That's because you took out that part of the code ... the first line is "class headers" which tells php to create that class. Why have you removed that part of the code? you need it.. The function menuarea() should be a part of the headers.php file, if you don't have it, add it.   then use the following and leave the else if out   if ( $value ="thing") { // action1 } else { // action 2 }

Yes! you missed a good episode with her drawing quite some attention last week :-P

There hasn't been released any game by a mwg developer in collaboration with a publishing party as far as I know. Whether this is interesting or not, is a choice your team should think of properly and weigh the benefits versus the disadvantages, because there are quite a few that might be rather important depending on how your team profiles themselves. A big publisher, like bigpoint or others, require that you play by their rules. Your game will need to adapt certain APIs and methods in order to work with their global player network. This means that you actually need to recode quite a few things without any guarantee that they will accept you, which might take quite a while depending on your actual game. If the concept is truly unique you'll get to the quality testing phase rather easy, but that doesn't mean you'll pass that easily, so keep that in mind as well. They can bring in a huge amount of players however, so that might be a huge benefit, just make sure your game can handle it and be prepared to share your revenue, they don't bring them free ;). Should you take on a publisher? If your concept is quite unique and properly designed, I would say no. Just because you keep in full control and people will come anyway. If it's good, it's good.. But this is something you should decide within your team. Do some research around some publishers, compare them to each other, and get a clear view of the situation and make a decision based on that and not on what we all say.

I know there are quite a few server admins out here, or at least people who have the skill or knowledge to know what they are talking about. So just out of curiosity... What flavour has your websever build if you could decide everything for yourself? What operating system would you use? Packages? like apache, file transfer, database, ... Anything else you wish to share?   This thread is not intended to give or ask support, so please be specific in naming your choices!

In all honesty, I've never heared of this "valheru" engine yet, so I can not tell anything about it... It would be nice if you could supply more information.

May he rest in peace   Now without trying to stir up a flamewar or whatsoever, I wonder what this major change will do to Apple..

Well, as most of you might know, at least those that live in America, I'm not too sure about the other regions, a new season of tv shows has started! I don't know who follows what, and who enjoys what kind of shows, but I was looking forward to it, with all these changes and cliffhangers! So, what do you think of the new season so far? What do you hope to see? I absolutely love HIMYM, and I think it's still to early to comment on Two and a half men, even though, I didn't mind the radical change they went through.

Wheee new season!

Hey, If you're really interested in learning everything step by step, we can help you for sure! I'm willing to talk with you about quite some things, answer your questions, and help you out where I can. However, I will not teach you how to program nor write your code. Just pop in on our IRC chat channel, and we might be able to help. A benefit of joining our IRC channel is that there are more people than just me alone, so you can get answers from various people and eventually get a better view on something from more as one person ;) Just click the "Chat" button on top, or connect to irc.ipocalypse.net and join the channel #php-games

I can imagine that once you're used to it, that it actually is a major improvement between versions of your package. I mean, you reach a point where all features work, you commit, you start to work on another feature locally. As long as that feature doesn't work, the main branch doesn't have any issues whatsoever. You finish your feature, you commit, main branch is updated to the last point where all goes well. Did that last feature have a nasty bug? well then you can just roll-back to a previous point with a simple command. I'm quite sure you can't roll back that easily if you're not using a VCS. Now it probably has it's disadvantages that are quite scary at first. I'm still in this stage at the moment :p Things I wonder, and which I can google rather easily but have not done yet are these. How long is the learning curve in order to work properly with a VCS? Learning how to commit isn't very hard, but I wonder how long it will take one to properly learn how to work with trunks, branches and all of these kinds of things. It might not be as important for a single developer though, but still.. Another thing I have been asking myself for a while is storage related. I'm not sure how much actions (commit, add, del, ..) happen in a large project with multiple developers, but lets say that a single developer uses about 2500 of these actions. All of these changes are stored somehow, but in the end, how much extra space does it take in general?

You already know enough as it is! Whow, 10% of the viewers voted, and 75% of those actually use irc, you all should join the chat channel more often!

Revision Control Software, Version Control Software, ... is probably one of the more important tools that a lot of professional (people who do it on a daily base as job) developers use. I know this might leave out many of our members, yet I still found in an interesting topic to bring up! Maybe it can lead to some uncovering knowledge about these tools and maybe, just maybe that some of our more serious developers might start to use it as well, or at least look into it. I have not given explanation or introduction as to what revision control software actually is on purpose. You either know what it is or you don't. If you don't know it, you probably aren't using it either ;) Depending on the replies and interest, I might write out a thread about the differences and such. I would like to gain a healthy discussion about the different flavours and not a flame war..   There are many more options available than those listed in the polls, but I tried to take the more common options. If you wish to speak about others, please do! So.. what version control software do you use? What are your experiences with VCS?   I only use SVN once in a while, but for most smaller projects I actually use none, however I have the feeling that I might be checking out GIT soon, not that I have any specific reason.

If you consider general use, surely the newer IM clients, like msn will have the upper hand. But I'm not asking for that ;) I just want to know what most people think about IRC and how well they know it. For developers, and gamers too, I still find it an excellent use due to its broad range of possibilities and such.

Our civilization has come to a point where communication is actually rather important and worldwide. Means of communication have been around for ages, however, computers haven't. In terms of the computer-timeline, IRC is rather old, yet by many seen as one of the best means to communicate, better than skype and msn when it comes to multiple user communication. I share that opinion. When people want to chat and receive the quickest live "support" IRC is the best thing out there as far as I know. It just has so many options and it's fairly easy. I'm not going to explain or give an introduction to what IRC actually is, I have just one simple question for everyone. Do you (know how to) use IRC? Just to point out for those that do not know a lot about IRC. IRC is more than wsirc, mIRC or the mwg chat page :)

You had the "display images" option under "browsing options" disabled, I have now enabled it so you should see the images again.

How does it not work? Or where exactly do you mean?

Home based wireless (G), this is not a practical max, I'm capped at this..

And how about something like this? echo '<table class="tables" id="something">...</table>'; what you suggest echo "<table class='tables' id='something'>...</table>"; Suddenly all quotes changed, maybe the OP has a reason why he's using double quotes within his html? I don't see why you need to change those inner double quotes to inner single quotes so you can user outer double quotes, when you can just use outer single quotes.. I mean, with that logic in mind you'd change 500lines of html because you want to use double quotes to start your echo... I really don't understand that..

We would all die what if no person could see any colours?

I understand that, however looking at the OP, he listed some html with double quotes... Yet if you look at some replies, Jaaaacccckkk and CarvellA change all double quotes to single quotes. That is something that I do not understand.

It's an issue with chrome / platform integration, as it only affects some chrome users. For instance, I can't use the syntax highlighter with chrome + ubuntu 11.04, while it all works fine on W7 Pro.

Then you would be counting in the binary. What if there would be no public transit?

I agree with spudinski, nothing beats learning from a book in my opinion. A video tutorial forces you to take up all information at the speed it's made while when you read a book, you go as fast as you want. Also, with a video you can't be distracted for a second or you might miss an important word they say during their explanation. And since you're new to the language, you might not even know you missed something and just go on with it. Books are mostly better written with a clear structure, videos don't have it that well. Videos have their advantages of course, like actually showing something visual, but I don't find that they weigh up to the disadvantages compared to a book.

You'd be a terrible spy   What if we had no internet (connectivity) at all?
