i apologize what i wanted to ask was:

In game development the resource system you know wood stone stuff like that you get let's say 3200 wood per hour or 6200 if you are a higher lvl on the wood cutter. How should i make this update? when the user logins? page refresh... this is what i wanted to know i've read on a website that most of the games use cron jobs to update the resources gained per hour ..

Well, then you have your answer, don't you?

[bogdaniel]

yes but ... i wanted to be sure ... if the cron job is the good choice or no

[plznty]

make it so that level is used in the calculation sum of generating how many wood you gain per hour.

For example

$increase = 0.1;
$level = [GET LEVEL];
$MATH = $level * $increase;

I think that was one of your questions, if cron jobs was the only answer you was looking for please click "Topic Solved"
