Sending data to a .php service using Unity's WWW?

Questions & Answers
1

So, my target platform is android, and I’m using unity’s WWW class to try and send data, a string and an integer, but the service is never receiving the data. I’ve tried two methods, and they are as follows:

WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
form.AddField("username", playerName);
form.AddField("score", playerScore);
WWW connection = new WWW("http://www.webdomian.com/directory/directory/webservice.php", form);

and I’ve tried:

WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
byte[] namedata = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(playerName);
byte[] scoredata = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(playerScore.ToString());
form.AddBinaryData("username", namedata);
form.AddBinaryData("score", scoredata);
WWW connection = new WWW("http://www.webdomian.com/directory/directory/webservice.php", form);

I’ve also tried those methods sending form.data instead of form, but to no avail.

The playerName, playerScore are both defined properly, and the dud web address is a real functioning address.

Did you try sending via GET (just params in the url, like http://www.webdomian.com/directory/directory/webservice.php?username=doug&score=11 ) ?

Do you get what you expect if you make an html form and hit your script with it?

Are you sure your Android is able to access the page (wifi is on, 3G is on, etc.)?

Are you yielding after this code?

Because to answer your question, yes, you can do this. The first codes look ok at first glance.
