How would I get data from a php script?

I think it depends on the get/post method that you're using, or some other small factor - it's definitely possible to get a plain PHP script to return a simple easily-parsed string without having to pare off a heap of tags, as the tutorial covers that.

I'm fairly sure you get a plain return if you use "GET /file.php" without a http version number or headers. It's a left-over from http 0.9 iirc and web servers don't all support it, so it's kind of stupid to use.

Oh... should I change it then? Or not as it's already working on my web server?

Is that code not right then?

I hope not, as I've just taught people to use something remarkably similar.

Doesn't look right to me. It never connects, and for some reason it attempts to host a server. If I were coding it, it'd also fully adhere to the HTTP 1.1 standard. I'm sure there are many examples on the old CT forum at least.

I see a listen command up above, I have never needed that to send or recieve from a PHP page using MooSock.

How comes it works in my game? :confused: It actually works flawlessly. I've heard that some people have lots of trouble with Moosock, but I haven't had 1 after following DavidN's tutorial.

Would you guys like to upload a .mfa of it working? Might help me to see if it works on everyones PC.

I'm quite familiar with networking terminology. Listening on a port means that your application is waiting for another computer to connect to yours on that port, just like a server program. So that line is completely unnecessary.

It seems that's right - I saw that in the first MooSock tutorial I ever read and just assumed that it meant "wait for a response coming back on port 80". This requires quite a major edit.
