Hey guys, i finished the game i was making (see at [www.se-miserious.com](http://www.se-miserious.com) ) but I want to add a top score system to it…i read a tutorial on flashkit which uses a simple PHP script…that’s really easy, but I’m confused as to how to submit the details to write to it…here’s the flashkit tutorial:

$file = fopen("scores.txt", "a");
fputs($file, $username." - ".$scores."
");
fclose($file);
?>

```

Ok lemme explain 😃

I have a dynamic txt box where the score goes and when the time runs out it goes “Time over, you’ve got…” then underneath it has the score box…so i wanna have another txt box where u enter ur name and press submit and it send ur name and score off…

</div>

hmmm, this is quite not as i thought, You then will need an output something like:

userID=Score

well, this will output in textfile:

username - score!! so, u cant easily retrieve it back into flash

Ill try doing a PHP code for this later, probably today!

cya until time!

</div>

Why? the thing is the PHP Code, though its easier when its done with Flash!

btw, do u want the code to only record the Top 10!

Top 10 would be easier!
