Put quite simply; I'm making a Space Invaders game in C# with XNA, and I got the idea I might add an online scoreboard. Any idea how I'd go about doing that? I know pretty much how to communicate with a webserver from within C#, but I don't know how to interact with a php script. Also, what would go into the php script?

The way I did it with Alien Deathmatch.. 1. Figure out how to read a webpage, nice and simple. 2. Figure out how to send "GET" style data, when requesting the webpage. ^ that! 3. In the php... $MyData=@$_GET[data]; Which should = the data that was sent above.. Do with it what you will. 4. Output the returned data using echo, which will be input in Blitz Repeat LineofData$=ReadLine$(site) ^ grab it line by line, do what you will on the Blitz side Until Eof(site) 5. Done, don't forget to close up.. It's very very simple. Basically, request a page, instead of having to output the HTML header, the <html> tags, etc, just spew out what you want, then get Blitz to deal with it when it gets back. Sorted.. (But, you know, for CWhatever instead) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

you should use ASP.NET and/or a webservice instead of php if you're going to be using C# anyway -- since those use C# aswell. The ASP.NET route would be similar to the php explination that jay gave -- the webservice would allow you to add the service as a library to your project and then do regular function calls. -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

Hm, I've written Webservice hosting apps before for my servers, but that would require me to use dedicated hosting, which I don't have atm. I'll definately look into ASP.NET!

The only problem with using ASP.Net is that it isn't as cheap as some of the PHP/mysql options out there.

What your looking to do is fairly simple stuff. In PHP it would be something like: -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.
