Multiplayer Game statistics PHP script

[lch]

Well, yeah, this script was my very first and certainly most rewarding dom3-related programming experience so far. But it just so happens that just now I find the following switch in the Dom3 game help: Code:

---

--statfile      Create a player info file after each turn (stats.txt)

---

Was that always in there? That would have made the initial programming a little easier, I think.

Here's the easily parseable contents of one such stats.txt file: Code:

---

Statistics for game 'Test' turn 45



Arcoscephale is computer controlled

Ermor played this turn

T'ien Ch'i didn't play this turn

C'tis played this turn

Agartha played this turn

Helheim played this turn

Niefelheim didn't play this turn

The script now surpasses the functionality offered by this file. But to think that I could have just used this instead of reading from the file system and interpreting the results... and to think that I found the --scoresdump switch, but not this one... hehe

Maybe I will put this inside to be able to tell AI opponents and so on in a later version. This needs a rehaul, anyway.
