PHP & Second Life.

[TheBadSeed]

Hey there,

 

I don't know much about PHP but I was wondering if this would be possible to do: Basically, I need a PHP script that can receive data and store it in a certain format. A friend and I are wanting to setup some sort of combat system for role playing in the game Second Life. Second Life uses Linden Scripting Language or LSL. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linden_Scripting_Language) or (http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Tutorial). I know basic HTML and PHP is something I want to be able to do as well. Like I said, I just want to know if this is possible. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for viewing.

If your question, is that possible, then the answer is yes. As for the rest of your post, I've no idea what you are talking about.

I guess it depends on whether there's any API for connecting external applications to Second Life servers.

As far as I've heared these SL mmorpg games do use external servers to store information for player status.  Using PHP, ruby python or what ever serverside language doesn't really matter as long as you can use a database to store information.

 

This is how I think you could accomplish what you are trying to achieve. You can sort of use an ajax approach (read articles about what that is). Only instead of if using javascript you'll be using LSL (Linden Scripting Language). Not sure if it is possible but chances are prob pretty high.

 

So to create this SL mmorpg game you'll need to learn the following things.

 

1. any programming lanuage that can run on a webserver (such as php)

2. SQL

3. LSL
