A good link which describes the steps can be found under http://blog.boxedice.com/2009/07/10/how-to-build-an-apple-push-notification-provider-server-tutorial/

A good link to get your head around the certificate issues, check out Urban Airship:

http://urbanairship.com/docs/keys.html

And regarding the approval, it's good to know:

=>app signed with a dev cert = sandbox url & dev apns cert, app signed with

=>appstore/adhoc cert = prod url & prod apns cert

also using an adhoc/appstore app on a device that has previously used the dev app will cause springboard to crash. (so basically need two devices) (to be confirmed.)

Important: you MUST keep the connection to the sandbox, i.e. you must NOT connect, send push, disconnect. If you do, Apple may throttle you as a possible ddos

A PHP example script to trigger a push notification from a server could look something like this:

 $message);
if ($badge)
    $body['aps']['badge'] = $badge;
if ($sound)
    $body['aps']['sound'] = $sound;
/* End of Configurable Items */

$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'push/apns-dev.pem');

// assume the private key passphase was removed.
// stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $pass);
$fp = stream_socket_client('ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $ctx);

if (!$fp) {
    print "Failed to connect $err $errstr\n";
    return;
} else {
    print "Connection OK

";
}

$payload = json_encode($body);

// request one 
$msg = chr(0) . pack("n",32) . pack('H*', str_replace(' ', , $deviceToken)) . pack("n",strlen($payload)) . $payload;
print "sending message :" . $payload . "\n";

fwrite($fp, $msg);

fclose($fp);
