Hello so my question is what is the best way to connect an arduino to the internet without an ethernet shield.
I tried using PHP but i dont get it. Like how do you use a PHP script with HTML and how to send that to the arduino
I have problems
I have problems understanding how you will connect the Arduino to internet without some sort of Ethernet shield.
You asked for help.
You provided very little information. And then, you shot down all the help that has been offered so far. I believe you need to become more adept at explaining your situation.
I am sincerely sorry i didnt
I am sincerely sorry i didnt mean to insult you guys.
I tried many things but they didnt work.
What i finaly want to acheive is to control a robot from online.
But right now i am just trying to learn how to blink a led.
Client Server Relationship
You need to setup the Aduino as a client. Probuably the easiest way to have an Anduino communicate with a server is via telnet. Your first issue though is how are you going to physicaly communicate with the server. This will require more hardware than a standard Aduino. Some options are an ethernet, bluetooth, WIFI, or use the aduino USB cable directly connected to the computer. I personally have done the bluetooth route to a local computer not a web server. Basicly, via telnet I was able to send text to the aduino and have text sent back as well. Here is some resources.
Ethernet Example

You also may want to look at the software serial library. I used it to transmit over bluetooth without having to use the Aduino’s built in serial.

Also, if you want to have your server run PHP code and telnet look into PHP sockets. You can technically connect to a web server via telnet but http headers will give you a headache. Good luck.
Oh wow thanks alot im using
Oh wow thanks alot im using bluetooth serial as well but for the telnet example do you need the ethernet sheild. and since we are doing the same thing can you send the refrerence links you used.
Suggest Approach
I would suggest setting up either a computer or a smartphone (Android) as the client to the web server. This would do all the communication between the web server and the phone. Then the phone or computer would talk to the aduino. So what you need to first setup is to program an App that communicates with the aduino and then program that App to communicate with a web server. App to web server should be easy. App to aduino is the first obsitcle you should try to do. Google does officialy support Aduino for Android accessories.
I was actually doing telnet
I was actually doing telnet over bluetooth between the Aduino and a Mac. No software to install and pretty easy. You have to first pair the Aduino bluetooth to the Mac which is done the same way any other Bluetooth item. Hopefully the bluetooth module you have came with some instructions on the pass code. Most likely it is 0000. After that through a terminal in OSX you can do the following.

If you are on a windows box I think you will need to install a telnet client. Also, here is some quick Aduino code that receives the character you send it and then sends it back with some extra text. I have the bluetooth module installed on pins 8 and 7 and am using the software serial library.

My next test when ever I get around to it will be to write a simple Android app to connect to the aduino over bluetooth and then maybe try to do it over USB as well. USB I am guessing will be much more complicated communication since you have a USB host and client situation. Also, not all android hardware can act as a USB host.
