Hi guys,

I'm using Glen Rhode's highscore tutorial that provides the necessary files to create a highscore system. You can see the tutorial here.

I have uploaded the scores.php file as it said to, and creating a new directory from here called scores with permission set to 777. It then asked to run a link provided which should display a highscore setup.

However, when I put the link in my URL I get the following: click!


The PHP code provided in scores.php is the following, although, the tutorial never makes mention of having to tinker with this:

PHP Code:
<?php
    $winscore = (int)$winscore;

    // Create a Blank File if it doesn't already exist
    if (!file_exists($filename))
    {
        $file=fopen($filename, "w");
        fclose ($file);
    }

    // Read the file in
    $oscores = file ($filename);
    $numreadin = count($oscores);

    // Break out the data into a new 2-d array called $tscores
    for ($i = 0; $i < $numreadin; $i++)
    {
        $g = unserialize($oscores[$i]);
        $tscores[$i][0] = $g[0];
        $tscores[$i][1] = $g[1];
    }

    // Fill in any missing data with none/0
    for ($i = $numreadin; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
    {
        $tscores[$i][0] = 0;
        $tscores[$i][1] = "none";
    }

    // Process the actions    

    // Insert a score/name
    if ($action == "INSERT")
    {

        // Add name to end of list, and sort
        $tscores[$scoresize + 1][0] = $winscore;
        $tscores[$scoresize + 1][1] = $winname;
        rsort ($tscores);

        $file=fopen($filename, "w");

        // Write them out
        for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
        {
            $st = serialize($tscores[$i]) . "\n";
            fputs($file, $st);
        }

        fclose($file);
    }

    // Clear the list    
    if ($action == "CLEAR")
    {

        $k[0] = 0;
        $k[1] = "none";
        $ser = serialize($k);

        $file=fopen($filename, "w");

        for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
        {
            $st = $ser . "\n";
            fputs($file, $st);
        }

        fclose($file);
    }

    // Process the OUTPUT options
    if ($viewtype == "HTML")
    {
      // HTML PAGE CREATED HERE
      ?>


        <table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 border=0 width="152">
        <tr align=center> 
        <th bgcolor="#000033"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">#</font></th>
        <th bgcolor="#000033"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Name</font></th>
        <th bgcolor="#000033"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Score</font></th>
        </tr>

         <?
    
        for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
        {
            echo ("<tr bgcolor='#666666' align='center'><td><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>");
            echo ($i + 1);
            echo ("</font></td><td><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>");
            echo ($tscores[$i][1]);
            echo ("</font></td><td><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>");
            echo ($tscores[$i][0]);
            echo ("</font></td></tr>");
        }

        ?>
        </table>
      <?

    }

    // FLASH DATA CREATED HERE
    if ($viewtype == "FLASH")
    {
        for ($i = 0; $i < $scoresize; $i++)
        {
            echo ("NAME" . $i . "=");
            echo ($tscores[$i][1]);
            echo ("&SCORE" . $i . "=");
            echo ($tscores[$i][0]);
            echo ("&");
        }
    }

?>

I know every little of PHP and was hoping for a quick way of implementing a simple highscore system into my quick puzzle game. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!
