PhpManager
This class provides methods to dialog with php files. To implement the methods of this class you need a server to host php files and a database. Php files and MySQL query to create the appropriate table are provided in the GitHub repository.
Try to contact server and, if the connection is successful, set url to mega archive in megaurl and the tag of the last version available in lastVer. This method should not be used if the game is stored in a GitLab repository, in that case version tag can be retrieved with XVLauncher.UpdateHandler.GetLatestRelease, while megaurl is no more useful.
true if the conncection is successful, false otherwise.
Assign to user a new auto-increment ID.

Update user current version in the database. Since in the database the column last_date is setted as ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, this method can also be used to update that column. For example, it can be called whenever the game is launched, so the database will register the last time each id has launched the game. It can be useful to know if someone is still playing the game (using the application/using whatever this launcher is used to) after months or years.
