Raidation

No offense, but what exactly is the point of this? Wouldn't it be easier to mess with the internals of Linux as least as possible? A background program would be much safer, right?and I DO have a Linux, if you're going to say I understand nothing about Linux.

Yes I do. I'm working on a new one right now.

Yes I have made games before.
( Offense taken. )

Mission Control

So... why do you want to know? If I haven't gone through this painful process before, why would I post it?

Well, as the topic says, you can make money by making Flash games.

The way this works is:

1. You make a really good game.

2. You send it to a sponsor for approval.

3. Register your games on MochiAds.

4. $)

1. You make a really good game.

I think this is simple. Make a really good Flash game. It has to be Flash. It cannot be C++, DirectX, Java, etc...

Try to add as many elements as possible. Once again, make it really good.

2. You send it to a sponsor for approval.

[sarcasm]This is possibly the most complicated part of the process.[/sarcasm]

Examples of sponsors are AddictingGames, Miniclip, and Doppler.

You send them an email, they approve of the game, and they send you money to put their ad in your game. Then, they host your game.

3. Register your games on MochiAds.

This part is optional. It's only for additional money.

Basically, you register for a developer account, post your game on there, and they send you money for every ad that's viewed.

4. $)

Really? Have you really gotten far enough to learn what "$)" means?

Flash is part of CS4...O.oAdobe bought Macromedia a long time ago.

Well, if you want to make games, I would really suggest Game Maker and Flash.Game Maker is a simple, easy to learn program. You could make commercial games with it, too. Even an MMORPG. I remember working on one, but both team members kind of got lost in other things.Flash is good if you want to make real money. If you can make a really good game and get it sponsored, you can earn somewhere around $5000 to $7000 a month.I use both. GM (Game Maker) for prototypes, and Flash for the final versions.

I use Game Maker for prototypes, then use Flash to make the actual games.I use Flash so I can get the game sponsored...$)

well, I don't know of any that can give you a free domain + hosting.However, Frihost does give you a free subdomain and POP3+SMTP email.

yes, they're basically the same, but just different companies. WAMP, however, is only for Windows.I prefer to use my method because it provides more freedom.

Actually, a better alternative of Java would be Flash, although it's not compatible with Linux. :PFlash is a lot easier to program than Java, and it's more lightweight.

I wrote this tutorial a long time ago, but it still works, and is still useful.

Download the PHP 5.3 VC6 x86 Thread Safe ZIP package. That's the most complete one.

But if you do install PHP, then you also need to install Apache
Don't download from a mirror. Download directly from their site.
Go to the Win32 Binary without crypto (no mod_ssl) (MSI Installer) option for Apache 2.2.11
And install Apache server.
When you get to the server information, you don't need that, so just type in anything you want.
And install.

Then, you need to install MySQL.
Choose the package that fits you and use the MSI Installer.
When you're installing, choose the following options:
-Detailed Configuration
-Developer Machine
-Non-Transactional Database Only (that is, if you're not selling or buying)
-Decision Support
-Enable TCP/IP Networking and Uncheck Strict Mode. And Check Add Firewall Exception.
-Best Support for Multilingualism
-Check Install as Windows Service and choose MySQL. And also check Launch Automatically. And include the Bin directory in Windows PATH.
-Uncheck Modify Security Settings
-And finally, press Execute.

If everything is perfect, then it should start. If not, then go to your Start Menu > MySQL > MySQL Server 5.1 > MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard

And ReConfigure with the same settings above.

Well, now that we have the installing done, time to go back to PHP. You shouldn't have done anything with that ZIP package yet. Now you need to make a folder called PHP in your C:\ Drive and extract all the files into that folder.

In your PHP folder, look for a file called php.ini-developer. Rename it to php.ini (sound familiar?).
Look for the line that starts with doc_root. Give it the value "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs" with the quotes if you installed Apache in the default directory.
Now, after that, look for the line that starts with extension_dir and give it the value "C:\PHP\ext" with the quotation marks, of course.
Now go to the lines that have the word "extension" preceded by a semi-colon and followed by a dll name.
Remove the semi-colon from the line that says ;extension=php_mysqli.dll
That will be your MySQL extension. Don't remove the semi-colon from ;extension=php_mysql.dll
The "i" in mysqli means improved.
You're almost done.
Look for session.save_path
Make sure the line does NOT precede with a semi-colon. Give it the value "C:\WINDOWS\Temp" or whatever your computer's temporary directory is.
Now you're done with the php.ini file.

Next, you have to set up Apache's httpd.conf file.
Go into your C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf directory and look for the file httpd.conf
You can edit it only if you're an Administrator, so if you're not, edit it as an Administrator.
Fortunately for you, all that confusing code has already been made by the installer, so you're okay there.
Look for:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
And after index.html, add index.php
Then, add this to the VERY END of the file:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"

And that's it.
Next to update your MySQL server (I know, it's tiring. I don't know how long this tutorial is so far. All I know is that I'm tired.).
Go into command prompt. If you don't know how to do that, then... I can't help you.
Type in the command:
mysqladmin -u root -p password "Type in new password here with the quotation marks"

Then, you will be prompted to enter in your old password. Just press enter.
Then, you're done with MySQL.

Now, back to Apache. If Apache is running, you should see a new icon in your toolbar. It should either have a red dot or a green arrow in it. Now right click it and restart it. Wait until it changes into a green arrow in the middle, then right click on it and click on Open Apache Monitor. If everything is working fine, then at the bottom, it should have the line PHP 5.3.0 or something there.
If you had the red dot, then just click (not right click) on it and start apache services. Wait until it changes to a green arrow, then do the steps above.

Now you're done.

Your server's root directory should be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs

No it's not

"INSERT INTO tb_customers (			 `prod_id`,		`prod_serial`,		`brand_id` ,		`model_id`,			`capacity_id`,			`certificate_no`,			`description`,	`class`,			`accuracy`,			`added_date`,		`price`,				`maximum`,			`minimum`,		`bill_no`	)VALUES(SELECT	`prod_id`,		`prod_serial`,		`brand_id` ,		`model_id`,			`capacity_id`,		`certificate_no`,				`description`,	`class`,			`accuracy`,			`added_date`,		`price`,				`maximum`,				`minimum`FROM tb_productsWHERE `prod_id`='$serialid')";

You might want to use an iframe.
You can use javascript to refresh that iframe.

document.getElementById("iframeid").src=document.getElementById("iframeid").src;

The only true way to get php to understand javascript is with ajax.You make javascript send an ajax request to your php script.Your problem is because php is a server-sided code. Javascript is client-sided.So php will act the same way on all computers. Javascript won't.

PHP isn't the only language you need to know.You also need to know a big chunk of javascript so you can execute Ajax scripts.

The problem is that you're sending headers after they've already been sent. :PThe headers are sent at the end of the <head> tag. get the pattern?You need to put your php code before or in the head tags.

You're all mistaken.Chrome OS is not a PC operating system.It's a netbook OS.

So...I've looked for a long time for a host other than Frihost, which apparently, has DNS problems right now.I hope this is a good host and I can settle with it.
