Pii 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 Yes, you can create a text based online game using just php. However, it is not recommended. If you need to save progress then you still need to utilize some database scheme, such as MySQL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HannahI 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2010 Pii is correct. I will now show you how to create one without mysql though. <html><head></head><body><form action="?" method="post">Command:<input type="text" name="command2"><?phpif(isset($_SESSION['command2']) {echo '<input type="hidden" name="command3" value=".$_SESSION['command2'].">';} else if(isset($_SESSION['command3']) {echo '<input type="hidden" name="command4" value=".$_SESSION['command3'].">';}?><input type="hidden" name="go" value="1"><input type="submit"><?phpif($_POST['go'] == 1) {// begin gameecho $_SESSION['command4'];echo $_SESSION['command3'];echo $_SESSION['command2'];//put game here$_SESSION['command3'] == $_SESSION['command2'];$_SESSION['command4'] == $_SESSION['command3']; }?></form></body></html>Hope that helped!

A lot of people recommend javascript as well but that's really only useful for additional aesthetics and not much else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
