Unity side

The connection is made through the DB_Connectscript. Fill in the correct url's and table name in the inspector. There are callbacks in the form of UnityEvents when a request is completed

Uploading data

Data can be send to the database using:

public void TryUploadData(string username, Object data){}
public void TryUploadData(string username, string data){}

Where the username is used to identify the player and the data can be anything you want. If the data is passed as an object make sure it's [System.Serializable], it will get serialized to JSON before being send.

Downloading data

The data can be downloaded using:

 public void TryDownloadData(){}

It will return all the entries in the database as an array of:

public class UserData
{
  public string username = "";
  public string data = "";
}

The data is received as a UserDataArray as a wrapper class, but the UnityEvent passes a regular UserData[]

Server side

You will need a mysql database and a server that supports PHP. Fill in the database credentials in dbh.inc.php in the ServerFilesfolder:

$dbServername = "";//Database  server name;
$dbUsername =  "";//Database username;
$dbPassword = "";//Database password;
$dbName = "";//Database name;

Put the whole folder on your server. and fill in the link in the DB_Connect in Unity.
