I'm starting to moving into a more object oriented approach when creating my PHP scripts. However, there is a scenario that probably is quite common, but I don't know the best way to solve: Finding a specific element in an array. (Before OOP I didn't need to worry since I could find it with SQL...

Hi! It seems like session variables ($_SESSION['variable']) stopped working the other day. Even I've called session_start, the variables aren't populated. I don't believe that I changed anything that should affect this. Is there some problem or change of configuration that I've missed? Or...

Hi! Since 3 days back, my cron job can't connect to the database. Returns error Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' I've tried to recreate the user in CPanel with no luck. I saw someone else on Starka with this problem. I think it began after some...

I do have Firebug already, but I've never used, or hardly noticed, the Net tab. Very handy for this kind of stuff. Thanks for the tip! Reminds me of the old saying "Give a man a fire and keep him warm for the rest of the day - set a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life." Right...

Hi! I'm pretty new to the whole concept of preloading things with javascript, but it's really neat so I've started using it as much as I can. On the front page of my web strategy game I have thumbnails of game screenshots. To keep the user from waiting for the fullsize images when viewing the...

I got it! I had registered events on both mouse down and up: document.onmousedown = mouseDown; document.onmouseup = mouseUp; When the mouse fires, I checked if I was over an A link and didn't do anything if I was. But I forgot about the onmouseup, which loaded the new map parts with AJAX...

So there is a difference on how to register the onmousemove? What is the difference between the old MouseMove function and your MouseMoveIE? They look the same to me. If it wasn't clear: the problem isn't that the map doesn't move in IE7, the problem is that IE7 won't follow the A links once...

Hi! I'm having a kind of strange problem. It only shows up in old IE (<=7) so if you hate browser backward compatibility, stop reading here. :) In a game I'm working on, I've created a map that is draggable, very much like google maps. On this map there are cities in A tag links. All with...

Hi! Had some problems with cron jobs, but after a kick from Anna it started working again. I've noticed that Starka have had some problems the last couple of days - and my cron jobs doesn't seem to work. Could it it be that it needs another push? Thanks for the good service by the way!

Hi! I have a cron job that hasn't been running for two days. I thought it might have been something that I did, but now I saw another thread on the same topic. Any known problems? (I'm on starka if that matters) key=$RANDOM; echo $key > /home/username/public_html/.cron_key.txt; wget -O -...

Hi! I'm trying to create a img tag dynamically with javascript. So far I've used the createElement function. The problem is however that the created tag seems to be open: <img src="target"> Is there a way to create a self-closing img tag? <img src="target" /> I would prefer not to use...

Just a related question, if I use createElement('img') it seems like the img node is created as an open tag (inspected it with FireBug), i.e., <img src="target"> but of course I want a self-closing tag, i.e., <img src="target" /> Is there a way to create a self-closing tag with...

Hi! I guess there's an easy fix for this but I really can't find it. I'm not really into javascript so bear with me :) On the title page of my online game I use javascript to display screenshots. I use an invisible fixed ("absolute") positioned div (display: none) as a target for the...

contland: Thanks! That was a little bit what I was thinking too, Any good ideas on how to add teasers? Maybe a slideshow on the first page with description of the in-game pages? The game overview is probably not enough then? krunalp4199391: The cartoon idea seem to be on and off... some think I...

Since the error doesn't seem to be acknowledged as a general Starka error, I thought I might as well also post that I'm having problem with MySQL statements. All statements returns something similar to: Incorrect information in file: './[database]/[table].frm' Havn't changed anything in the...

I have actually been looking around a bit at game sites. The problem is that they are kind of different too. Some have a lot of fancy graphics and quirky looking pages (which I won't be able to do until I find a really good graphics designer) and some have a pretty straight forward approach. The...

Thanks guys, it worked! The randomized cron key was a smart move. I increased the security a bit by deleting the ".cron-key" file after the validation check. That way noone can read it and use the information to run the cron script. I also put the log file outside the public_html directory...

Unfortunately no luck, still complaining about the missing mysqli. The only difference I noticed was that the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable was populated with "/home/tarzan/etc" instead of being empty. (I noticed because I check that variable in the script.) Is there any other php executable to...

"Almost"? :) What is missing? Is there anything that could make it more interesting to you? Thanks again everyone for the feedback! I will continue to work on it.

I think that's the way I'll be going since I got that advice from a lot of people. Are fancy images better than actual screencaptures from the game? Or the other way around?
