Send DATA to database from arduino (not local database)

Hi evey one ,
my project is a "smart house" i want to control the door of a house with arduino with ethernet shield and send data from arduino to a hosted database .
here is my code :

//simple button GET server code to control servo and arduino pin 5
//for use with IDE 1.0
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the \ slash to escape the " in the html
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields
//Powering a servo from the arduino usually DOES NOT WORK.
//note that the below bug fix may be required
// http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=605
 
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
 
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo
 
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 64 }; // ip in lan
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(8081); //server port
 
String readString;

void setup(){
 
  pinMode(6, OUTPUT); //pin selected to control
  pinMode(7, OUTPUT); //pin selected to control
  //start Ethernet
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
  server.begin();
  //the pin for the servo co
  //enable serial data print
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("server LED test 1.0"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}
 
void loop(){
  // Create a client connection
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();

          //store characters to string
          readString += c;
          //Serial.print(c);
        }

          }
          //clearing string for next read
          readString="";
 
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

here is my problems :

  1. How to send data to my database ?
  2. I want that if a led is on the motor stop : How to receive the state of a led ? because when the door is totally opened a led will turn on so i have to know the state of the led to stop the motor .
  3. is this code right ?
else{ if(readString.indexOf("?moton") >0)//checks for off
          {
            digitalWrite(7, HIGH);    // set pin 4 low
            Serial.println("Moteur on");

if (digitalRead(pin_led,HIGH){
digitalWrite(7,LOW);
// I want here that the state of the led will be sent to my database
}
          }

Note :
*my motor turn like a led but i will use a stepper motor i will change the code
*Is there any other idea to my databse ? can i put it in the sd card and send data to the sd card
Think you

To send data to another server you also need client code. Below is code with both server and client functions.

//zoomkat 7-03-12, combined client and server
//simple button GET with iframe code
//for use with IDE 1.0
//open serial monitor and send an g to test client and
//see what the arduino client/server receives
//web page buttons make pins high/low
//use the ' in html instead of " to prevent having to escape the "
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84 when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //assign arduino mac address
byte ip[] = {192, 168, 1, 102 }; // ip in lan assigned to arduino
byte gateway[] = {192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = {255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84); //server port arduino server will use
EthernetClient client;
char serverName[] = "web.comporium.net"; // (DNS) zoomkat's test web page server
//byte serverName[] = { 208, 104, 2, 86 }; // (IP) zoomkat web page server IP address

String readString; //used by server to capture GET request

my project is a "smart house" i want to control the door of a house with arduino with ethernet shield and send data from arduino to a hosted database .

  1. How to send data to my database ?

*Is there any other idea to my databse ?

You can send the data to Excel. This is done with a free macro PLX-DAQ. Here is some background

http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~npyner/Arduino/GUIDE_2PLX.pdf

The connection is by USB cable, no ethernet needed, and the method is only slightly different form sending data to the serial monitor. There are other options to Excel too.

can i put it in the sd card and send data to the sd card

Yes. You can either

  1. Send data direct Excel
  2. Send data to SD for subsequent retrieval
  3. Both

If you are serious about what you are doing, it is always a good idea to send data to on-board SD, if only for backup.

Think you for answering me ,
I want to know how can i receive the state of a led that i turn on from a website
How to connect the led and what's the code ?
I use digitalRead , analogRead ?
Think you

I don't know much about LEDs, and the logic of what you are saying is unclear, but LEDs should be connected via a current-limiting resistor, say 560 ohm or 1k. The Blink example shows how they are switched, using digitalWrite. If you want to read the state of the pin to which the LED is connected, I guess you can use digitalRead but the LED is then redundant.
