That would be what the name infers.

I tried using this a while back when was fiddling with requesturl and couldn't find any way to get it to work, or even what it returns if it works. Some insight would be nice, SQL access would be a lot easier than using requesturl all the time.

Both the server and client documents have it listed as:
requestmysql(str, str, str, str, str) - returns object

Yeah just saw that and deleted my post. Guess I was too slow.

It'd be interesting to find out how exactly it is used.

It's not working yet, the idea was to allow communication to the database of playerworldname.graal.net

That explains why it hasnt been working for me..

I thought it was
requestmysql(server,account,password,database,quer y);

which would make sense.. and if thats not how its going to work you should add a command like that so it can communicate with any mysql server.

hmmm i think we could write our own requestmysql() function that uses requesturl() and a php file or? :o

Well, you could, but I doubt it would be very secure, practical or easy to implement.

hmmmn

can use it and have and do something like..

domain.com/sqlquery.php?acc=SQLACC&pass=SQLPASS&db=DBNAME&que ry=QUERY

would be as secure as any other command to access mysql through graal.

would still need to know accname and password

[projectigi]

yeah and you could make a class for that function
and give noone read access to the class haha xP

It's this whole thing about sending your SQL details through a URL that probably concerns me. I realise that the chance of someone picking up on them is slim, but still, web server logs and such.

MySQL commands would be much more secure, if done on the server end.

well you could use encryption haha
