Logging Device Tokens

[Dan Friedman]

Mike,

THANK YOU for the information.  I am wondering what you use to log the Tokens?  Do you have the app fire a PHP script on your server that writes it down?  What are you using to store the data?  Flat files, like XML?  Or a database?

Thanks for the advise!
