read an (outside) updated global variable

[colonelx]

hi
i know it's seem kind of stupid question
but i have global variable which is updated from
outside the game assume that i have global variable
named [X] and it's value [1]
from web page i want to update [X] value to [2]
then read the new value from the game without restart the server
any suggestion or better idea to do something like this ?

You could use TelNet to execute commands in the GS, no?

Make your website save the previous value if new is detected and if new =/= old then make the website execute the TelNet command to update the value in GS.

[EDIT]
i found this topic but i ccan not connect

it's show me
[PHP Telnet] Connect failed: Login failed
although i have put the console password hash

Find the TelNet tutorial/sample code by iSmokeDrow from this forum, write it over to either PHP, ASPX or what ever you use.

To sum the answer up: search epvp, there are enough threads about this.

first try to connect to the captain using cmd -- telnet command and see if u can execute the code

telnet 127.0.0.1 console_port

if you can execute the command and the same command not being executed while using the php telnet .. then there may be a bug in php telnet
