Can someone help D=

janusmccarthy · October 12, 2009

Okay, I'm going to fix this for you, but a few things.

...BEGIN SOAPBOX

1. You do not own scripts you have not paid for and did not develop yourself. Don't put a copyright on it. You haven't earned that right. Someone is letting you use that code freely, but THEY own that code. Give credit where credit is due.

2. Learn the language if you're going to ask for help. If you aren't doing the basic work in trying to understand something, you shouldn't ask for someone to do it for you without compensation. We couldn't ask you basic questions about your code. It's one thing to not know the ins and outs of a language when its something you write, because you still know what its trying to do. It's another thing to grab something without knowing what it does, muck with it, and then ask for help without doing your part.

...END SOAPBOX

You'll want to put back your common.php and get user name methods.

I told you, I do C++ and Lua, I am new to PHP, and I am copyrighting the page, not his work. And, the guy who made it did not copyright it or claim a GPL or GNU license on it.
