Can someone make me a file? It's quite short...

philvia

It would be best if you have AIM or MSN but if you don't then we can communicate through here...
If you want to help then just post saying you do and i'll give you the descriptions and what the names of my tables and such are.

what sort of file?

PyroX

I a made you a file:

 _______
 |            |\
 |              |
 |              |
 |  file.txt  |
 |              |
 -------------

All well that turned out like crap.

No really, you need some kind of MySQL file?

philvia

a php file... i'm sure it's really easy to all of you. I don't know how to do what I wanna do.

PyroX

Sure, here is a php file:

text file : info.php:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

You need to say what you want.

What do you want IN the file.

philvia

i want you to be able to send a request to enter a faction...

to connect to the database use

<?
$pagetitle="Send Request";
include("../include/head.php");
echo $harsss;
?>

and here is the table you'll need

factions

the feilds are

factionid, name, boardid

I want there to be a list of all the current factions on the left with a radio check box next to each of them.

$sql="SELECT * FROM factions ORDER BY factionid";
$result=@mysql_query($sql)";
while ($myrow=@mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<tr><td align="center">".$myrow["name"]."</td></tr>";

then on the right a space where you can enter a message and then a Submit button.
When you click the Submit button i want it to make a topic on the faction board.

The person who clicked the Submit button will be the topic creator and the message would say like...

User 'username' has sent a request to join 'factioname'.
'username' has sent the following message.
'message'

why not just have them email you instead of putting it in a dbase? or are you using that info later on?

philvia

cause i prefer my site to be automated and 'top-of-the-line' sending you an email will work but it's just a crappy way of requesting to be in a faction.

PyroX

automated and 'top-of-the-line'

Time to really get into programming then, the first part is done, you have slected the best web langauge.

No go gets some books and study up! 😉

philvia

I already know general PHP but i don't think that that covers what i'm trying to do.

FrozNic

so is spending money on something that would take you 10 minutes to learn how to do lol.. :eek: lol, don't post in a forum that's about trying to learn php if you don't have a question on how to do something, sure, some of us would rip you off hard core and tell you we could do what your saying for 50 bucks or whatever, but, what you're asking isn't hard for you to do yourself, you'd learn some good basics of php, and be more reliable on yourself instead of others.. if you need help on something that you don't know how to do, or need to know where to go to do it, ask, but don't ask us to do your work, that's our biggest peeve is someone who is too lazy to do work for themselves, give it, you did say you'd pay .. but, it's much more rewarding if you do it yourself and understand it... just my thoughts

philvia

o______________________Ok

FrozNic

lol, anyway, i'm sure someone out there will read your post and probly msg you and ask u how much u want for it.. but either way, if u'd rather pay someone to do it for you it's your choice... sorry if i offended you.

philvia

yes, you offended me very much so.
