Hi, i am thinking of creating a text based game mmorpg using php/mysql etc... I know that a lot of these types of games use a tick based system, but i want it to be realtime, the only game i cna find that uses this is Torn, does anyone know how they make it realtime? I know that ticks can be controlled by cronjobs, but how about realtime? The problem is that the game might involve the player building a house, in a tick based system it could be easy to manage by saying the house will take 3 ticks to complete, but i want the house to be like in 10 minutes of 32 minutes, how can i do this. Someone said to check whenever the player next logs in to check if the house has finished and then say it has been built, but seeing as it is an mmorpg it could affect everyones gameplay, not just the person building it, so this will not work. Thanks and sorry if this is a bit confusing.

Yes i did, but i think it just installs the whole upload process of which i don't want to change from mine, i had a bit more of a look and i think what i want is iframing, but not sure.

Hi thanks for the reply, but my website already uplaods files, i just want to make it look more professional, so when the file is uploading a box appears in the middle of the screen saying something like scanning/uploading, i want to be able to code this myself. Any ideas on how i can do that?

i am currently trying to add a uploading/scanning screen to my file upload site, (just to be clear i need the 'design' part of it, like actually displaying the box not anything to do with the scanners, or implementing the scanners, just a box that says scanning with a scanning gif next to it). Pretty much my site allows people to upload files which scans them and then displays the result. All the scanners are up and working but i am trying to add this scanning page. I want it to look a bit like this when you upload a file - www.virustotal.com How would I be able to do this? You don't have to be very specific just like what programming languages, or any examples of code, to help me, i don't really know where to start. Here is my website www.zerovirus.org Thanks for your help

Hi, i am developing a website that involves members uploading files. For better security i want to be able to scan the file with a variety of AV scanners. I have done some research and the easiest way to do this seems to use command line scanners. I am currently testing on my own computer using xampp. The problem is when i run the scan it displays the output 0 which means no virus found and i know that the file is infected because i ran the same AV scan through the windows command prompt and it found the virus. Here is the code <?php exec("C:\\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2012\avgscana.exe\ /SCAN=daniel_crypted.exe/"); $result = exec("echo %ERRORLEVEL%"); ?> Any ideas why it is doing this? Thanks

Hi i am having a little trouble with my jquery tabs, for some reason it loads the first tab content, but when i select another tab the content is not displayed. When i try to go back to the first tab it doesnt load either. Here is the html <div id="content"> <div id="tabsX"> <div id="tabContent"> <ul class="tabs"> <li><a id="all" href="#all" class="all">All</a></li> <li><a id="free" href="#free" class="free">Free</a></li> <li><a id="paid" href="#paid" class="paid">Paid</a></li> <li><a id="completed" href="#completed" class="completed">Completed</a></li> <div id="filter"><select name="filterQuest"> <option>Name</option> <option>Payout</option> <option>Difficulty</option> </select></div> </ul> <div class="tab_container"> <div id="all" class="tab_content"> asddd </div> <div id="free" class="tab_content"> <!--Content-->adadada </div> <div id="paid" class="tab_content"> <!--Content-->adad </div> <div id="completed" class="tab_content"> <!--Content-->adsasd </div> </div><!--- end tab_container---> </div><!---end tab content---> <br class="clear" /> </div><!--- end tabsX---> <div id="tournament"></div><!--- end tournament---> </div><!--- end content---> Here is the javascript <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { //Default Action $(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all content $("ul.tabs li:first").addClass("active").show(); //Activate first tab $(".tab_content:first").show(); //Show first tab content //On Click Event $("ul.tabs li").click(function() { $("ul.tabs li").removeClass("active"); //Remove any "active" class $(this).addClass("active"); //Add "active" class to selected tab $(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all tab content var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); //Find the rel attribute value to identify the active tab + content $(activeTab).fadeIn(); //Fade in the active content return false; }); }); </script> Any Ideas, Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply, the div i want to center is #accountContent and i want it to expand horizontally. Is there anything i can do to make this work? Thanks

