php scores script

[RhysD]

Hi

I've added online highscores using PHP thanks to Jeffs great easy scores tutorial but i've run into a snag.

I want the option to delete scores if I submit them for testing purposes etc, and was just wondering if there was a script or something I could use to display the entries in the database and select individual ones to delete?

ok, I have managed to delete the test scores via phpmyAdmin on my web hosting but I think it would be easier in future to have a script, I will look into developing a SQL connection app for my game database in mmf.

I've never bothered with a page like that for my own high score databases because deleting scores is something I do so little, and phpMyAdmin does the job. It's a fairly simple thing to do as far as things go, but you'd need to learn how to pass parameters into an HTML page with a form - the basics are here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp

Bear in mind that having a PHP form with the potential to delete high scores somewhere open to anyone is fairly dangerous unless you take some security measures!

thanks for the link, and yeah security would be a risk hmm
