Solved Read files in server data folder with php

Hello!

I was wondering if it is possible to read files inside the server's data map with php?
Do you need to pick a specific hosting company to get access to this map?

Are you trying to read the map file with PHP?

 

@sqroot, yes I do, but if you know a better way, feel free to tell me!
I just need to get data from a file in the server data folder to display on my website.

If it is possible with php that would be great since I have some experience using the language.

 

Are you trying to read the server/identity/oxide/data folder or the map file? I'm still not quite sure about what you're trying to do.

 

He might be trying to read the player.db or whatever that one is called(that stores player data). Not sure either though

 

Sorry for the confusion, @sqroot and @DylanSMR

On my server a plugin is running that saves player data into a json file.
This file with all the player data is located in the following folder: \server\MyRustServer\oxide\data

I want to read the content of the player data file to my website with php. (if possible, otherwise another language is also OK)

Hope I explained it well this time.

 

Yeah, this is more understandable.
If your host provides FTP, simply connect via FTP using PHP, download the file to your server and deserialize it using a JSON reader with PHP.

 

@sqroot, thanks for clearing this up for me.
I am happy to know this is possible using FTP, now I only need to look for a host that provides it!

@Wulf, thanks for the input, I meant a file that is generated by a plugin that is running on my server that keeps track of player data.
so thankfully I don't have to bother decoding not human readable files

I appreciate the time you guys took to help me!
