adthegreat-

I take karma quite seriously. It is definately the closest i can get to faith and religion. I understand what you mean about people kind of trying to pay off karma, i think we share the beleif that it doesn't work like that. I'm trying to think of an example to explain how my understanding differs to that of which you have dexcribed but im having a tough time. I'll say what i think but it may not sum up my opinion completely or be the best example. I dont think that karma is something that should enter your mind on a daily basis. I often get thoughts of religious nature when something significant has happened, or something has touched me, emotionally. At those points I often explain the situations by means of karma.So in that respect, karma is an explanation, not a cause. For example, someone does something that they didnt have to do, or comments about your relationship with them, because of something that you've done. And you think, yeh i supose i have been there for that person etc. But you werent there for the person for the repayment, you were there because of the forces of friendship (don't get me started on that). And you think karma has repayed for kindness. Or something more unattatched. You drop your wallet on the street, someone comes and gives it you, without even thinking of taking it. And i think wow that was nice, kind of reminds me of the time when i gave that guy back his wallet when it fell on the floor*click* what goes around comes around. I also beleive karma can quite primitively be explained scientifically. For example, if you do something nice, and someone notices, i think they are more likely to do something nice for someone else, which will all togther lead to someone doing something nice back to you. And the same the other way round, if you put someone in a bad mood, your gonna get someone elses bad mood come back at you.

I've made a game like this before, unfortunately my creativity doesn't match my programming and therefore it is incomplete. I would definately agree that the hardest thing to do i start, because there are so many components. I would suggest if you havent already that you start by making a simple log-in script, with a register page and a members page. When you have done that, and you have decided what your game is about, make the mysql database that holds all the stats of the players. Then give them ways to increase the stats. Also an ingame messaging system had thinking for quite a while, but once you get the concept it is quite easy. And my last piece of advice to you is to bear security in mind even from the start, otherwise you'll be re-writing your code when you actually see how games like this can be abused if the proper measures are not taken. By security i mean, cleaning all data that is given by the user to take out html javascript whatever, and to assume that every user will try to break your game! Its good to be paranoid! Feel free to PM me if you have any specific problems.

Out of interest, why not use frames, and are there any situations, in your opinion, when frames can be used? What are the alternatives to frames?

Yeah i really like him myself, although In Between Dreams, not so much. If you haven't already I would strongly suggest that you get Brushfire Fairytales, its really chilled out, but the songs are a bit more memorable IMO.

And you probably arent aloud them on 'sidewalks' so its just private property where you can use it.

The watcher (1) - Dr Dre As a matter of fact just play all of the Chronic...

I just got to the hideout and learned how to use materia, that's it. I'm a newbie. 8) And I decided to raise the maturity level so I named my character T3h P3n0r. 8) You have a long way to go, but at least the mood will always be lightened by a little chuckle at 'T3h P3n0r' every now and then. My advice for you would be to learn your characters strengths and weaknesses and keep them in mind when fighting battles. Do you know any of the story line? I wish i hadnt read any spoilers before i played, but unfortunately i was young and naive and found out something about the plot that kind of ruined that part. If not i implore you to just keep playing and that no one in the topic tell him (If you've played ff7 you'll probably know what im talking about). On Topic: I think that FF7 is my favourite game of all time, it was at such a cool time in my life too. I have got FF8, but i hated the magic system so much i've never been past the first disk. FF10 is alot of fun, but it was a little easy. And i havent finished FF10-2.

I was taught that it was scientist's, not sure what nationality. But after reading abit about the history of it all, i think the military did create sending information, but scientists created html as a way to show tablular information, hence

Not bigger pictures, but i would like to know if it is normal to keep a can of spam under your bed?!(bottom left picture) And is scampi from Sooty And Sweep, if not, he looks alot like them!

Found out why, it is because im on A Windows Server, and that means i have to use a different language or form to send mail. :oops:

Code is online, and unfortunately, its a webhosting companies server, so i wouldn't think i would be able to check stuff like that. Or am i wrong, how would you check if checkmail is configured correctly? And as i mentioned before, i have made this work before, the only difference is that i am now on a windows server, as opposed to a linux one. Could that make a difference?

