  • Hi, i've being playing around with AJAX and reading strings from a webpage. I have managed to do that and now i'm trying to do the same thing but in a better way. I was wondering if there are any tutorials centred around database accessing and editing using construct. I basically know nothing i'm guessing it has something to do with SQL but thats as far as i got. Can this be done?

    The basic goal

    Read from a database a set of values depending on an input to the server i.e. an ID number

    And a side goal is to load data into a database depending on an input to the server i.e. ID and Name

    I've been trying on my own for a bit now, i tried making a php page that would access the database depending on input but then when i came to the actual database section got lost. I was wondering if there was a way to access the database directly

    Thanks in advance

  • Databases, SQL and PHP are a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd recommend browsing the web where there are lots of other better sites for help (e.g. StackOverflow), many existing tutorials, etc.

  • Yeah already hitting the php side of things i was just hoping that construct had an idiot proof way for me to do it with out learning php and SQL but i suppose you can't be fed everything on a plate thanks

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • If you do wan't to learn a bit of those subjects, thenewboston.org/index.php has video tutorials and w3schools.com makes a great reference, but also has tutorials.

    Why not add a little Web Storage? Every browser seems to support it. Maybe not a full database, but could be useful for RPG stats.

    Also consider IndexedDB; it seems to be catching on fast.

    HTML5 will solve all your problems!
