Webpages To Ini Files

Ok, so I highly doubt this, but is there any way to make a website connect to an ini file that is on the server? You know, kind of like if it was a database? Just wandering if there is any way because that would make it alot easier to do my website. I highly doubt it like I said, but there is always a slight chance.

Ok, nobody here knows how to do simple, basic, sprites with no shading or anything? Wow, that is sad. Well, anyways, I have some more ideas. First off there will be a candle shop here and there that will sell different flavors of candles. Which ever flavors it sell that I like more (*Wistles to Himself*) will cost more. You always should have a candle in the candle spot in your wearing area of your inventory for the reason that I will explain. Candles make your relaxation level go up. You always want your relaxation level as high up as you can because it determens how much you will use your defence and attack levels. So say your attack level is 50, and so just think that with 50 attack you can max hit a 15 with full relaxation, but if your relaxation is at 0 or 1 then you would be lucky if you could even hit a 1 on somebody/somthing. Same with your defence accept oposite, if your defence level is 50 then your would say block 2 out of every 5 hits (none of this is true, I am just using it as an example, it will be more relistic in the game) if you would have full relaxation, but if your relaxatioin is like a 0 or a 1 then you would block like, if you were lucky, 1 out of every 10 attempts to hit you. You know what I am saying. Ok, well tell me what you think I should add to it or what you think of that idea. Thanks everybody.

Why not just use a database? Its probably way easier.

Yeah, MySQL isn't hard to understand. Once you learn it, it's about as easy as HTML.

Crazy idea.

with GM's current engine… no i don not think it is possible… without some workarounds.

Was he even talking about GM?

I'm pretty sure www.ultimatepronoun.com uses ini files. I was snooping around the URL back when it was newer, and I saw some .ini files. Now you get a 403 error. This doesn't help you, unless you wanted to email Yourself (the websites owner) and ask him how he did it. I imagine you would use the text file functions and make your own interpretor. .ini's are basically text files right?

MySQL databases are far easier, but in the case you can't use ini files, have you taken a look at PHP and its file functions?

You can use PHP to access the ini files with it's file functions. I wrote my own filetype for this, but you could use ini files I guess.

PHP would be the way to go, even if a database isn't an option.

MySQL/PHP ftw.

If that's not an option…

XML ftw.
