Off Topic: ODBC, MySql, and PHP

[CNCRaymond]

I stumbled upon the game Blacknova Traders, and was able to pick up the files to run said game on a server. The problem is, I know nothing about ODBC (Access) Sql, or PHP4.

The instruction are greek to me, or mostly. I have figured out some basic stuff, but this whole data base crap has got me by the throat.

Any one familar with how to create a simple ODBC in access? (I figure it is more complicated than even I suspect.)

Php has in-build MySQL controls try using those instead. Or switch to PERL and use DBI http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

If u could sent me the files I could look them and tell u more.

Thanks, but I discovered that the webhosting service that I have has it included. I managed to get the game to work, but there are some issues that I am still trying to work out.

(Turns do not regenerate over time when they should be.)
