Yep, in DBP there is a form of a database called TYPES, they can be used like this...

Type CharacterStats
Name as STRING
Class as STRING
Health as INTEGER
Strength as INTEGER
EndType

Dim MainCharStats(1) AS CharacterStats
MainCharStats(1).Name = "Cloud"
MainCharStats(1).Class = "Fighter"
MainCharStats(1).Health = 200
MainCharStats(1).Strength = 5




Types are ONLY Available in Dark Basic Professional.

huh? I don't think neither of you helped (nice try though RPGamer)

Somewhat, yes you can talk to php, but it is limited

What you can do, is open Internet explorer (using execute command) and go to say, www.myhost.com/mysite/page.php?thing1=1&thing2=2

You can change the bold parts to suit the program

DBPro can be used with SQL/mySQL - I dont think the DLL will worth with 'Classic'.

TYPES are not a type of database. They are a method of storing data in RAM and im not sure that constitutes a database. Saying types are a database is like saying arrays are too IMO. I might just be stupid however...

Mattman - Getting DBPro to open an IE window to store data in a database would be ridiculously unneeded, inefficient, and unprofessional. As for another way? If there's a local DLL to use, it would be best.

Technically, this definition covers arrays, linked lists etc. It says nothing about the data being permanent or stored on disk.

For free Plug-ins, source and the DBPro Interface library for Visual C++ 6 and .NET

No but you could perhaps use the ftp commands to put a file on a server when a user is logged in and have php on the server look for the files and use them to report who is online.

Can I scream?
