Fairly basic php question.

No, there needs to be an upload form.  ABSOLUTELY must be there, otherwise you can't transmit the data from their computer to your server.

Are you sure? Is that the only way? What should I do?

[DarkWater]

Make an upload form.... o-O  You need help with making it?

I suppose you could use some form of hidden input with the form, so they won't see it, then just have them say "save" or something.....

As this appears to be a non-web game, am I to assume that your users will have some sort of executable file to run the game?

 

If so, then you can use FTP to "hide" the backend of the game.  Just ship the game with an (Apache/PHP) framework.

 

If this is to be a web based game, and your users will not have to run an executable to play, ie they just visit a website, then

you do not need a form, or even FTP.  Just store the levels on the server, and call the files from their current location, depending on what level they are on.

 

If you want users to submit their own level creations to your server, then use a form.

This is technically a web game, but it runs very much like an exe. The user will have to download a special plugin before being able to play the game. I have a feeling that this issue cannot be solved with php, so I am going to seek help on the forums for the software I use. This is most likely my last post on this thread.....unless I get really desperate.
