Solved Need help sending commands from website to server console!

Hey guys,
So, I just want to be pointed in the right direction on how to make it so that when I press a button on my website, it will then send a command to the console.
For example, if I made a button called 'Diamond',

HTML:

<div class="button" href="#">Diamond</div>

It would then send 'give someplayer diamond 1' to the server console, which would then output on the server.

Here's what I think I could do:
- Button clicked
- Website logs info on SQL database
- Server queries every 5 secounds, and finds the new entry
- Server performs command

Does anyone here know an easier way?

Thanks!

 

JSONAPI is a great tool, if you're using PHP. There is a Ruby version available, somewhere... But JSONAPI is the way forward for things like this.

 

Thanks Harry! Always wondered what that JSONAPI plugin was that I had to install all the time...

 

Why did you have to install it all the time? If you didn't know what it was, you probably shouldn't have been using it
