unity3d connect to php or coldfusion for database information
I want to be able to pull data from a database and assign that data to variables via unity3D. I would like to do this using AJAX or a similar system to get real time updates on the data, either retrieving the data or updating the database. I'd prefer to do so via functions in either a PHP file or Coldfusion file running on a public server. I'm not looking for simple high scores posting page or anything like that. Does anyone have some links or advice to get started?
I ended up using smartFox server to update the same database that the Coldfusion server is using for data calls.. seems to be the only way to achieve the result I wanted.
You can use the WWW class in Unity to make HTTP post requests to any webserver of your liking. You have a wide variety of options available on the server to accept and deal with that request. (php, .net, python, perl, etc)
But I can't send data back to the unity client with a post or get method can I? I mean, to a point, but not a several hundred row query.. the GET response would be ridiculously long. Can you connect to components, like you would with ajax? Do you have any links to get me started?
