Here is my latest attempt:

That still seems like an awful lot of php for just updating one variable but I'm kind of new to it as well. Try posting the code On stackoverflow.com. They are usually very helpful as long as you are polite. Which I don't see a problem there for you. :)

A couple of things:

Put "http://localhost/..." or else it will think it's a relative URL.

And the tags in the 'on progress', 'on completed' and 'on error' actions should all match the request tag ("Post Score").

I think I have an idea of the root issue...the AJAX post, when it submits the data to the php page, does not maintain the session.

Ashley, is that possible?

? Anyone have any ideas???

You would need to check with a php person. I'm fairly familiar with JavaScript and basic php. I've never even heard of sessions so I couldn't comment. Try stackoverflow.com for php help :) you had said that if you plug the info into the URL manually it worked so either something in your capx is wrong or maybe the session thing is messing it up. Did you plug in my basic php file from earlier? It has no session stuff in it and I know it works with MySQL. So it at least could tell you if you have the construct2 side of the coin correct.

Thanks for your help Lanceal.

I can insert into databases and get info from databases easily enough. Your capx and the tutorials led me through it. The problem is updating info in a database.

I think it is the session part that thwarts me.

A session is basically a cookie or token that maintains a connection between the browser and server, that way when you login to a website and go from one page to another (http://somesite.com/index.php to somesite.com/myprofile.php) the server remembers your info on the website's database. Otherwise you would have to login to view each individual page of a website (like facebook or even scirra.com)

I will try stackoverflow. I just hope someone on there has knowledge of C2 AJAX requests. I don't think anything is off in my php code.

Until i figure it out I will just have users manually input their username and then AJAX post that along with their score.

:) no problem
