Who could program the following...?

ProPain and I have been thinking about a solution to PBEM's that get stuck. Very simple: A Perl/CGI/PHP file with which you can add text to a text file.
On principle you only need a text One-Line Text Box, but better would be something like:

As a result you add a line to a text file like: Matrix | 90 BC | 06-03-2004 17:41

Whenever someone has played that game, he only has to go to that page and fill it in.

So it's just a .txt and a .php. Would anyone here be able to make this? I really think it'll help a lot. I would do it myself, but my knowledge concerning Perl is insufficient. And PHP is totally unknown to me.

I can do it, but using ASP not PHP...

Matrix · 16-03-2004, 11:50

Like I care! (ASP or PHP)

That would be great, anarres!

anarres · 16-03-2004, 11:54

OK, will try to get time to look at it at lunch.

BTW - you know that some web servers (unix based) won't do ASP? Also that some web servers (windows based) won't do PHP?

It doesn't say ASP is supported on my server provider's homepage.

It's Unix based.

But this won't take a lot of space; isn't there anyone else who's got Windows based webspace to share?

We do

I was going to suggest it anyway...

Cool!

Do any of you "work" during work?

Matrix · 22-04-2004, 15:33

Any luck, anarres?
