"I would like to create a browser-based text RPG, using PHP and MySQL as the backend. It must have these features [describe them]" That depends on where you're using it. If you're using a browser version, chances are you'll be copy/pasting. If you're using a plugin with your editor (Junie for JetBrains, for example, or a Claude API extension in VSCode), then you can instruct it - after granting permissions - to add/edit/delete files at will Yes. Migration shims have existed for years. No public-facing AI is generative (even if it claims to be) as they're fed source material and "create" from that. Everything is regurgitated without context. So, with that in mind, the existence of a shim being publicly available (Git), and the simple ability to read, an AI could update PHP5 to PHP8 practices. Be sure to specify which version of PHP8. For example; 8.3 introduces a number of breaking changes to code that would otherwise be fine in PHP8.2 (current latest is 8.5.8 and I loooooooove the deprecations - can do so much more with so much less now! Let it be known that I bloody well hate AI and the ego a number of self-entitled "developers" (vibe coders) seem to pack with it. Studies by MIT have shown that those who depend on AI incur up to a 47% drop in connectivity and engagement, combined with a 32-ish% decrease in critical thinking and short-term memory recollection. I'm not stopping you from using it, nor am I trying to dissuade you. It is a tool like any other and, like any other, it can be misused. All I can advise, strongly, is that you don't let robots think for you

For legal reasons, as one of the site administrators; I must state that if you are seeking legal or medical advice, that you seek vetted professionals. This place is for the cause of our mental issues, not dealing with them 😛 Also, for context; here's a newscast from Helpnet Security, posted 5 days ago about a RAT attack that affected Claude users. CVE-2026-7574 and CVE-2026-7596 are just 2 recent entries into the exploit database concerning Claude. Final note; if we can stop casting unfounded accusations based on correlational data, that'd be awesome, thanks. You posted on MWG, your site was attacked afterwards. If I may make the suggestion; the sudden exposure on a relatively-high traffic website might have attracted a bad actor or two - the norm with most sites that gain traction.

That is a genius idea and I love every part of this

That rar contains 1 CSS file (comprised mostly of Bootstrap extracts) and 1 AI-generated image. Was that the intended upload?

It's a session thing. Try swapping to file-based sessions instead of DB sessions. And I've just realised we've fully hijacked a thread here. Apologies, OP!

You'll have to check your server's mail configuration. It appears your host has an ... alternative ... setup to the more commonly-found ones, so the default mail() call might not be enough

This is correct and the intended fix. If the .env is invalid or incorrectly generated, it's simply easier to make the site regenerate it after re-filling the form. Seeing as the installer checks to see if the .env file exists to get past that step, deleting an incorrect .env is the way to go - I didn't automate this to prevent a potential race condition which would introduce an endless loop

It's a dotfile, so you may need to toggle the "Show hidden files" option in cPanel's File Manager

See the .env.local file that ships with gRPG v2. It'll shed some light on what your .env needs to resemble

What a weird restriction!

Do you have anything like Sentry to automatically report errors to you? Coupled with user reports, such a tool can be invaluable

Awwww, hell yeah! Colour me keen. Samsung Galaxy S23 here. I will swear by Android ❤️

RSS feed to the forum - notifies me of spambot posts, too 😉 I'm actually somewhat excited to see how this project turns out. Keep up the good work! ^.^

Oi! That's lookin' really good!

Merry Calendar Change Day!
