Say I wanted to make it so people could tell if a game I made was up from my site how would I go about doing this?
Could it be done with php?

The only one I can think off the top of my head is Tripod UK. The ads kind of suck, and it's a bit slow, but it's ok:

www.hostultra.com
free php database 5$ you could also try and find someone to host a database on their server for you i guess | |

Metawire supports php i believe and its free without ads. --Goz | |
Ah thanks.
One problem, i don't know how to use Lummox's thing. Where do i put the first bit of code he showed? In a dms file? When i did that it gave an error saying world.php.dms:27:error at 'end of file': badly terminated html block I put the second bit in a php file, made on the file manager, when i access it, it says : Warning: file(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in - on line 86 Warning: file(http://www.byond.com/hub/ hub.cgi?qd=hub;hub=DeathAwaitsU.TestGame;format=text;content =|worlds|users|): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in - on line 86 Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in - on line 89 It may be that i'm not hosting due to the error in the dms. | |
Both of those things he posted are PHP code. The first one goes in a file called world.php, and the second one goes into any PHP page where you want to display the world's status.
The DMS reference just means that the PHP file *generates* the DMS script. It isn't a DMS script itself. | |
Ok i created a world.php file in my file manager and added the first bit of code into it.
Then i creates a test.php file and put the other piece of code in it. After hosting i got this when trying to access test.php; Warning: file(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in - on line 86 Could it have something to do with the hub passwordnot eing in th php file. | |
I'll host that file for you, i can even set it up for you.
Intrested? | |

Alright, i guess mvhosted sucks then.
And sorry about the poor typing before, my keyboard wasn't really working. | |
