How do i put Username And p-word?

[Dynamite]

I wanna make an online game but how do i put a username and password so the user can login into there account.

do i use an INI file object? [obj_INI]
or mooclick/moogames.

For an online game, you would need a central store of usernames and their passwords. I'd use the MooClick object to communicate with a PHP page that compares the results against a MySQL database (keeping the passwords stored as MD5 hashes if you want to be secure about it).

I'm going to be submitting a tutorial related to this in the next fortnight or so.

Does anyone know any PHP... that actually works?!?

I've tried countless tutorials, uploaded them to PHP-allowing hosts but none of them every seem to work

[DavidN]

Well, hopefully I'll be able to change that.

(As for PHP that actually works, just about my entire site is built on it, so... yes.)

I'll also be very interested in this. This is exactly what i have been looking for!

The tutorial was uploaded a while ago - it's under "Online scores" at http://www.clickteam.com/eng/learning_resources.php

Unfortunately it's already joined the ranks of "PHP that doesn't work" because Byethost introduced some mad redirection/forced adverts on their free servers a couple of weeks after I uploaded the example file. The tutorial will still work (though not on Byethost) but the example files won't.

Jam has recently released an extension called "Live Receiver" that makes communication with PHP files significantly easier. I'd recommend using that along with the PHP side of my own tutorial, on whatever free server you can find.

Things like this are always difficult because of the huge variation in servers, how they expect to receive data and how they give it back. What works fine on my St Andrews account often breaks entirely when ported over elsewhere.
