BetterPHP

You should not write your code in all lowercase letters. It makes it extremely hard to follow your code. SQL is especially hard to read when all lowercase. Here's a few pointers: Make the "keywords" all caps. [syntax=php]$sql = "SELECT user_id,body, stamp FROM posts WHERE user_id in (...

You're welcome
No matter how stupid your questions may be, don't be afraid to ask them. I am happy to help!

It really does not matter at all what other information you store in your database. For this purpose only the timestamp is relevant. You need to take your timestamp, which is just a long string of numbers ( 1391071823 ) and see if the date is today, if not, then allow to post. I would do this simply...

There are many things you can do here. Most of them includes timestamps. One way is making a new column for the users in your db and insert a timestamp in it every time the user posts, and then compare that with your servers local timestamp and do some math to figure out if the post was made today o...

The thing about this forum is we won't actually write any code for you. You'll have to do all that by yourself. If I wanted to write code for people I would take up (another) freelancing job, and get paid for it. You write as much code as you can manage by yourself, and me and the others here will c...

I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're trying to do. Instead of calling them Folder1,2 and 3, give them a real name.

You have many ways of auto refreshing.
You can:
Auto refresh using ajax / javascript. This is essentially the same as pressing F5 every few minutes.
Run a Cron Job.

However, making it update when someone joins requires push notifications, and that's not something I can easily explain.

there is quite a bit of work if you're completely new to php, but if you start somewhere I'll be happy to help.

Is it this one?

There is nothing to be sorry for. This isn't your day job!

Just send me a PM on here and it'll go to my email inbox.

If he's taking "Time off" it would still be a good idea to let us know about it. Right now we're fumbling in the dark, not really knowing if he's abandoned ship completely or if he's just locked up in the captains quarters, contemplating life. I've sent him a few emails to no avail, and I'...

I've considered it on multiple occasions, but it's a whole lot of work for little to no reward. We will not get any of the ad revenue. Jacek will recieve every cent. We also can't do any modifications to the forums, and the spambots are running rampant. If we draw more attention here it will only br...

First of all, the colors!!! They are hurting my eyes!! Design wise, you have some work do to, clearly. But otherwise it's looking like you've got the basics done. I would, instead of having a drop down list with how many options you want, either let the user type in the number himself or show him a ...

People pick ASP because it's Microsoft. Very rarely have I seen people who know what they are talking about pick ASP over PHP, it happens sometimes but very rarely. It usually happens with people who learnt ASP before anything else. If he likes MVC why not just use a MVC framework for PHP? ASP is m...

To whoever still comes here... These past few years have been real fun.
I've learnt so much from you guys!

Even though this place isn't as active as it used to be, I still wish every single one of you a happy new year and hope next year is better than the last.


Best Regards, Temor.

Sorry for being so absent this past month. I just came back and was overwhelmed by all the spam. Over 45.000 spam posts!!! :O I'll do my best to start checking here every day from now on. And if things ever get really bad, you can always email me using the button on my profile or send me a private m...

I don't think so. It comes and goes. It worked the other day and then some time today it did not. Now it seems like it's working again

/Edit; Nope... Doesn't work now.

That's quite a bit of code. It'll take some time looking through it and learning your code before I can make any judgement.
I'll get back to you.

Is the official BetterPHP (SomethingCraft) server down?

I guess so... I haven't been able to connect.

I'm playing public servers at the moment. There are a bunch of free ones with thousands of slots on them, like Armadacraft.

Yes that is exactly what I meant, sorry for being so vague
