PHP script (Game server)

Post by BlueFlame »

Im working on a little script that will retreive information from a application running on a gameserver and then put it into a mysql database, the only problem i have is that i want the script to continuly monitor the gameserver without any timeing or with timeing of 0.1 of a secound(you get what i mean). Is there any possible way to do this, even if i have to discard php for something else?
The three things i dont want is:
1. For the game server to slow down from the php trying to retreive information off it even if that information is very little.
2. I do not want a script on the server, just on the client side.
3. I do not want the script to miss any information so timeing isnt a good thing to use but as i said if its a timeing of 0.1 of a secound that will have to be considered. Though considering the script is retreiveing the information its going to have timeing on it any way.

there are already some scripts in php that do what your asking for as far as i know, google them and take a look.

ps. change your thread subject to "Game Server Monitor Script" or something, it'll generate more interest.
