Hello and anyone want to help a plonker? :P

[The Coder]

Hi guys, recently over the years, I've took liking to RPG mafia text based browser games, which inspired me to make my own. I'm really bad at coding in all honestly, I know the basics and all such as, FTP client usage, uploading files to pecific directories. But in general, a 5 year old could do that, haha. But all I ask from you guys is a little help all. :)

Shall we start? :P I'm "coder" or a want-to-be one. :P Anyhow, where do I start guys? I'm really eager, I just want to start creating,but as of yet, I want to test this out on a sub domain, If I like I may transport to a actual paid host. Please no tuts and such, I'm already doing that myself, I just want to instantly start regardless of my skill, I'll learn on the way. :P What should I start of doing guys, as in what type of php file should I start with? Any paticular software I need? Or is notepad is all of what is required to implement?

Many thanks guys! :)

Hints:

Read what you can find around:

And other content here:

If you never really coded, maybe start from the very basis (how to make an hello world page) and grow from there, or the other road is to start with an engine (free or not).

There is no free version of V2 or redux. Both engines cost.

Thanks, I've tested some stuff with the free script, its good and simple which I like very simple for a fact, there was a simple folder to upload from. What am I to expect when I buy the v2 version? Like the same? A simple upload folder with scripts? And as I'm new to coding, I'm still learning, just a quick question, how do I hyper link with PHP scripting?

Thanks! :)

Images - <img src='blah.jpg' title='blah' alt='blah' />

Hyperlink = echo "<a href='http://www.blah.com'>Bleh</a>";

Images - <img src='blah.jpg' title='blah' alt='blah' />

Hyperlink = echo "<a href='http://www.blah.com'>Bleh</a>";

Thanks man, btw I understand the "blah.com" example, but when you say "Bleh" do you mean a value or a function to do sorty thing?

Where it says "Bleh" is what you would want the link to say.

For example -

<a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a>

would look like this -

Google

[The Coder]

Images - <img src='blah.jpg' title='blah' alt='blah' />

Hyperlink = echo "<a href='http://www.blah.com'>Bleh</a>";

Sorry, I meant by alt. :P What does that mean?

Mind my stupidity. :P

The alt property is for the alternate text that will show in the event that: the page is rendered before the image is loaded, the viewer restricts images from being loaded, or if the image data is corrupted. There are more reasons the alternate text will be shown but those are probably the most common.

The alt tag specifies an alternate text to display in the case the image can't load.

Hey guys, I've done what you told me with these codes:-

<html>

<body>

<?php

<img src='logo.jpg' title='logo' alt='registernow.png' />

?>

<html>

<body>

However I get this error on my site:-

PHP Error Message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/a9269778/public_html/default.php on line 5

Can someone explain whats wrong please. :)

You have to encase the image in a print or echo statement.

Change: <img src='logo.jpg' title='logo' alt='registernow.png' />

To: echo "<img src='logo.jpg' title='logo' alt='registernow.png' />";

Go study --too short-- Edited June 19, 2012 by mixmaster

And start first with HTML as all your questions are HTML related. Enough tutorial around. Start to work a bit, read, try and learn. You choose to start something hard, then you need to invest the effort.

Ok thanks all. :)
