Very nice start for your tutorial!

One suggestion though.

As has been shown in a recent thread on security, declaring your hash string in the source makes it the opposite of 'secret.' Anyone with reflection will know what your hash string is and how it's built.

An inspector variable is a little more obscure.

 

Ah, thanks.

I was trying to just demonstrate the concept of a hash, though I will take your advice and make it an inspector variable.

Would you happen to have a link to that security topic?

 

http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=18253

The discussion relevant to protecting your hash strings is on page 4.

 

I fixed the link to the project files (never used Wordpress to place downloadable files, forgive me )

Thanks for the link to the topic. Just read through it all. For now I'm going to leave it as is. I'm going to see what HiggyB says about how UT might assist in the security issue.

 

Part 2 has been added. This one specifically talks about how to generate an e-mail in PHP from a Comment Form in Unity.

I know there are *many* security issues in regards to this, so everyone should remember that none of this should be used "out of the box". Anyone considering using elements like this in their own project(s) should look into how best to secure their information.

 

I've updated the first post. Part 3 and 4 are finished, but not online yet.

 

This will be nice...

 

Updated original post.

PHPHandler 2.0 is now released.

 

I've just updated the zip with a second version of the PHP script. This second version (phphandler_nosql.php) is a version which does not integrate with a database.

If you don't have mysql set up, and you try to run the Unity script, the Test Connection will fail, because the script is failing to connect to your database.

If you just want to run the test, and send an e-mail, use the nosql version of the script.

 

Please,

The tutorials are ready to download?

 

It's a three-day weekend here in Germany, so I'll write them for sure this weekend. Maybe if I can scrap enough time together I'll do a video tutorial as well.

Woo, PHP in Video! Exciting.

 

Nice, I already got your zip file from your site, did nto open it yet, but I will take a look.

The good point to me is that I program in PHP for years =)

But still dont know if it will be very good use.

I'm still waiting for your tutorial multiplayer project :wink:

Keep up the good work.

 

Hey Tempest,

when are you going to update this topic?

 

Tomorrow (Thursday,June 4), actually.

I'm going to go through the last release and write some tutorials.

After that I will look into how to expand, or progress with this script. Anyone who has used this, or would like to see something related to this demonstrated, let me know.

 

Well, actually, I'm using your script for one of my games. It will be a Web Browser game mixed with 3D Game in Unity

I'm already learning your codes and understanding... if I get the idea behind your script, Unity WWW, it will be perfect. I'm a PHP programmer already, so no problem with this language to me.

 

I do plan on writing a sister-script for this class, which will encompass communication between the browser window and the web app.

 

Thats nice.

I just tested your code... its working good with my local domain and server. I use mySQL too.

I will make some changes on your script and make it good to my game... I will post the code later :wink:

 

Hey Tempest,

I saw that your code are all in C#
I'm still learning...

Can you make one in Javascript Unity please?

 

Currently working on some tutorials/examples, etc. Trying to round this out to be more than just the PHP communication.

My first priority is the example/tutorials. I may consider the JavaScript when I have some time, yes.

 

Tempest, thank you for you efforts!

I would also love to see these in JS when you have time.

Sammual

 

No problem at all.

In fact, I'm learning C# now and I'm understanding better what you done.

I'm developing my own code now, I will post here when finish.

 

Great tutorial! I finally started using coroutines because of this tutorial, and they are awesome.

I attempted interfacing with facebook using php handler, but i ran into a problem in the requirelogin function. The callback from my site keeps giving me a javascript because it keeps hitting that function. I ended up using external calls and javascript to interface unity and facebook, but I'd still prefer it if I could do it with php handler.

Any chance you can give some pointers on how you managed to get facebook and unity talking?

 

Yes, I will put up a Facebook - Unity tutorial. It's not quite as beautiful as I'd like, but I imagine it would be moreso if I used the Facebook Connect features (where your app is on your own site, not running through Facebook).

 

Sorry on this Tempest, but do you have any date to show us the tutorials?

 

Oh yes please, I would be so happy to learn how to interface unity webplayer to facebook api

 

As soon as I get back on a proper sleeping schedule (though night owl hours are productive, or so I claim), I will be pushing forth a small Unity project which will most likely be open-source. It will be a browser game. It will remain small, primarily serving as a living example/tutorial.

I will then attempt to move that same game into Facebook. While it may not be exactly 'tutorials', the documented work flow and source of this project will be available from the beginning until the end.

 

I can't wait for Unity games to take over facebook.

Sammual

 

where can i download phphandler?

 

Yeah, Tempest -> are you still not sleeping enough ?

Would like to see some code

Regards,

Bart

 

hi!

where do i download the tutorials

i'm a newbie to PHP and i am glad to know that these tutorials exist

 

Nice. I would like advice to visit this resource. May you find many interesting information for your tutorials:
http://phpforms.net/tutorial/tutorial.html
I use this resource very often.

 

@April

Sorry, I must have removed the link. This is where you can download the project:
http://waddlefarm.org/blog/?p=368

@Abba
I'll review that php tutorial and add or link to any useful information that I think goes well with my tutorial.

Thanks!

 

Thanks a lot, Tempest! And you, too, Abba.

 

You are welcome,April!

 

April, if you are interested in web forms and creating of them you may to read this tutorials article: http://phpforms.net/tutorial/html-basics/form-creator.html It is about creating of e-mail form for your own web site.

 

Hello there, Tempest!
Your PHPHandler link ar you blog seems to be down (404 error)

 

The link is missing!

 

Thanks for this Tempest !

I have a question since I'm fairly new to this and C#.

I was able to modify one of your functions to store a Table Entry that had Character Information.

Name, Password, Strength, Intelligence, HitPoints, Etc..

And it seems to work Perfectly. But I cant figure out how to

write a function that loads the character at game start.

How do I load the Table Fields into a web Form and send it back to Unity?

 

your link for facebook plateform is not working

 

I will be updating this soon. Facebook has changed significantly since I first wrote this and it will be completely deprecrated in 2011.

An updated Facebook, Canvas and PHP communication script will be written. I apologize for the negligence on this topic.

@grfxman --
There are a couple of ways to do it, all of which basically come down to encoding and decoding a string of text. Like XML, JSON or your own solution. On the PHP side all the data is combined into a single string. On the Unity side the string is parsed and the values are assigned to variables in your script.

 

Thanks for sharing these scripts. I have modified what you have shown as a log in script for my game. Works great from within Unity3D and as a standalone build, but it is not working from the WebPlayer. Any ideas why and how I can make it work?

 

All the pictures are broken. can you tinypic.com them or something?

 

hi.. i would like to ask anyone of you have try to implement speech recognition in Unity??
