SL»DB: Simple database storage for Second Life
If you’re a creator of scripted content in Second Life, you’ve probably noticed the lack of persistent data storage available for LSL. Storing long-term data is nearly impossible without using an off-world database, but off-world database storage requires knowledge of PHP.
Not anymore.
I’ve whipped up a little freebie web app called SL»DB that makes it dead simple for you to set up your own web database and send/retrieve data from within Second Life objects with no knowledge of PHP or MySQL.
All you need is a PHP/MySQL-equipped shared web hosting account (such as one you’d set up to run a WordPress blog or phpBB forum). After a simple, 5-minute setup, you’ll have your own permanent data storage solution that you can easily use any time you’d like with a couple of pre-made custom functions in LSL.
