The mythtv remote control interface is too heavy weight for some PDAs/smart phones, it appears to use javascript (for AJAX), and cookies. This is a simple version that uses the same API, but uses only pure HTML.

Note, you'll need to tweak your /var/www/mythweb/.htaccess file to pass through the db_* environment variables.

$keys = array(
      array("id" => "escape", "name"=>"Back"),
      array("id" => "enter", "name"=>"Enter"),
      array("id" => "left", "name"=>"left"),
      array("id" => "right", "name"=>"right"),
      array("id" => "up", "name"=>"up"),
      array("id" => "down", "name"=>"down"),
      array("id" => "f10", "name"=>"Pause")
      );

if (isset($_REQUEST['key'])) {
   $key = $_REQUEST['key'];

  $frontend=$Frontends['brimstone'];

   $ret=$frontend->connect(3);
   $ret=$frontend->send_key($key);

}

foreach ($keys as $key_obj) {
	$link=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?key={$key_obj['id']}";
	echo "<a href=\"$link\">{$key_obj['name']}</a> <br />\n";
}
