I need help with some php coding.

[salukigirl]

I need help making a shop page for my SIM game. I can give you a screenie of what's in the database, that's all set but I know how to fetch and display things, but what hard for me is subtracting the money, and updating the inventory when they buy something. Anyone have experience with this? I need it done quickly and correctly. I've even willing to throw some $USD iinto the mix but I'm not getting paid until friday.

Can you help? Please.

i know some php. if you give me some more information i might be able to help, but with what you've said so far, i don't know.

good luck with your site, by the way.

Ok what other info do you need?
I need a shop where users can purchase items and have the purchased item go into their inventory(also needed)

It is probably easier for you to use an already built system, and if you get a good one then there should be no security concerns (if you aren't an advanced programmer then you might accidentally leave your site open to hacking, which on a shopping site is not a good idea).

Maybe you should try to use one of the cart style shopping systems which can be found in fantasico. Or have a look at some of the sites which I found on google.

most of those are shopping carts. This is a game, and it needs a store where players can purchase items for their animal. kinda like neopets.

Ah okay, that makes some more sense now. But what is that currency going to be, is it still going to be an in-game one or real money? Because you could still use one of the cart systems, but try to change it a bit to suit your needs.

In fact if its going to be using real money then just use a cart system, and have it so that the shopping items are items for your game. Otherwise we would have to see your code to help properly.
