A server with the specified hostname could not be found.

Hi guys

I am trying to register an user to my server & post highscore but when I build & run it over iPhone or iPod or iPad it giving me this error(Enters the if part)

A server with the specified hostname could not be found.

were as if I am doing the same thing from the unity3d Editor it works properly !(Enters the else part)

why could this be happening Iam using the following method

        string registerUserURL= "http://abcd.com/abcd/createuser.php?username="+userName+"&password="+passWord+"&email="+emailId;
                
        WWW registerUser_post = new WWW(registerUserURL);
 
        yield return registerUser_post; // Wait until the download is done
        
        if (registerUser_post.error != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("There was an error loging In the user: " + registerUser_post.error);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log(registerUser_post.text);
            
            severResponse = registerUser_post.text;
        }

The above code is in a function that I call as soon as the user clicks the register button

Any suggestions pls

Thanks

bumping this thread, I'm having exactly the same problem and no solution until now

Got it its the problem with the "@" sign that we pass in the email Id so the solution for this is use it some thing like this

string registerUserURL= "http://abcd.com/abcd/createuser.php?username="+userName+"&password="+pa ssWord+"&email="+WWW.EscapeURL(emailId);

This converts the string into a URL friendly format.

Wow thanks a lot, that works. I initially put the "EscapeURL" but I thought the string will not be similar as the URL parameters. Many thanks! =D
