Logging Device Tokens

[John Craig]

Hi, Dan.   The following info will hopefully help, or at least give you 
some ideas.  I wrote a 'draw something' style app at the beginning of 
the year and although it's never been released, it's delivered thousands 
of push notifications on the test service.  The scripts run on an on-rev 
server.  The links below are on another server that doesn't parse .lc 
scripts, so they should show up fine in your browser.

Script that runs on LiveCode server and is successfully delivering push 
notifications in a test app;

I'm also using Mark Smith's libJson 1.0.1b (you'll see it referenced in 
the above);

I've used this script since LC server's been around for MySQL - basic, 
but it does what I need it to do  ;)

Here's the MySQL structure of the table I use to record device info;
