That's not theory or design. Moved to PHP Code.

You could write something like that yourself in under 30 minutes if you really wanted to. You could also check out hotscripts.com or try googling for another script that acheives the same effect.

no, i couldn't write something like that myself in less than 3 hours, but thats besides the point because if i could i wouldn't be asking here for a script
tried hotscripts to no avail
tried a moderate number of google hits to no avail

can you recomend any other script sites?

not really, if you're not willing to learn how to code it yourself and you can't find a free version then it looks like your only option is to hire a freelancer

Well do you want to use mysql, or flatfile text?

What is your current knowledge of PHP / mysql, what exactly do you need me to explain

my free hosting doesn't allow me any MySQL databases, so i guess i can't use one of those...
flatfile
where to start would be nice to know
i know not so much about php, i knwo the basic syntax and some functions
probably the most important thing i know about php is that you can look up functions and such by visiting php.net/function_name :D
yeah, i don't know where to start..

okay well since you know how to lookup functions, here's a few functions to lookup

fopen()
fread()
fwrite()
time()
unlink()
glob()
file()
explode()
implode()
array()
list()
each()
date()

You could use a combination of fopen and fwrite, to create a text file, and store data. You can use fread to read data back. Use time() to get timestamps (useful for tracking when a user logs in or out)

also in times like these google will come in very handy for looking up tutorials


I'm going to sleep now it's 4AM, but I'll check this thread tomorrow in case you are in need of any more help. (so don't bother staying up all night waiting for me to reply)
