I am starting a project where i want to make the benchmark results of a user search able on the web. The idea being that we will be able to gather data on different CPUs and GPUs to calculate an over all PPD average of a given CPU or GPU. This would be much less intense for the users if they could just upload the benchmark.dat file and then the server code would read it and input all the necessary data into the users profile data base. Also this would keep things honest as the file is in dat format and not a plane text file so not everyone can just edit it at will.
Problem is the server needs to read it and I am planing to code the site in PHP and use mySQL for the database. Not sure how to make it read your dat file.
Can this be done in your opinion? Am i allowed to do this? Any info you can give me on this would be great.
Thanks
