Notepad.

[The Coder]

Hello all, I've recently been testing out a few things with V1 of Mccodes engine, and I want to completely change the index page for a member, I want to start off with something basic, how would you code a notepad for a member to save whatever content they wish to save?

Thanks! :)

Take a look at the staffnotes on the viewuser page and tweak it to your needs. Though, as a general rule, notepads are advised against unless you know some security. They're a big danger for SQL injections.

Thanks mate, stupid of me not knowing there is a such feature as staffnotes. :P And what do you mean by danger? I'm still learning, when I come across security, I'll look into these dangers.

Thanks. :)

Read up on injections. Basically, it means some asshole player alters the MYSQL query and changes something in your game. Could be anything from giving out millions of crystals to changing themselves to admins. Pretty much one of the biggest problems for all text-based games.

Read up on mysqli and prepared statements would be better.
