[scotty42]

How about a tutorial for a PHP script that allows a user to build a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style story.
Kinda like this: http://makeyourownadventure.ning.com/

[ghqwerty]

all that is is a pimped up switch argument. you could run the info along the url bar or through hidden form fields and then use the switch function to find the correct 'section' of the story to display

[akozlik]

If you're looking for importing an Excel file into a MySQL database, I already covered it here

If you want to save an Excel file as a csv you should be able to just use File>Save As...

Well... I guess requesting a tutorial here doesn't always get ya one, or even a link to an existing one, or even a book recommendation that includes such a script......
But hey! I did eventually find the script I was looking for:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/extend-a-story/

Glad you found a script that works for you. We tend not to write tutorials on how to build large projects. Rather, we write tutorials to help you accomplish a specific thing. If you were having trouble with a particular part of your application we'd have been able to help you more, but to show you how to do the entire thing would take more time than I think people have.

That in mind, you may want to search around for some tutorials on software and game design. Once you've read some of those you may be better prepared to take on your project.

Finally, check out the tutorials on

Gamasutra

Well, I've learned (X)HTML, CSS, and a little(Very little) php, in the time I've been with this site but after HTML i don't know why but it's been really hard for me to remember the codes.
Now I wouldn't ask anybody to go hrough the trouble to write a tut just for me about anythng, but maybe somebody knows about a website i can learn it from that I don't know about
I've tried w3schools, aside from this, and it was prety good but still a bit fast paced.
(And I very well may have missed a good tutorial that's on this site)

I appreciate any help, I'm desperate =P

CMS Tutorial with php and MySql

[cam888]

Hello, I would like to learn how to pass variables using sessions. i can't find a tutorial that makes sense to me. i'm very new at php.

i know how to get variables from forms but want to display an already defined variable on another page when the user pushes a submit button.

for example:
$fname ="Carlos";

//now, on another page i want to be able to show display the $fname variable.

I would like to learn more about sessions so feel free to go more into depth but i need to start at beginning.

thank you very much.

There already is one:

Hi all, my scenario:

Upon entry of a url (through form submit button) i need to obtain the number of words and number of hyperlinks on that submitted url page. Am i best off using php file handling to first create a text file then analyse the source code to obtain the info or is there a more automated way? Ideally the user doesn't want to see any browser windows or such, just enter the url and get the numbers.

Overview
I was looking at creating a simple 'navigability test' application to save the source code of a submitted url into a txt file through php file handling, once it is entered into a form by me. The test simply to find the ratio of words to hyperlinks in that text file and retaining those 1or2 values. Then i want to approach linking a database(MySQL) and manipulating/displaying the results through a html interface. The latter stages im more or less comfortable with its the initial event of obtaining the values for analysis that im struggling fathoming. Is there a wiser approach though?

1.Do i even need to create a text file to analyse the web page for the number of words/links?
2.Is this easily approachable with php script or should i try pursuing an applet or otherwise to complete this task?
3.Is this the best approach???

*Available languages for me include perl php and jsp and
sorry i went on ok!..

Any thoughts on architechture/functions/methods/tutorial pointers greatly appreciated, many thanks my intellectual elders.

I would like to see a socket tutorial. Maybe something basic like sending and receiving messages.

[akozlik]

That's a pretty good idea. I'll write one up this week.

I'm looking for either a script (or the start of one) or a good tutorial on creating a hierarchical (inheritance-based) permissions system for PHP. (All my attempts quickly become fubar)

I've been searching to no avail for a couple months now. All I'm finding are scripts and tutorials that are either several years w/o an update, or poorly written.

A thousand thanks to any takers.



Thanks!
