Writing a line to a website

[Thorfin25]

Is this even necessary?
I've noticing a small surge of people who want to have cloud-based admin lists and other things, but have no need for doing so cuz they only host a single server

I've been trying to learn this so I can record my database of client names, ID's, and previous names to the web instead of keeping it to myself. And I've recently heard TomTom is trying the same thing.

A list of your server's admins is probably as far as you want to go if you're using a text file to store them. If you want to store an entire history of a large number of player names, you'll want to use a proper database, such as MySQL. Which adds SQL to the list of languages you need to learn  to accomplish this, on top of TorqueScript and a server-side web language such as PHP. (Although SQL has very little to learn in comparison)

I don't need to do the php personally, I know a few people who can do that, and that know html, all I need to worry about is the Cpp part.

You don't need any C++ or a real programming language. Just your server-side web PHP, JSP, ASP, or Node.js.

Are you saying server-side languages aren't "real" programming languages?
Also, for his information, there are a lot more server-side languages than that, those are just a few of most frequently used (Although not necessarily in order)
He will still need TorqueScript though.

As hammer said, you don't need C++, Blockland uses Torquescript for add-ons, the only time you'd need C++ is if you want to make a standalone executable utility, or something to hook into Blockland to accomplish things that Torquescript can't, etc

They're more like scripting languages.

I know; I was talking about the non-Torquescript part. But I don't think you even need a web server language. You just need a .txt file hosted on a web site, which your add-on downloads and parses.

PHP and node.js are (or in the case of node.js, use) interpreted scripting languages, sure,  but that doesn't make them not "real"
But ASP.NET uses Visual Basic, C#, or J#, and JSP uses Java, all of which are full programming languages, compiled and everything.

But I don't think you even need a web server language. You just need a .txt file hosted on a web site, which your add-on downloads and parses.

He wants an add-on that will write lines to a remote website. He certainly does need a server side script for that, a plain text file won't do that

Oh damn I went off topic.
