What needs to be running on the server side to use this?

[JimmyL]

Hey Lynx,

I'm not sure which server you mean.  But basically, my webserver is running mysql which stores the ip address of a gameserver.  So a gameserver on the ds would just need to send a message to my webserver to say it has started hosting a game, and another message when it stops hosting, or can't accept clients anymore.  The ds game clients would just need to poll the webserver for all the active gameservers, and attempt to directly connect to one of the ip addresses.

Hello Jimmy
Have you any tutorials for an php sever or socket or something like that?
Thank you:)

[JimmyL]

No tutorials, but what are you be trying to do?

[Mr.X]

I try to send variables to a sever and an other cilent can recieve the variables. The DS code works but I have no socket/sever script.
Sorry for my english

Just to double check.  You want to send some data from one ds to a webserver running php... then from another ds, you want to request that data from the webserver?

if that's the case, you can take a look at the code in my "Server List Sample" on the tools page.  It has some code to open a TCP socket on the ds and send some http requests to a webserver, then check for simple results.  For the webserver side of things I currently just have some simple php pages that check the url data and store them in a mysql database... or the other way around if the ds is requesting data.

Ok thanks:)
I hope I can make a websever^^
