PHP - Game Trading Application
Hello
I am making a game trading web application for class. Here are the requirements: You must be able to register and log in, you must be able to list games you have to trade and games you want, you must be able to search users that want games you have and users that have games you want, you must be able to accept and make trades, on trade finalization screen you must be able to rate user 1-5, view the users shipping address, and leave a comment on the users page. You do not have to be able to view other users pages, but on your home page you must be able to view your average rating. I am the most advanced programmer in my group so this has been a little tough. I have a login page and a registration page, I have a user home page, a add games page, a view feedback/ratings page, and a my games page where you can delete games. What I'm stuck on is the page that allows you to search users by games they want and games you want, and the trade finalization page. On the search page I would like to combine the functionality of searching for users with games you want and games they want with the ability to make a trade offer. The way we have it drawn up is using radio buttons to select either show people with games I want and show people wanting my games. When one is selected it will populate a list of usersnames in a drop down menu that fit whichever choice was made. We drew up four list boxes that populate lists when we select a user name, one box populates the games they have, one populates the games they want, one populates the games I have and one populates games I want. We want to be able to select game titles and move them to a list box of games I want and another to a list box of games willing to trade, lastly a submit offer button. We are debating on if this is the best set up given the requirements needing to be met. I think there is more here than what we need, we have 1 week to do this and I am doing all the programming so I am looking for the easiest way to search users that want games I have/have games I want and display the results giving me the option to select games to trade and make an offer. We are also arguing on if we have to use JavaScript to do this or if it can all be done within php. The trade finalization page would have a drop down menu where you select the user name of completed trades and upon selection lists will be populated of games they gave, games I gave and the address to send the game. It will also have a form where we can rate the user and leave a comment. This page I need help with cause again we disagree on having to use JavaScript or not. We are using phpMyAdmin and the db tables we have a tblgame - list of games I have added tblgamestatuscode - gives game a code that determines if it is wanted, to trade, or traded tblmember - member registration tblplatform - platform the game is on (Xbox, Xbox 360, Playstation2, Playstation3, PC, and Wii) tbltransaction - date traded and a status change code tbltransactiondetail - gameID and trans ID tbltransactionparty - memberID, transID, rating, comments, status change accepted We are also using adodb. Please help if you can. I will gladly give more information if needed. Similar TutorialsHi, I need a small help. Here is my situation. I am using a MVC application (e.g. Joomla or Drupal) which has a .htaccess redirect rule that all requests are passed through index.php file. That's normal and this is my main application. Now I installed another application within the application folder structure. What I want do do here is to allow opening the third party application URLs after one logged into my main application. Can anybody provide me some pointers to do the same? Please let me know if you need any further information on this. Any solution irrespective of framework will work. Thanks! Anupam Hello, I am building an online game(users make a character and move on a map and so on...)
All user data is stored in a mySQL database and I want the users to interact in real-time, but there can be a 1-3 second delay between the communication, but not exceed 3 seconds even if 500 players are playing at the same time.
But for the purpose of the question let's say the users can only chat between one another, if I'll have a solution for that then I can use the same method for more parts of the game.
I can't use websockets because my webhost doesn't support it( I don't want to use pusher.com).
I know I can make real-time apps with ajax long polling, but I think that with 500 players playing at the same time it's not the best solution.
So, finally:
How can I make user interaction as close as possible to a real-time game?
(Without too much load on the hosting server)
(I am sorry if some of my terms are not correct - I am just getting back to coding after a long time...)
