Hi, I think this is more for people who have used fogman's online scoreboard - but maybe not so please keep reading

I have successfully implemented fogman's online scoreboard into my game, and it works fine -> If I don't use an important feature.

Code:

webscore_send(name_1_str,"textfile",str_for_num(NULL,score_count),str_for_num(NULL,stage_count));

What you see here ^^ is what I would like to send (score and stage)

When returning values

Code:

return_code=webscore_get("temp.txt","textfile");

Both Score and Stage return as stage.

If However, I set only one or the other

Code:

webscore_send(name_1_str,"textfile",str_for_num(NULL,score_count),"");

This returns the score.

and if I swap "" with stage_count it gives the proper stage.

Never both

Both gives me 2 stage counts

Look at this:

Code:

STRING* webscore_get_index(STRING* line,var index)
{
STRING* temp=str_create("");
str_for_asc(temp,1);
return explode(temp,line,index);
}

This is splitting your return string. Maybe wrong splitter or something. Just debug a little

Are you suggesting that you see the answer to the problem?

Well your splitting your string wrong or something, just print out what your php script returns and then print out how it looks after each splitting func call.

BTW, with further research I've discovered this was not fogmans script.

You dont need a tutorial lol.
Just think what you need.
A server with some scripts (mainly php) + a SQL databank to save your servers.
Now you just need to connect to your php script, use the 3DGS "get" functions to read the return of your php script.

Okay I've looked into this more - I've noted that it is not the splitter. the splitter works fine.

It seems to be the webscore_send:
I know this because If I open the .txt file stored in my server after its been created the score is 50 and the time is 50.

50 = stage 50.

Code:

var webscore_send(STRING* name,STRING* scores_file,STRING* score,STRING* time)
{
if(!load_web_dll()) return -1;
STRING* send=str_create(WEBSCORE_SCRIPT);
str_cat(send,"?action=add&key=");
str_cat(send,webscore_clean(WEBSCORE_KEY));
str_cat(send,"&name=");
str_cat(send,webscore_clean(name));
str_cat(send,"&scores_file=");
str_cat(send,webscore_clean(scores_file));
str_cat(send,"&score=");
str_cat(send,webscore_clean(score));
str_cat(send,"&time=");
//str_cat(send,time); // This is the original line
str_cat(send,webscore_clean(time));//I tried to replace it with this
var r=DownloadToFile(_chr(send),_chr("score_temp"));
if(!r) return -2;
STRING* res=file_get_contents("score_temp");
if(str_cmp(res,"")) r=-2;
else if(str_cmp(res,"0") || str_cmp(res,"2")) r=0;
else if(str_cmp(res,"1")) r=-3;
else r=-4;
file_delete("score_temp");
return r;
}

Perhaps someone else can see the error here?

I figured it out

When sending strings, str_for_num should be done prior to the struct
