DarkWater Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 A database, a server with PHP on it, an FTP program to transfer the files and a text editor. That's all that you need. Now, if you need coding ideas, well....that's a different story. You'll want to create user logins, then associate pets with different user IDs in a separate Pets table, NOT in the same table as the users with some long chain of comma separated pet numbers like I've seen before on this site. It's not too hard once you get it. But there are way too many "virtual pet sites" from beginning PHP programmers. Try something unique. =/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113778-okay-i-want-to-make-a-php-script-read-inside/#findComment-584671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWater Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 The most help I could possible offer you right now is some advice. Learn the basics before you try to create some huge project. You'll end up making irreversible mistakes that could have easily been avoided with some knowledge of the language. This is probably the most prevalent reason as to why beginning PHP programmers give on PHP so soon. They undertake some huge project without knowing what they're doing, they get it to "work", then it breaks, they can't fix it, and they give up. If you learn what you're doing and still need help, I'd be happy to offer my assistance where I can.
