If you're after a connection identifier then it's - $data = mysql_connect('','',''); $database = mysql_select_db('',$data); Then use $database. As for calling them in another file, if the file is included so are all set values e.g. if the above is connect.php include 'connect.php'; // can call other...

The problem with OOP in php is next to some languages the Object orientated version is strange. The idea is to load only what you need, and yet by default php has a large library of functions to load for you... I would suggest you look into the basics of an OOP based programming languages (e.g. Pyth...

Php does have the abs() function for making sure a number is positive.

I found phpAcademy though another forum, and that via yet another forum. Its how people find new sites and being on many often means you’re up to date with current php events. As for phpAcademy being the “Key” I disagree. The Key will be to bring more members that are not on there or, if at all poss...

I don't know if I need eval or not, it was what I found on the web. I am not storing IP's in the database. This is the only post I will ever show IP of the visitor. Think about sites like whatismyip.com etc. More or less what has already been said then... <?php // some of the file echo 'Your IP is ...

Dominion

Sorry, but why do you need eval to show something like an ip from the database? Just grab it with a query, and show it.

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT `user_ip` FROM `somewhere` WHERE...");
$user = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);
echo 'your ip is '. $user['ip_name'];

I don't use any of the stuff on any forums that say "customize this" it's kind of pointless. That's what I want to change ;) How about making it more like a social networking profile ? with an activity feed, comments and all that nonsense ? Thought you were asking what could be left out f...

I don't use any of the stuff on any forums that say "customize this" it's kind of pointless. saying that if you have something like a banner that links back to the profile it can be free advertising... and people use them.

Cookies for a login can be fine, but you must encrypt any data stored in them. To be honest sessions are better for it. Yes people use cookies as both "remember me" functions, and for login's.

when using if() {} elseif () {} 's you should only have "else" on it's own for if all if() have failed. having a random else, then an elseif will not work. it works i just had it the wrong way around As i said you can't have a random else in the middle of elseif()'s has to be at the end.....

Notepad++ for any quick edits. Netbeansfor anything more then that.

The extra load is why loading time become ridiculously high. Yes a picture is just data, but not data this type of database is optimized for.

Dominion

You may want to explain that loading time for stored images is ridiculously high, and the it's been designed to store data not images rather then just saying it's bad?
Your best bet it to store the files. If you need the path to the files in the database so be it.

ORDER BY RAND() <- you should never use order by RAND().

To go massively off-topic, would videos on javascript or html/css things be good ? Or should I stick with php ? just basic one player things? No fun unless it's multiplayer ;) It would be nice to see someone do something with Js without using Jquery :lol: Well there are a fair few basic game engine...

Dominion

Php game : rather open don't you think?
Would you want it all php, some Js in it (makes one play games more fun online...), and also what kind of "game" do you want here? a tutorial series to make the bare-bones of a game site/ just basic one player things?

Dominion

Due to using mibbits server the client I almost always use cannot connect, however i am in there every now, and then.

Dominion

What kind of things are you looking for? My library has a fair few security check functions, but all the more useful functions I use tend to be site specific. Would I be able to add some JS functions?
btw - Js functions != using Jquery
