Hi

I red this on lots of links, but I cant make it work for me.

What I want to do is to use this peace of code and use it to read a file on my localhost.

I use PHP in localhost. Id like to make some sort of communication with unity, but that is not important at this point. Id just like to make my 2 apps talks somehow from editor.

   var w = WWW(url);   yield w;
	if (w.error != null) { 
      print(w.error); 
   } else { 
      print("Test ok"); 
      formText = w.text; 
      print(formText);
   }

I have managed to make a call only like this: I build a project, move it to my localhost (http://localhost/unity/test/WebPlayer.html), and from there make a call, and it works remotely, my online(or offline) files are updated when I make a call, but I can`t make it work from within unity3d editor.

Can that be done at all?

Thanks in advance,
this is my first post, so I might have posted it wrong, on wrong place, etc.

EDIT:
When I set a default build as “standalone”, I can communicate with server through unity editor.

Have you configured the WWW Security Emulation settings in the Editor?

My understanding is that the Editor will attempt to emulate the security restrictions imposed on the web player.

If you go here:

 Edit -> Project Settings -> Editor

You can then specifiy the URL where your game will be hosted in the Inspector.

This will allow the Editor to simulate the security restrictions that will be imposed on your game if you publish it to that address.

This does not explain why you wouldn't be able to access a php script running on the same host as a published game.

It’s possible that the Unity Editor is being blocked by your computer’s firewall. Check the firewall configuration to make sure there’s an exception for it.
