jkorty Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have a website for my friends and me to guess scores for football games. I have been updating it trying to get it to the point where I don't personally have to go in and change all the scores myself. I setup a test page and it works, the only problem is when I come back the changes aren't still there. I understand why this is happening, but wondered if there was a way to make the PHP sent to the page stay there? http://purduefantasy.freehostia.com/week7.php ... the only user that is setup to change right now is Jon Korty... I think by looking at the link you will get the idea of what I'm trying to do... hopefully.. any help or ideas would be appreciated... Thanks!

kevincro Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Have you tried saving the scores to a MySQL database and then creating a display page with the pertinent info on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkorty Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 no i havent... i was trying to avoid that, as i dont know anything about MySQL either, but i guess i may as well figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 thing is php is a server sice written script as you know. After running a users request, and user leaves site. the script goes back to it's original state. the only ways to permanently store information is either flat files or a database. with a database you'd have it dothe following retrive score from a database show if on display or if someone got a question correct you'd want to $i++ on it and store the altered database entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
