ajax is a way to make javascript talk to mysql for updates without refreshes.

Baseball,

The W3School's web site has a lot of nice tutorials on how to create web pages. Here is a link to the tutorials on using php and ajax.

what does my web engine have to do with eclipse? Eclipse is a VB6 client based mmo engine. Nothing like what I am making. I am using the graphics to test my work out.

He is using Eclipse graphics to test out the engine. No sense in spending the weeks or months to make custom graphics while just working on the engine. Anyone using the engine could add in whatever graphics they want. And Eclipse is the engine made in VB6. Not sure if that is what you were saying. Halls isn't using VB6. He is using JS/AJAX, CSS, PHP, HTML, etc.

Ahh, just confused me a bit since that bit was in the sentence about Halls writing it from scratch lol. But yes, Eclipse was written in VB6. If you can find a way to get VB6, it is fairly easy to edit the source (at least easier than if it was written in C) considering how easy VB6 is to learn and use outside of the ugly COM interface.
