Thanks for the reply!
I think I understand your concept for the checksum and what the pages need to do, but I have no clue how to implement it. So I would send the URL containing the info (name,score,level,checksum), and they are basically variables and values included in the URL, which the PHP script can than read and interpret? How does the PHP script read the variables in the URL?
My server does support PHP and MySql, but I have absolutely no experience in either. I'd rather use a textfile to store the info as I've already got a sorting algorithm within the program so the order doesn't really matter in the textfile (in fact, every score could be posted and the sorter only shows the top ten, so I don't have to worry about comparing a posted score to the high scores list and deleting the lowest high score, etc. It could just add every new score to the bottom of the text file, and I'd occaisionally just clean it out).
