How come nobody here uses PDO? Does everyone realise that in just a few versions of PHP, MySQL functions are going to be removed from PHP all together? I have almost fully converted my game over. But anything new I make, I always use PDO. Edit: dug into it a little further and found out they are removing it in PHP 7. However I found out that it will still be available as an add-on. (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_deprecated_functionality_in_php7)

Wow what a fun addicting game :)

Found a small glitch... Still going through code so I may find more.. But in guess.php line 39 you have:   <a href='staff_guess.php?action=new_code'>Go Back</a>";   it should be:   <a href='guess.php'>Go Back</a>";

Well I'm not going to go back and update 50 queries just to keep it consistant. But I did provide a GitHub link... So if someone wants to take the time to update them all to PDO I would be willing to accept the pull request. PDO and MySQli are very similar. PDO is a preference to me. That's like asking why do I like apple's more than oranges! It's just a preference.

As I stated in the post every mod on here I see has been obscured by the forums. It will be preserved on github. And there is no way to see what lines of code has been updated if I modify the mod I find on here. And... If someone has a suggestion it is a lot easier to show me the suggestion. And by the way.... There is a link to download a zip file. The github link is just for programmers that know github and would like to contribute or even make their own version of it. And as for the PDO I only used it in places I updated. PDO is very secure and requires very little worry about hacking. Plus MySQL_ functions are depreciated and soon will not even be available in PHP anymore. And its been so long since I have done it the old mysql_ way I really don't even remember how. But its just the way I code. It's how I do everything I make.
