Hi,

You can use the http class to submit your highscores, it won't be necessary to use ShellExecute.

For example:
//Call this once, for example on ClassMain::OnInit()
ecd.net[0]->Init(ECONN_SOCKET, this);

//Call this to submit your score
ecd.net[0]->SendHTTPGet("http://www.max-studio.net/highscores.php?score=37348&player=Jack");

For more information, check the networking tutorial: http://www.edgelib.com/index.php?node=554

i tried the SendHTTPGet method but it doesn't seem to work. it doesn't generate any error but it just doesn't work.

btw, is www.edgelib.com having a problem? i can't connect to the tutorial just now.

correction.. it worked alright. i forgot to add the http:// in front of it. but the tutorial is still unaccessable..

Yes, we're currently busy upgrading the server hosting www.edgelib.com. You can expect the site to be up shortly.

correction again.. it didn't work.. it worked when i submit the data to a local server here. but when i submit it to the net the page doesn't seem to receive anything.

my portion of code :

at ClassMain::OnInit()
shared.ecd->net[0]->Init(ECONN_SOCKET, this);

and at ClassHighScore::SubmitHiScore()

char paramtemp[10];

EHTTPRequest request("http://maxsvr/burningarmor/hiscore_submit.php");
//EHTTPRequest request("http://www.burningarmor.com/bace/hiscore_submit.php");
request.AddParam("a", shared->playername);
ClassEStd::StrCpy(paramtemp, "");
ClassEStd::IntToStr(¶mtemp[strlen(paramtemp)], shared->currentlevel, 10);
request.AddParam("b", paramtemp);
ClassEStd::StrCpy(paramtemp, "");
ClassEStd::IntToStr(¶mtemp[strlen(paramtemp)], shared->redset.score, 10);
request.AddParam("c", paramtemp);

shared->ecd->net[0]->SendHTTPPost(&request);

do i need to add more code there?

that's strange.. i tried it just now but it didn't work. what do you mean about device? well, i submitted it with my personal computer and it's connected to the internet.

does firewall affect the submission? or should i alter some settings here and there maybe?

I've asked about the device because you might have tested it on a mobile device.

It could be that the firewall is blocking your connection (if you have Windows XP SP2 installed, it can block outgoing connections). Also, you may have to wait a short while until the request is complete.

You can also add the OnNetMessage() event to your framework and check incoming network messages. Messages are documented here: http://www.edgelib.com/index.php?node=265

i just asked my admin to remove the firewall and he asked me back which port should be opened..

so which port does edge use to connect to the internet?

i also added the OnNetMessage() but the program never seems to reach there.
