Very nice start for your tutorial!

One suggestion though.

The second field is called hash and contains a secret code which the PHP script will verify before processing any actions.

As has been shown in a recent thread on security, declaring your hash string in the source makes it the opposite of 'secret.' Anyone with reflection will know what your hash string is and how it's built.

An inspector variable is a little more obscure.

[Tempest]

Ah, thanks.

I was trying to just demonstrate the concept of a hash, though I will take your advice and make it an inspector variable.

Would you happen to have a link to that security topic?

Would you happen to have a link to that security topic?

The discussion relevant to protecting your hash strings is on page 4.

I fixed the link to the project files (never used Wordpress to place downloadable files, forgive me :shock

Thanks for the link to the topic. Just read through it all. For now I'm going to leave it as is. I'm going to see what HiggyB says about how UT might assist in the security issue.

[Tempest]

Part 2 has been added. This one specifically talks about how to generate an e-mail in PHP from a Comment Form in Unity.

I know there are *many* security issues in regards to this, so everyone should remember that none of this should be used "out of the box". Anyone considering using elements like this in their own project(s) should look into how best to secure their information.

I've updated the first post. Part 3 and 4 are finished, but not online yet.

[xandeck]

This will be nice...

[Tempest]

Updated original post.

PHPHandler 2.0 is now released.

[Tempest]

I've just updated the zip with a second version of the PHP script. This second version (phphandler_nosql.php) is a version which does not integrate with a database.

If you don't have mysql set up, and you try to run the Unity script, the Test Connection will fail, because the script is failing to connect to your database.

If you just want to run the test, and send an e-mail, use the nosql version of the script.

[xandeck]

Please,

The tutorials are ready to download?

[Tempest]

It's a three-day weekend here in Germany, so I'll write them for sure this weekend. Maybe if I can scrap enough time together I'll do a video tutorial as well.

Woo, PHP in Video! Exciting.

[xandeck]

Nice, I already got your zip file from your site, did nto open it yet, but I will take a look.

The good point to me is that I program in PHP for years =)

But still dont know if it will be very good use.

I'm still waiting for your tutorial multiplayer project :wink:

Keep up the good work.

[xandeck]

Hey Tempest,

when are you going to update this topic?

[Tempest]

Tomorrow (Thursday,June 4), actually.

I'm going to go through the last release and write some tutorials.

After that I will look into how to expand, or progress with this script. Anyone who has used this, or would like to see something related to this demonstrated, let me know.

[xandeck]

Well, actually, I'm using your script for one of my games. It will be a Web Browser game mixed with 3D Game in Unity :lol:

I'm already learning your codes and understanding... if I get the idea behind your script, Unity WWW, it will be perfect. I'm a PHP programmer already, so no problem with this language to me.

[Tempest]

I do plan on writing a sister-script for this class, which will encompass communication between the browser window and the web app.

[xandeck]

Thats nice.

I just tested your code... its working good with my local domain and server. I use mySQL too.

I will make some changes on your script and make it good to my game... I will post the code later :wink:

[xandeck]

Hey Tempest,

I saw that your code are all in C#
I'm still learning...

Can you make one in Javascript Unity please?

[Tempest]

Currently working on some tutorials/examples, etc. Trying to round this out to be more than just the PHP communication.

My first priority is the example/tutorials. I may consider the JavaScript when I have some time, yes.
