Thanks! I'll try that. Is it correct to assume that an "exit;" in the middle of the php code would roll-back the transaction? Or is there another better way to simulate a lost connection? (thus rolling back the transaction.)

Hi! Has anyone managed to use transactions with MySQL and Php? Since the x10 server Starka seems to be having massive problems with MySQL connections there's a high probability that connections are lost between queries that need to be executed together. (It has happened that new players have...

Hi! I don't want to be a pain in the butt or anything 'cause I think x10hosting is really great for being a free host, but I wonder why there's no updates on how the work on Starka is progressing. I've understood from threads here, and my own experience, that Starka is having some problems with...

I'm currently developing a free web-based game called Metropolis (www.metropolisonline.org) and I'm in need of an artist to do the graphics (since I suck at it). In has to do with presentational graphics and in-game icons such as houses, apartment buildings, hospitals etc. Is anyone interested...

Ok, thanks for the replies. Since cron jobs are back in business I close this thread.

It seems like my cron jobs started working too. Thanks (to whoever fixed it). I mean, there is no way to distinguish between an error in the entered cron command and if the cron deamon isn't running? So if I have a working cron job that suddenly stops working, the best thing is to post a thread...

Hi! I'm wondering if it's possible to see if the cron job deamon is working as it should? I suspect that cron jobs stopped working for me on Starka three days ago, but I haven't seen any one else with this problem. If I knew that the cron deamon was working I would surely put more effort into...

Thanks for the tip! I just prefer trying it out old school :) And I finally got it to work (after some intensive googling) by executing stream_socket_enable_crypto($server_handle, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT) after the "STARTTLS" call. That's probably why telnet didn't work - it didn't...

Hi! I've looked all over for an answer to this one but can't seem to find any: I'm trying to use gmails smtp server to send mails, but once I've sent "STARTTLS" it seems like the smtp.gmail.com disconnects. I'm trying to use port 587 with both telnet and fsockopen (php function). Does anyone...

Thanks for the input both of you! 1. I do understand that I need som graphics. I hope I'll find a designer who would like to do some artwork since I suck at it. I actually thought the image I have now was a good alternative (many online browser games have a rather cartoonish design) but...

So, finally, the game is ready for some testers! Sign up and create your own city if you want to, or just stroll around the pages and see if you like the design (and especially if it looks quirky in some browser - yes, I've even tried to make it work decently in IE6). www.metropolisonline.org

Ok that's plausible. If you have the time, you could always consider if you want to change it or not. It's kind of strange when you're working with it. Anyway, I'm satisfied with the answer.

I've read about this issue in old threads but didn't find any answers. I also found a new twist to it: the "time()" functions only gives you one hour ahead if in the public_html folder! I used the command "date("Y-m-d H:i:s O I T Z", time())" where I = Daylight savingstime or not T = Timezone Z...

It's working now again. Thank you!

Hi! I read a few days ago that people had problems with cron jobs on starka. But after that I havn't heard anything and I don't find any announcement about it. Is it still an issue, or is it just me that seems to be having problems?

Ok, after some troubleshooting it seems like I now only have problems with sending mails to hotmail. Since there are other threads on the subject I close this one.

Hi! I'm trying to send e-mails through SMTP authentication using fsockopen and fwrite. The server seems to respond all right all the way down to the last 221 starka.x10hosting closing connection, but no e-mail is sent!? Is there some known limitation that I haven't found information about, or...

Hi again, doesn't seem like it did the trick. I'm still suspended for some reason.

Hi! My account is suspended due to a server transfer, and I was told that a support thread was the only possibility to have it un-suspended. Can you do that, please? :)

Hi! I have a form where a number of options with checkboxes are grouped (group 1, group 2, group 3 etc.) You can select items in each group individually. But then I also have a "grouping" checkbox for each group. If you select the checkbox for "Group 1" the whole group will be selected and vice...
