common guys i made it understanderbull

[shortj75]

do you have any code started so we can see what you are working with because no one here is gonna want to write out a long and really coplex code for someone else to use but if you have a code that is started or just needs tweeling you will get alot of help and for future reference if you have a problem post your code in your first topic and you will get helped if help is possible for the code much quicker sorry if that sounds like i am comming off rude i am not meaning to

[zq29]

The best thing to help you on your way would be a list of the functions I would use here, then you can look them up in the manual to see how they work and how they are used. Most manual pages have examples scripts and plenty of user input to get a good idea of where to start. If you are unaware of the manual, you can find it at php.net.


[b][u]Downloading the file[/u][/b]
fopen()
fread() / file_get_contents()
fclose()

[b][u]Put in table[/u][/b]
explode()
count()
for()
mysql_query()

[b][u]Creating bars[/u][/b]
mysql_query()
mysql_fetch_assoc()
while()
Probably best to do this with a set of images, maybe 10 different ones, each one with the bar slightly more filled in, then use a switch() or elseif() control structure to decide which image to use for the current number.
