Hmm, you could take a look at LOTGD (Just google it smile.gif), although I would assume that's pretty complex.

PHP Games will be fairly easy to make once you know the language.. You should really focus on the basics before learning to make a game. Apart from that, I'd have to ask what type of game you're talking about.

A pre-built game is not the best way to learn PHP. It is always better to try building things yourself.
Start with a small project, or even some of the tutorials here on DIC and work your way up to a game.

Take a look at the game I mentioned then, but really, learn PHP before learning how to make a game...

Editing a game and copying the codes is a copyright hazard. So just stick to reading it learning it and righting it

Wow that is just ... "double-post"... Lol.

Anyways. Didnīt you seen that in those posts above, almost everyone told you to not try learning PHP from games / open-source, whatever?

It is really not a good start point.
UNLESS you are already familiar to C++ or JS or something...

If you don't have any experience with PHP, or any language for that matter, you're much, much better picking up a book. You'll probably just confuse yourself trying to pick apart a web-based game.

you're wrong about that felix, PHP can be used to make a text-based MMORPG-browser game. and other stuff.

anyways, would it be better to learn html and css to be able to make a website from top to bottom, or is it better to use a program to make the website, for example DreamWeaver?