Hi i am trying to center a div that auto expands depending on the content, however the div must be fixed positioned with a background that can also expand and contract with the div. I have gotten pretty far with the coding of this, however have struck a problem that i can't seem to fix. So far the div expands and contracts depending on the content and is fixed positioned, but it is not centered and won't center for some reason. Here is the html <div id="accountBar"> <div id="accountContent">sdfsdfsdffsdf</div><!---end accountContent---> </div><!--- end accountBar---> Here is the css #accountBar { height: 56px; width: 100%; border: thin dotted #333; margin-top: 56px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: auto; position: fixed; } #accountBar #accountContent { height: 56px; margin-top: 0; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: auto; background-image: url(../images/accountBar.png); background-repeat: repeat-x; display: inline-block; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; } Thanks for any help you can give

Hi i am trying to develop my registration page it is a combination of multistep (tabs) with real time validation which is sort of working ok, it validates on entry which is really good, however when i include the script JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script> which is for the form validation, for some reason the next button for the tabs do not work, when i take it out the next buttons work but the form validation does not. Any ideas? All the code for the next button is at the bottom of the code below, the code for the validation is in a seperate file and is pretty big, so ask if you want me to include it.

Hi, i have added a section to my website where it loops each record, and it does this pretty well, however i want to add a button that if pressed closes the record, like an ignore button, would this require a database where it stores the record closed so that it never opens it to the user again. Any ideas you have about this i could use. Heres my code for the loop. <?php while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_cpa)) : ?> <?php extract($row);?> <div class="offers"> <div class="picture"><img src="images/images.jpg" width="125" height="125" /></div><!----end picture----> <div class="offer_content"> <div class="offer_info"> <h6><?php print "$name";?></h6><p><?php print "$description";?></p> <p><?php print "$requirements";?></p> </div><!----end offer_info----> <div class="offer_tools"> <h6><?php print "$penny_value";?></h6> <p>Pennies</p> <h6><a href="<?php print "$url";?>user_id=<?php print "$id";?>&offer_id=<?php print "$offerid";?>">Begin</a></h6> <h6>CLOSE</h6> </div><!----end offer_tools----> </div><!----end offer_content----> <div class="cpa_footer"> <p>Payout: <?php print "$payout";?> || Difficulty: <?php print "$difficulty";?> || <?php print "$free";?></p> </div><!----end cpa_footer----> </div><!----end offers----> <?php endwhile ?> The close button is located in the offer_tools div. Thanks for your help

Hi, i have been learning to build websites for the past year and mainly focus on server side coding, however for my next website i want to concentrate on the client side usability and search engines. I was wondering what the best way is to design a website before adding all the php etc... I usually build the website first in photoshop, slice it then export as web and devices, i then add the php after in dreamweaver. I was wondering if there was a better way to create better functionality and better results to search engines. Also, are most of the big websites built in this way also or are there alternatives. Thanks for your help.

Ok thanks for the help, i am looking at it now, looks more confusing than i thought it would be, but i will give it a shot. Thanks

Hi iam currently writing some code for my website and i have a number of records that i simply want to display in a table format, i have done this in a while loop and it works well, however i only want to display a maximum of 10 records per page as my div needs to be a fixed height and was wondering how i could include a next button that would act as like a page number. The thing is at any given point there could be from 1 record to display to 500, so i need a way of allowing the user to quickly navigate to the other records. How can i do this without using mulitple pages. Hope this makes sense. Heres my code <?php echo"<table width='100%' border='1' align='center'><tr><th>Referal Name</th><th>Amount Received</tr>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_info)) { extract($row); echo "<tr><td align='center'>".$username."</td><td align='center'>".$cumulative_referral."</td></tr>"; } echo "</table>"; ?> Thanks for your help
