I want to use the FFR API, but I suck at web coding

**Trumpet63** · 01-8-2015, 05:24 PM

I asked my friend who knows a lot more about web coding things than I do, and he says:

1. I need a webserver to make an http request

2. The best option is Apache, but it's a nightmare to set up.

Now, I think I know what a webserver is, but not really what an http request is. And I assume I'm going to have to use php somewhere, but really all I'm trying to do is some math operations on the levelranks. Something simple like this page.

To be clear though, I don't necessarily care if individuals can access the page at this point, I know that requires having a web host, and money. I just want something like a file I can open with my browser, or if it has to be an .exe, that's fine too.

Umm... help please?
