i need some guidance

[Jiraiya]

how would i go about creating a leveling system with php and mysql?

You would start by learning the language. Get a book on php/mysql. Then post back here with your code when you need help.

assuming he does already have at least basic knowlege of PHP and knowlege of using SQL to connect to a mysql db:

what is getting leveled? What causes *whatever* to increase/decrease level?

Umm...to be a bit more explanatory, even if you know the language that will not help.

 

First setup an outline of what you want the script to be able to do.

 

IE: I want the script to take a look at the user's time played and based on the timeplayed give the user a new level. Write out exactly what you want, than one by one code in the pieces.

 

I always start coding with a very descriptive plan that way I stay on track and know what I need to do.

i want the script to increase the level of a player by one when variable "B" reaches 22% increase of its self and then to update variable "B"

May be easier to have a table that sets each level instead, like

 

1 = 1

2 = 100

3 = 500

 

etc

let me see if I got this.

you store a percentage in your db (var B). When you execute some page, you want to check to see if B > 22 { then Level + 1 and update B to some value }

right?

i want to make it so that once a players variable "B" reaches a certain point that the player can click on a link to increase there level by one

[revraz]

As stated, build a table with the values that correspond to the level requirements.

something like

<?php
if($B > 22){ echo '<a href="levelup.php">Level Up!</a>'; }
?>

but you'll of course need the variable $B defined and you'll have to build your own page to do the processing and such. But get the gist?