Edited by Mythion, 17 August 2014 - 02:34 AM. Hi all, this is my first time on this forum! I have a background with HTML and CSS but have recently started a Masters in Computer Science hoping to come out of it with the tools to get a job with PHP development. Our first assignment has somewhat 'thrown me in the deep end' as we have to construct a search engine that indexes the words of a number of documents and rank them using the TF*IDF algorithm along with the log rule associated with Information retrieval. I am completely new to PHP so the past week has been something of a crash course - This is the code I have so far: Code: [Select] <?php $filename = 'airlines.txt'; $fp = fopen( $filename, 'r' ); $file_contents = fread( $fp, filesize( $filename ) ); fclose( $fp ); //$new_contents = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", $file_contents); /*$file_contents = trim($file_contents); $file_contents = preg_replace('/\h+/', ' ', $file_contents); $file_contents = preg_replace('/\v{3,}/', PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL, $file_contents); */ $pat[0] = "/^\s+/"; $pat[1] = "/\s{2,}/"; $pat[2] = "/\s+\$/"; $rep[0] = ""; $rep[1] = " "; $rep[2] = ""; $new_contents = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9\s\s+]/","",$file_contents); $new_contents = preg_replace($pat,$rep,$new_contents); //preg_replace('~\s{2,}~', ' ', $text); $commonWords = array('a','able','about','above'........and another few hundreds cut out of this not to hurt your eyes!); $lines = explode ( "\n", $new_contents); $lines2 = implode (" ", $lines); $words = explode ( " ", $lines2 ); $useful_words = array_diff( $words, $commonWords ); /*for($i = 0; $i < count($lines); $i++) { echo "Piece $i = $lines[$i] <br />"; }*/ for($i = 0; $i < count($useful_words); $i++) { echo "Words $i = $useful_words[$i] <br />"; } //$arr=array("blah1","blah2","blah3"); file_put_contents("demo2.txt",implode(" ",$useful_words)); //$file_c = file_get_contents("demo.txt"); //$colms = explode(",",trim($file_c)); //print_r($colms); //echo $lines[2]; ?> I've got to the stage where that strips out most of the stop words when the final array is printed, but they have been replaced with spaces or something that I have not come acoss because as you may see I had a bit of trouble originally stripping the punctuation marks. I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction as to how to organise the words I have left after the stripping of stop words which are of no use during the search. I need to store those words into another array and index them which says how many times they appear in that document. I've come across the function array array_count_values ( array $input ) on the manual but I'm not sure about the best way to use it. I've attached the files I've used if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am building program to manage payment/monthly payments. I've ran into an issue that I haven't been able to overcome and need some help. I've been lurking for a while and decided it was time to ask you guys...Here's the issue: I have a table 'payments' that contains scheduled payments that looks like: id clientid paymentduedate balance expected pending 367 112233 4/16/2011 1030.00 257.50 Y 368 112233 5/16/2011 1030.00 257.50 Y 369 112233 6/16/2011 1030.00 257.50 Y 370 112233 7/16/2011 1030.00 257.50 Y What I need to do that I haven't figured out is to adjust the expected amount according to the payment, update the status to N (not pending) without affecting the later expected payments. For example: they make a payment of $257.50, applies that to row 367, sets the status to N, but leaves the other status' to Y (for obvious reasons). the make a payment of $250.00, leaving the balance at $7.50, so lets add $7.50 to row 368, mark 367 status to N the make a payment of $300.00, leaving the expected balance at $0.00 for row 367, but adjust the balance for row 368 to $215.00 Any ideas? Thanks Hey all I have an error in my Facebook application and I'm not sure what's wrong (New to PHP). The error output is: Code: [Select] Warning: array_rand() [function.array-rand]: Second argument has to be between 1 and the number of elements in the array in /home/app/view.php on line 15 And the PHP lines are as follows: $friends = $facebook->api('/me/friends'); print_r(array_rand($friends, 3)); i got this application more then 10 years, all this years nothing happend, untill prev week, someone to lazzy to filled all the info required, but after submitting the form, their uncomplete info just being printed on the database. Which mean the required field code didnt work 2 all, all this year,.. what a dissapointment. Can someone take a look at my scripts and fixed please [attachment deleted by admin] There are ten list or bookmarks from Prof. Horner's Bible-Reading System found (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=46416541831) each having set number of books from the Bible. One is to read ten chapters a day, one chapter from each of the bookmarks. Type in what day you are on and the program will show you on each of the lists as to what chapter you are suppose to be on.

Exciting opportunity for someone wanting to get a foot in the door in the world of IT!!
I am looking to save the user's access of an application. For instance, when they log in, I create a record in the "track_login" table which includes information such as the requesting IP, the user's ID, the date, (not the user's password), etc. And then for every page they visit, I store a record in the "track_page_viewed" table which includes a FK to the "track_login" table and also includes additional information about their request.
Both the track_login and track_page_viewed tables are currently in the same database as used by the primary application.
So far, so good.
Next, I want to start tracking when a user does special tasks such as when they forget their password and request that a new one be emailed to them. Or maybe when they attempt to login with an invalid username and password. Currently, I just included another table called "track_special" which includes the data, the type of special request, etc.
Now, I am thinking of adding three other things to track:
General PHP errors
MySQL errors
Try/Catch errors which I did not expect to happen
One option is just to add these to my "track_special" table or maybe make one or three new tables in the same database.
But is this a good idea? If I have a SQL error, do I really want to store the error in the same database? Maybe I should use a separate database called "myTrackerDB", and include all the above tables in that database? Or maybe I should just write the data to a flat file, and parse the file on a regular basis, and then store the information in the database?
