
I'm pretty sure the above is useless for what I'm trying to do. Do I need to use PHP here? How do I store the token in the database? How do I retrieve it? How do I set up the notification script to grab the information and use it for each individual token?
My PHP looks like this:

Code:
+ (void)sendUserToken {
if ([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"apnsTokenSentSuccessfully"]) {
NSLog(@"apnsTokenSentSuccessfully already");
return;
}
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://PATH TO SERVER/appdev/filecreate.php?token=%@",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"apnsToken"]]]; //set here your URL
NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:urlRequest queue:queue completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error)
{
if (error == nil) {
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:@"apnsTokenSentSuccessfully"];
NSLog(@"Token has been sent successfully");
//you can check server response here if you need
}
}];
