MP Server : Share Account ?

HI, I've a lot of questions to ask ;p

1. I want to make a server, and a website wich Display Players Stats etc...
But, savegame are encrypted, and, I'm so a newbie in coding... I would like convert *.fl savegame in a good SQL-Database.. and no for cheating or something else. There is a ressource ? A program ? Or what can I do ( In PHP ) ? I think it will be very usefull for many server's website.

2. I would know if it's possible to connect two servers together, with same accounts, in the same world, but with two IP. Or if there's an another Server soft for FreeLancer. Else, if it's possible to update when a player leave a server his account on two servers... [Maybe by TCP/IP ( It would be cool to have many servers, and if there's a laggy server to change, and to recover his account ;p )..

And I repeat, I'm a really a noobs in coding ( I mean in hex decrypt, library etc.. ).

Thx to help

1: That should be possible; Sherlog would be one to ask (look at the saved game thread in this forum)

2: That's almost certainly do-able; when a player exits a server, just send his state file to all the other servers. Pretty simple, though the TCP/IP and the server interface code might take a while. I'd consider doing that myself, but I'm too busy with other projects (FLMM and Nibblon).