Please provide any recommendations, guidance, suggestions, criticism, etc. Thank you
Would it be possible to create a passive socket server using php, for a client-server php app, that runs as some sort of daemon? I understand that you probably can't understand much of what I mean, but I hope you understand enough to help me in some way. PHP APPLICATION - > APPLICATION SERVER - > DATABASE(S) Explanation: Each instance of the PHP application would connect to the "Application Server" and use it to fetch information and perform some commands. Could this be done using sockets ? Simple examples would help Thank You! I need to develop a web based bulk SMS application to integrated into my existing website which is written in PHP.
That means I shall use my authentication script to lock it down.
The application should be able to pull phone numbers from MYSQL database, and from a specified list.
If you can do this or need more information, reach out to me.
Thanks.
My application has 3 user types. Admin , User and Super Admin. Users can register as either Admin or User. Each user type has different UI and functionality. The problem: If a particular type of user reports a problem/bug in his/her login, it is difficult to pin point to the exact problem. So if I could able to login as that user, then it will be very easy to point out the bug/problem. So I'm looking for some kind of master password. Using any username and the master password I should be able to login AS that user. Any suggestions..? I typically structure my applications something like the following. I lump general functionality into a given component. For instance, I might have com_users component which deals with user administration, and implements the ability to view a list of users, view a given user, delete a user, edit a user, etc. This structure was borrowed long ago from my learning PHP Joomla days which I no longer use. index.php figures out which component is being accessed, evokes the controller which gets data from the model and sends the data to the view. The view defined in each component only deals with the central content, and mainTemplate.php deals with the peripheral. First question. Is there anything inherently wrong with this approach? Second question. I am looking to start using Twig. Would this same structure work? I would replace /var/www/html/lib/templates/mainTemplate.php with a Twig file, and replace var/www/components/component1/views/view-1-1.php, etc with Twig files which extends the main Twig template. /var/www/components/component1/controllers/controller-1-1.php /var/www/components/component1/controllers/controller-1-2.php /var/www/components/component1/models/model-1-1.php /var/www/components/component1/views/view-1-1.php /var/www/components/component2/etc/etc /var/www/html/lib/templates/mainTemplate.php /var/www/html/lib/templates/mainCSS.css /var/www/html/lib/js/someJSforAllComponents.js /var/www/html/lib/components/component1/js/someJSForComponent1.js /var/www/html/index.php Hello php gurus,...i need some help here for my php online quiz application. I am doing an online quiz application,where at first a tutor will enter the question and selection of answers,and following by the correct answer through a form. Code: [Select] <html> <body> <form action="insert.php" method="post"> <p>Question: <input type="text" name="Q" /> </p ><p>Answer1: <input type="text" name="A" /> </p> <p>Answer2: <input type="text" name="B" /> </p> <p>Correct Answer: <input type="text" name="ans" /> </p> <p> <input type="submit" /> </p> </form> </body> </html> All the details will be sent to mysql database,and the database structure will be like this : Quote Question AnswerA AnswerB CorrectAnswer 1+1 2 4 A 2+3 6 5 B After that,i have created a php codes to retrieve the Questions from database,and display it in webpage,and the AnswerA and AnswerB will be shown in radio button.So users can choose the answer using radio button... My problem is,i don't know how to compare the 'value' in radio button with the 'CorrectAnswer' in the database,to know the correct answer. And also don't have idea how to calculate the correct answer and getting the results. So,if anyone could help me..i will be really gratefull... Hope can get the solution....plss help me Thank you very much I have attached my documents here...

Thank you! My game on facebook is being displayed in the facebook application iframe. When users register in firefox or google chrome everything is fine and to a certain extent in IE as well. However, when logging into the game, through the browsers the game loads fine except when loaded in IE.... Basically i am using a session to state that the game is currently in facebook mode: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['isface'] = 1; include("game.php"); ?> All is good until it hits this code: Code: [Select] <html> <frameset cols="130" noresize border=0> <frame src="nav.php" name="nav"> <frame src="hq.php" name="main"> </frameset> </html> The frames then output error message: Code: [Select] <?php if ($isface !="1") { if (sha1($info[4]) != $pass) { mysql_close(); echo $isface; die("<br><br><center><body bgcolor='#000000'><b><font color='#FFFFFF' face='Verdana' size='2pt'>{$isface} Your username cannot be found or password doesnt match</font></b></center></body></html>"); } } ?> essentially the game is using cookies for authentication on the main site, but since this is facebook this is not needed so it SHOULD skip this check and proceed with using the facebook details as the login. this is only happening in IE... i dont get it. any ideas? |
