Created page with "Sometimes the only way to get a game working is to use a server-side script. This page goes over some simple cases of how to handle this. == Using PHP Scripts == Sometimes a..."

New page

Sometimes the only way to get a game working is to use a server-side script. This page goes over some simple cases of how to handle this.

== Using PHP Scripts ==

Sometimes a game may require a PHP script to return different data depending on a query string. Query strings are passed to PHP scripts the same way that [[Flash Curation#Flashvars|Flashvars]] are passed to SWFs. The query string is all of the text of a URL after a question mark <code>?</code>.

For example, when loading a user level, a game might make a request that looks something like this: <code><nowiki>http://www.example.com/levels/getlevel.php?id=100</nowiki></code>.

To save such a game, you first need to save all the user levels. First [[Helpful Tools#Software_for_Archiving|download Wget]] if you don't have it already. Next, write a script like the following batch script to download the levels:
<nowiki>SET baseURL=http://www.example.com/levels/getlevel.php?id=
FOR /L %%i in (1,1,1000) DO (
wget -x %baseURL%%%i
)</nowiki>

If you're more familiar with another language such as Python or Powershell, you can use it instead.

Now you should have all the files downloaded, with filenames such as <code>getlevel.php@id=100</code>, <code>getlevel.php@id=101</code>, etc.

Copy the following PHP code into a new text document and save it according to the name of the original PHP script. In this example, you would save it as <code>getlevel.php</code>.
<nowiki><?php
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: ' . str_replace("?", "@", basename($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])));
exit();
?></nowiki>

Now test the script by opening Flashpoint's copy of Basilisk and typing in a URL that you know should work. In this example, you could go to <code><nowiki>http://www.example.com/levels/getlevel.php?id=100</nowiki></code> and make sure that the contents of the <code>getlevel.php@id=100</code> file appear in the browser window.
