Hi I just started trying to learn alittle about php and mysql. Im trying to get an open sorce code (a game called promisance) to work, but im haveing problems with mysql.


this is the begining of install instructions
To install Promisance, you will need:

1. A webserver (Apache is preferred)
2. PHP4 version 4.0.5 or greater; you may use a module for your
  webserver, but the CGI binary is required for the turns script
3. PHP GD library 1.8 or greater for the '# players registered' image
  generator
4. MySQL version 3.23.36 or greater
5. Knowledge necessary to configure crontab jobs.

Installing Promisance can be done in nine easy steps:

1. Extract Promisance to its own path, one visible from your web
  server.

2. If you wish to add new races or eras, edit prom.sql to your liking.
  Note that if you wish to add additional eras, you must also edit:
  * funcs.php:      line 201, to define exploration multipliers
                    line 252, to define any era bonuses while taking
                              turns
  * magicfun.php:  line 87, to define the magic spell names
  * promisance.css: line 119, to define the era-specific colors

3. Create a MySQL database for Promisance.
  If you cannot create a database (e.g. you do not have permission),
  you may rename the SQL tables by editing prom.sql and const.php
  accordingly.

4. Create the MySQL tables:
  $ mysql -uusername -p[password] databasename <prom.sql

5. Edit const.php to your liking (taking care to set the database
  host/login/password variables)

6. Browse to the folder in which you have installed Promisance.
  Click the 'Signup' link and create your account.
  You will be given the following privileges:
  * 'Set User' to any other user in the game.
  * User Administration - check for multis, disable/delete accounts,
    etc.
  * Clan Administration - edit any clan as if you are the founder.
  * View Empire Communications - filter through all messages sent
    in-game; this is ideal for bringing attention to usage of
    profanity or any other violations of game rules.

7. Copy the following text into the public page from which you will
  allow users to create accounts and log into Promisance:


<img style="background-color:white;width:48px;height:16px" src="/promisance/promisance.php?action=count&amp;digits=3&amp;style=1" alt="[num]"> Players Registered<br>
<form method="post" action="/promisance/promisance.php?action=login">
<div>
Username: <input type="text" name="login_username" size="8"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="login_password" size="8"><br>
<input type="submit" name="do_login" value="Login">
</div>
</form>
<a href="/promisance/promisance.php?action=signup"><b>- Create Empire -</b></a><br>
<a href="/promisance/promisance.php?action=top10"><b>- Top 10 Players -</b></a><br>

8. Make a crontab entry to run the turns script:
  "/usr/local/bin/php turns.php"
  substituting the proper path to the PHP CGI binary.
  Schedule it according to the settings you chose in const.php.

9. If you wish to use the game's directory as a front page, you may
  edit index.php, removing the Header("...") command and replacing it
  with code to generate your own front page.

Notes:
    The first account created is given administrative privileges.
It is flagged such that other empires are not capable of attacking or
sending aid to you.  As such, you will also be unable to access the war
center and you will not be allowed to join clans.
    Through User Administration, you may appoint other users to be
administrators, giving them the same abilities and restrictions as
you.




im stuck on the create msql table #5..... what do i do? also #4 with edit prom.sql?
Here is the const.php i believe it set right becouse it conects to the database ( before i set the database name, password ,and all, the game would say the database was down)

Welcome to Promisance, testing (#)!
Please Login and manage your new empire!


I beleive this error is due to me not finishing the install  (not knowing how to edit prom.sql or createing the table    $ mysql -uusername -p[password] databasename <prom.sql  ) and not a problem with funcs.php
If anyone could please tell me how to create the sql table and edit prom.sql as in install instuctions #4 and #5 i would be very happy!

Yikes... this is definitely not the right place for this type of question.  From the errors, it looks like there are errors in the php code, or the DB setup... but that's a question for whomever supplied you with the code.
