Uploading data into an online database... WHERE TO START??? :-(

hey, lets say i want to make an online highscore. I’d need to be able to upload info into an online database, and also be able to retrieve it.

But I dont know where start. I know I’d need to hire a server, then what?

help please!!!

This is the most exhaustive tutorial on the subject, and should be everything you need.

oh! great! thanks!

how do I change the password of my database with phpmyadmin?

Well, this is a unity forum, not php or phpmyadmin…

But go to the privileges tab, create a new user and password, and give that user full privileges to whatever database you want that user to have access to. Then when you’re connecting to the database in php, use that username/password instead of root.

Have you considered using Dimerocker or some other such service?

Hmm yeah. Dimerocker is mostly a facebook thing, right? But I should definitely consider it… in fact I tried it with a game some time ago, but I wasn’t able to make it work 100%, the share with friends button didn’t work for some reason… maybe I should give it another try

dimeRocker is exclusive to Facebook. It would be great if you gave it another shot using the new version found here.
