Can I make online highscore without php/mysql?

Like the topic title says , can it be done without using php/mysql?

Make it use an externa file to read/write data from?

I have my own webserver running wamp but have zero knowledge about php/mysql.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I think you'd have to have some server-side script such as php write to a file. So you don't need mysql, but you'd use something like php. Look into ajax and xmlhttprequest

A good idea to avoid MySQL is to handle read/write a CSV with PHP.

Should be easy reproduce the following example:

http://www.eatyourvariables.com/php/csv ... and-writer

And you could do something like this:

$writer = new CSV_Writer();
$writer->setLayout(array('highscore', 'player'));
$writer->setOuputCsv('export.csv', '/abs/path/to/dir');
$writer->writeRow(array('highscore' => '1283', 'player' => 'Kramer'));
$writer->clean();[/code:28fkiwb5]

Hmm looks like I'm gonna have to skip it for now never used php before...

"Make games without coding" only gets you so far.

Thanks very much for takig the time to answer though
