im currently trying to make a game in php with mysql (i hear i need these) and i was wondering if anyone had any tips? itll be a text-based game where energy is spent to train skills and get items. also, are there any good php, mysql etc. tutorials i should see?
I sent you a PM with links to all of the PHP Tutorials I've made. I suggest you take a look here to see the syntactical structure of MySQL. There are zillions of PHP tutorials out there, but this guy introduces PHP in a way that allows you to understand what you are doing. Note that his syntax is terrible though. You can use the MySQLi driver class in PHP to connect to a database like so: PHP: $db = new mysqli('localhost', 'userName', 'password', 'dbName'); In order to use the instantiated class inside the $db variable, you simply utilize it like any class: PHP: $db->query("SELECT * FROM `someTable`"); Other functions like mysqli_fetch_array are also useful in selecting data from the query and reverting it into an array. You can check out a sypnosis of the methods within the MySQLi driver class here. If you need any help, just pm me.
