Dude, you're videos are immense! Really helpful!

I've come across a quite major problem though, and i was wondering if you or any other users can help me out?

When i go into my browser and go through localhost/tutorial/test.php, i get an error message, a 404 not found message saying that the page was not found on the server....I then type in localhost/tutorial/test.php.txt and the page comes up with the coding i've just written

Can anyone help me out here? I'm desperate

Thanks,
//Elliot

When you saved the file, it sounds like it got the *.txt extension added on. Rename the file "test.php" and it should work.

Hi,
How can I find out how many tables down the player is? I might use this for my highscores.

[hallsofvallhalla]

i am not sure what you mean. Tables down?

[Torniquet]

i think he means rows.

to do a high score table is simple.

decide what you want to have the catagory as. (level, most gold etc)

then use a query similar to this...

Code: Select all

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT username, level FROM user_table ORDER BY level DESC LIMIT 10");

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
  echo "user: " . $row['username'] . " level: " . $row['level'] . "<br />";
}

the order by is your catagory you want, ordered by decending (DESC) then your limt is how every many rows you want to submit. so this would display the top 10 levelers.
