Looking for a script

Post by Kortnee »

Hello!

I'm part of a fake online game where members have their own bank account with money. Each member starts off with $150,000 to spend as they please within the game. This is kept track of through a database, but it all has to be done manually and often the numbers are off because some people can't add/subtract simple amounts :roll:

I've seen online in two other games these "banks" that I'm almost positive are done through PHP. Basically, the member signs in with a log in and a password, and it directs them to their bank account. They can then send "checks" to other users using their user name and it adds/subtracts the money from their account after the other person approves the check.

I was wondering if any of you had ever seen this before or even knew what I was talking about? Does anyone know anything similar to this? Prefferably cheap, as in free?

Thank you SO much!

I'm curious... which game?

I've seen this done before and it's definitely capable through PHP. If it was a smaller job I'd consider doing it for you for free, but this is quite extensive and could take a long long time... long long.

My suggestion: if you don't know PHP you should learn it and do the script yourself :wink: It's quite the challenge and goal, but a self gratifying one at that.

My game is http://www.gfhs.net and I've seen it in http://www.hfshc.com and http://www.equine-world.net

If I knew what script it was or where I could find how to do it I'd definately do it, I'm just not sure exactly how it all works. I've worked with cgi and other things like that in the past, but I'm not exactly a wizz and could never make one myself. I know it's a pre-written script because the two games that have it have the EXACT same script.

Agree with Goowe on the last suggestion. As to scripts.. try either googling for them, or try at Hotscripts.com

Well, I'll search around for a while and see if I can find you anything.

Cool :D

I've tried both but I'm not sure where to look for, much less what programs cater toward my needs. All the ones that I seem to find are "credit card verification" or "currency changer"

Have you looked at http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_S ... d_Finance/?

It might have something that appeals you, but other than that I wish you best of luck on the search... if it was summer-time I might consider workin one for ya ;)

yes, I've been to that site and many others like that. I know basically where to go, but I don't know what I'm looking for, if that makes any sense. Like, I know it's got to do with finances and it requires PHP. I don't know what programs to use, what is reliable and what's not, what it's called, etc.[/i]

I know exactly what you mean. It's the same thing with manuals. You often know exactly what you want to do, but don't know how it would have been indexed to go look it up.

How about this: Figure out some text that a page like the one you're looking for would have in it. "Enter check amount" and stuff like that, then go searching in google for that text. When you find it, hopefully that site will be doing what you want and will be willing to share their code with you. A lot of "hopefully"'s, I admit, but it's worth a shot.

Oh yeah. I use to run a game that had hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people playing as the leader of an empire in a fantasy world. They had bank accounts, world markets, etc.

Though I know what you want, I have no idea where to find an open source script to suit your needs.

Maybe you could find someone to create it at Scriptlance? :)
