Do you intend to use DNS or something like that or do we have a fix IP at last ?

Well, that's up to whoever decides what server the website will finally be on :3

Database type is your choice as we only send post request

Again, this depends if the server has the db.

Creating account on the website would be the safest way but too much bother for player. Luke may find how to get GameSpyID.

Creating an account on the server would things a little more complicated because you would have to send the username and password with the stats to the website.
I did a quick search for gamespy api's and it seems you can do things with them, but you have to be a developer D:

We could specify "From" section or another by a specific value telling your PHPFile that the request is coming from datarun game and not from a browser for example.

Nah - anything you can send in that post request, you can send without being in the game. All we can do is obfuscate posting the data.

Awesome work! I'll create the db to hold this info and the php files behind it.
Just for confirmation, my ip address is dynamic so we'll have to put this thing on another when it goes live and change the url and ip accordingly.
So are we ok using php and postgresql/mysql on whatever server we will be using?

If the user name is tied to their account then we can use that to identify people. Although this brings up my point about not ever being able to stop anyone impersonating another user. They could just spoof a post request. At least I can't think of any way of doing it ^^
