Hi im not sure if this error has always been there but i just noticed it.

It seems like it showed up after my game was spammed by some program that injects a bunch of usernames and into your database

Any way heres the error code i am getting

Warning: Division by zero in /home/kushcent/public_html/header.php on line 68

and when i navigate to line 68 i see this

$experc = (int) ($ir['exp'] / $ir['exp_needed'] * 100);

any help much apreciated :)

Warning: Division by zero in /home/kushcent/public_html/header.php on line 68

...

$experc = (int) ($ir['exp'] / $ir['exp_needed'] * 100);

Which suggests that $ir['exp_needed'] is zero does it not? -- IIRC the exp_needed is calculated in the function check_level() in globals.php, something along the lines of pow($ir['level'] + 1, 3) * 2.2 which even for a missing, or null level would produce a semi-sane value therefore the problem is elsewhere.

echo / print_r / var_dump is your friend here - ie try inserting something like:

echo "<pre>"; print_r($ir); echo"</pre>";

just prior to line 68. Does the contents look sane? Are you looking at the right database? etc etc.

Depending on the maths and its application then yes in some cases what I stated is false. However in this application its true hence the error thrown as that how they have designed PHP to work.

Now if you wish to make a more complex calculation to make it work in PHP then by all means do so.
