ive never played risk but keep in mind, the game doesnt need to be exactly based off risk. u can make ur own ideas and change the rules around to be fit. i say go for it. one thing that turns alot of people away from web based games are limited turns per day or paying money to get an advantage. i say ads should be a factor on your site but dont make them annoying

in php, whenever you put ../directory, it outputs differently then "../directory" in html. go to the page that has the link, right click, and view source. it has the full url in it. "../" is just a php command for 'up one directory'

verbally when you say it out loud it sounds smoother to say site.com/fred .. also, when someone mispells a real directory name, it might say "user not found" instead of page not found. keep that in mind ..i would personally put "page not found"

if you live near any good big book stores i would go and pick up a book or 2 on php/mysql. they really help. there are of course many great online guides. when you understand how the syntax works, study up on the functions over at php.net

hotscripts.com has tons of chat scripts. personlly(i know this isnt php), i like pjirc. cgi irc is another good one.

wtf.johnson no..little wrong buddy. echo "http://yoursite.com/users/".$username."/"; or in most cases you can echo "http://yoursite.com/users/$username/";

you can try using an html iframe with no borders to a seperate .php file but that might be dumb. also make sure your hosting supports php.

im sorry im not quite sure i understand what your trying to do. how would your sql password be displayed to the public? im advanced intermediate with php..not so much with ajax. so it might just be me. lol

yeah thats what my impression was when i joined a long time ago. i suggest studying up on php.net.. thinks like fwrite,fsockopen,and etc. are used alot in php. also, i learned alot from reading books on php. i went from beginner to intermediate because i bought a couple books on php&mysql from a book store. you learn more out of those books in 2 days then you can in weeks learning on your own just trying to understand tutorials(not to put down phpfreaks' tutorials they are great but mostly when you understand them). phpfreaks community is almost like your personal debugger when something has gone wrong. i used to IM all my contacts every time i had a problem and half the time they didnt know. lol

i would also like to know this.i have come acrossed this problem before but what i did was make everybody who was working on it go into an IRC channel while they work,and give constant updates as to what they are working on if there was more then one person working at a time. our website was big enough to have several people work on it at once without conflict

i like the third suggestion..writing code that produces no errors.

gerk i disagree. there is a class that determines if they are logged in or not. i suggest looking around for the file with the logout link and see how it works.

yeah i love php designer as well. for small tweaks and things i use notepad but for actual coding, i use php designer pro. i use the debugger on it as well..i dont get how people write entire scripts in notepad and not use this. i understand that they think they are 'too pro' for it, but it makes getting things done faster and easier on the eyes. its bulky kind of like dreamweaver but not too much to make me not like it. it still leaves a big text box,which i love. anybody know of anything better?

narcotic, i too was going to suggest php designer 2007 but i dont know if it will work under vista and even if it does,i have no idea how the debugger will work.

i dont beleive php gd supports gif because of licensing issues. im not 100% sure but thats what i remember
