Setting up a (high score) server, how to?

Hi, I was wondering what the best way is to set up a simple highscore server (with name, date and score)?

I'm guessing OUYA doesn't have anything like this themselves, yet. Would I just set up a regular web server with PHP running and send requests there to be put a database? What is the best return method? XML? Json?

How would I set up the connection on the OUYA?

Any hints or pointers would be welcome! Thanks.

    XML or JSON is your choice.  What are you comfortable working with?

    The connection from your game on OUYA would be a simple web request.  And yes, a PHP service accessing a database is perfectly suited for this.

    JSON is so much smaller than XML and is much easier to parse. 

    But yea as KonajuGames said you'll want to set up some simple web requests.
