    "how much php need ?" What do you mean ?

    how much database table need ?

    base on your code. Mostly I use only 1 table for push notification. I add push notification list to the table. Background php code is checking and sending the push notification message per rows.

    Do you want to use GCM for iOS ? it's more complex than normal way. You can read detail at

    do you want to broadcast ? I think , apple didn't support broadcast. You need to open the socket connection and sent it. But something , it can lose the some notification.

    For me, I am running background php app and break 1 seconds for 1 push notification

    Socket open
        loop all the notifications
            send push notificaiton
            check result
            if result is empty or error
                close connection
                create new connection and send again
           sleep 2 seconds
           send next push notification

    For example, I have 3 new noti while offline. When I open online, noti is come in banner bar but just seen the last noti.That's the problem.I can't see before 2 noti.I mean "How to send mutiple push notification in a single request"? Ofcourse can send multiple push notification in multiple request.
    Sorry for my poor english :D
