Hey guys

Any way to read/write to a server side file? Specifically a Hi-Scores table.

Cheers

Right now the best way is to set up a server side script (ASP/PHP) that talks to a database and use the AJAX object to talk to that.

That's what I was thinking Ash... How would you pass a variable to the PHP file?

Use the AJAX object. I believe it does normal GET requests, so you could use that. Something like writescores.php?name=username&score=1000
