£30-40 Could get you a sort of decent coder, but I wouldn't trust people with your game who don't even deserve £10 for game security. :)   P.S: Jordan, abit cheap for you isn't it? I think your money in the £70-85 :P

Hi there, Well I saw this newspaper on a game, and thought I might create the same. There might be another one around, but I haven't seen any, so what the heck. ---------------------- SQL'S:   [mysql]CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `paper` ( `content` longtext NOT NULL) ENGINE=MyISAM ; INSERT INTO `paper` VALUES('XXXXX');[/mysql]   [mysql]CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `npaper` ( `npID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `npADDER` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `npTITLE` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `npBODY` text NOT NULL, `npTIME` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`npID`)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=20 ;[/mysql]   ----------------------   PHP Files: Create/replace newspaper.php with this code below:   require_once(DIRNAME(__FILE__) .

But if some do appear, please comment or PM. :) Sorry, it comes out weird. :S Cheers, Rasheed Saeed

Wait, what am I on about? What do you mean GAP? Maybe a screen shot could help. :)

I think he's on about the "mainmenu.php" Empty. Try to work something out there.

I like it. Plain and simple. Good use of colours, not stuck to the top of the page. Well done Richard. :thumbup:

@ AlabamaHit: Thanks for the information. I'm not sure myself, I saw Djkanna use something on the line like that, but I personally think Wikipedia could sort us both out, lol. Thanks for the info again. @ Sniko: I'll take your work on this. NOTE: I never saw Djkanna use the ( ' ' ) numbers, so don't take judgement of him any. *Not you guys* ;)

I saw a recent post from Djkanna, using the same techniques and he said it helps performance. Iv'e tried it on my mates TESTER game, seems to bring the speed up. :)

Dave, you do have a point. It's free so no need to moan, but Darren is right, security does matter. If people get a free UN-secured mod & they have a secured say "MMC" (lol..), and that 1 file is a more chance of getting hacked. But, it's only around £2 to get it secured. So, yeah I am with you, but some security could be added, for the newbies sake. :) Find, this:   $ip = ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];   Replace with:   $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];   Thank Jordan - Pudda for this. I've seen a recent post of this saying just use this. :) NOTE: I Don't know if this will secure your game BLAH or its just an IP detector or something with IP'S.

OK, why are we getting into arguments? @ CJ - Twitch Thanks for the free header, looking good. All though, maybe securing it for the noobs who can't secure(like myself). Maybe securing it would be better for everyone. @ ROZ Any need? Really, I see you on most post's like this. -__- @ Danny Typical response, but what the hall, you make sense. :P

Nope, just not good at PHP. ^^ But in a couple of months Ill be learning it, hopefully I can remember $_GET. :P

$_GET. Yeah! I knew that. :| Lol, thanks Danny for the reminder :thumbup:

Lol. If this is for your incoming MCC game. I'm sure CB or Dabs could help you through support & MSN. ;)

Yet again, PHP knowledge is poor. Normally I see $GET_. But many more options could be used, I don't know. And if you can't work it out, try to work something out on the halloffame.php. It could help.

1 Thing!(and more..): I love the Usersbars stats, fantastic sorry to cry this out. But hell there amazing. Banner: Love the smudge/blur what ever you used on the font. :) Mainmenu: The colours don't really suit. Would be nice, if the Spike things were going into the Image. My main problem, its to open mate. Try to close it in. ;) Apart from that. Great work again Sniko. And agreed. You should get into graphics.

Ah, thank you for the information. Really helped. ;)

Personally, I use require_once('') or include_once(''). Mainly require_once(). As I see just using include() or require(), you just continueslly include the file you want, over & over again. Somehow like A loop. 8| I think this may slowdown your performance, event cause "lag" somehow, I don't know I make this stuff up, lol. But when using require_once() or include_once() your just asking to include that file ONCE. -------------- [mysql]$q=$db->query("SELECT u.*,c.* FROM users[/mysql] All I know of SQL so far that the * means your selecting all columns. So why use 2 stars? - Prove me wrong If I am, please do. Want to get as much knowledge. :) Also, for performance, [mysql]("UPDATE users SET break=1")[/mysql] Could be.. [mysql]("UPDATE `users` SET `break` = '1' ")[/mysql] Please tell me if I am wrong, and tell me how. Like I said, I want the knowledge. :P

Correct me if I am wrong, but I've seen a few sprintf() around on a modification. And most tend to have ( before & ) at the end.   Example:   echo (sprintf("Rank: %s ", number_format(get_gamerank))); // Code for Crimgame   I might just be chatting on, but just curious. :P