Thanks for the reply, but it's still not working. //send email to new member #153 $to = $email; $subject = "Welcome to ..."; $body = "Hello, and thank you for registering for my game, just go back to the website to login and start playing! I look forward to seeing you. Regards, The ... Team." ; $headers = "From: [email protected]\n"; mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers) ; header("Location: home.php") ; Thats the current code, and its still not working.

Thank you very much Hannibal 8) However i now have another problem, which is outlined in the top post of the topic.

Ohh very nice, 69.9% of my hard-drive free 8) I really like this, the interface is so simple, it really is the perfect way to see what's taking up the space, IMO. Only downside would be that i'll probably forget about it and never use it again, but oh well!

Thats hardly the only use... The main site doesnt have one single login, and still it was without a doubt esiest to do with php ;) PHP is the best language to use when you wish to create dynamic websites, no doubt about that... I said that i thought that was the best use, not the only use, my friend. :) And i'm curious, what exactly about the website is done by php, as you can probably tell my knoweldge is restricted to login's and user dependant pages. Is it the updating of the site that is done by php?

PHP is a cool language, its really best used for displaying websites based on what user is logged in, in my opinion. I would suggest learning at one of these websites http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/php/ and there are loads of other places that you can learn, just a google search away! If you have any problems, pm me, I'm fairly new to it, so i might be able to put it in 'human terms' for you, if you don't understand something.

Hey guys, I'm designing a website based on php and mysql, and part of this website, is the restriction of certain pages with a time limit. I first thought about setting this time limit with cookies, then i thought people would just delete their cookies. That led me to sessions, but after thinking about that, you could just close the browser and reopen it to get around the time limits. So lastly, a failsafe (i hope) method i am going to implement is a table in my MySQL db, that contains a field for last time you viewed that page. Then take todays date and time and compare it to see if the required amount of seconds has passed. However i am unsure of how to do this, the only way i thought of doing that would be by something like taking the last time the page was viewed, away from the time now. But this would leave an undesired and very inversatile figure that i can't do much with. I would imagine there is a very simple solution, but, I'm having trouble finding it at the moment, so any help is welcome! Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Now that that was sorted out, i've run into some more difficulties with sending emails using PHP... The code i am using is... $to = $email; $subject = "Welcome to ..."; $body = "Hello, and thank you for registering for my game, ... , just go back to the website to login and start playing! I look forward to seeing you. Regards, The .. team $headers = "From: [email protected]\n"; mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers); header("Location: member.php"); It doesnt show any error messages, but it doesnt send any emails out. I have tried sending it to two emails, a hotmail and googlemail, and i have looked in the spam section of both accounts, with no luck. What the script is supposed to do, is once the user's have registered, basically thank them. And i have made this work before, and I'm sure it was with the same code, but obviously there is some negligence that is causing it to malfunction. Lastly, to try and solve the problem, i made member.php echo $_SESSION['email'] which was defined as $email and it shows the correct email it should be sending to. I'm guessing this means that there is an error in the mail() funtion i am using.

Or you could get insurance. But either way, phones get outdated very quickly now days. So i wouldn't sign up for a 3 year contract in any case, regardless of how attractive the offer is.

Accounts, it just seems logical to me, and I can't help but admire the complexities and subtle adjustments that shape the way we account for businesses.

Who do you support? Are you saying that we chose who would make it to the final? If we would have lost those matches, I'm sure you would be talking about that too now, so what were we supposed to do?

3 hours outside the apollo theatre in London to see Kanye West, it was totally worth it, we were right at the front.

Phone up customer services, ask to speak to billing, sound all sad and ask why its on there. On certain networks it gets the job done.

Don't be so defensive, Nad was just advising you that if you put a little more effort into your post, the topic would be incomparably better. I quite liked the first Nickelback song that came out, but it was more classed as pop to me then. I'm not sure if its the same song or even considered relevant, but i really liked the song that the singer of Nickelback did for the Spiderman soundtrack.

I definitely felt a bit "abducted by aliens" when I first listened to 'OK Computer', so go for it!
