please i would like info on HTTP request

hello all you wonderful scripters out there. i need information on how to store information on the web and relay it to a HUD. i build character sheet HUDs for RP. i would love to store the information on the web in a easily accessable manner for ease of change. some examples of scripts and web pages as well as what all is definitively required outside of SL would be appericated.

I have looked into it in the wikki but its not very decent at explaining the entire process or i am just not understanding the way its writen. especialy the PHP portion of the script because i have no clue when it comes to PHP. and help even tutorials would be appericated. thanks

Explaining the whole PHP-Process would be a little beyond the scope here... Google for tutorials that explain storing stuff in a MySQL-DB, that might be helpful.

The Process is something like:

-> send a llHTTPRequest from SL to PHP (using POST!)

(Pseudo-Code! - just posting untested snippets here...)

key my_request;

my_request = llHTTPRequest("http://my.server.com/my-script.php", 
            [HTTP_METHOD, "POST",
             HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
            "sl_var1=hello&sl_var2=world");

http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)
    {
        if (my_request == requestid)
        {
            llOwnerSay(body);
        }
    }

-> fetch the variables with PHP

 
$sql = "INSERT INTO my_table sl_var1, sl_var2 VALUES('".$_POST['sl_var2']."', '".$_POST['sl_var2']."')";

mysql_query($sql);

echo "the entry has been stored in the database"; // this will be «heard» by the calling SL-Script, resulting in the «body» variable in SL

There's a good example on the Wiki:

HTH...
