Hello,
I have a big problem.
I have a pretty limited server / host (I can only use WordPressJoomla, JoomlaDrupal, DrupalMyBB, MyBBPrestaShop, PrestaShopphpBB, **phpBB **and MYSQL).
I’m not 100% owner either, but I can execute what I mentioned.
I understand that to run an application with Unreal engine you need a CLOUD, for example AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or others.
My question is based on the type of host I have:
1 - Can I create a server with PHP for a “multiplayer” game
I guess we are talking about a dedicated server
2 - Can I create a session between C ++ and PHP and have good performance?
3 - Will it work and the game / room of UE4 will play without any errors?
That is, without having to run UE4 on the server, why can’t I run C ++ or another language on the server. That is, have a room “id” and that ID keep or keep the game (as a persistence)
- Even if the user logs out, the room remains “active”
- Even if the user exits the game, the room remains “active”
4 - And most importantly, how would the “replicate” act?
I am talking about a server with many limitations. Could I do something?
If I have the connections to the DB with PHP, what should I do with C ++ to connect them through a session ?, websocket ?, or is there another better system?
1 - Is it a good idea to have a PHP server instead of Python, Java or any other for a multiplayer game?
2 - Could I have a PHP server for a game with the UE4 engine?
Or it’s just not worth it.
I read: https://www.php.net/manual/en/featur…webserver.php
