i want to make virtual money (credits, tokens) whatever you want to call it but make no mistake this is not for profit at this point but i like the concept of visitors having something to do with other members of site for example to kill bordom and create a reason to play games, compete in competetions, it will have to conversion to real money at this point but i wish to do this script using php and mysql and have very basic coding skills in these areas anyone please help me make this script...

Well that's not really an FPI script you're asking for, and to be honest, this is really close to being a "team requesst" type of post. So I seriously doubt you're going to get much of a response here - certainly not someone jumping in and going "sure, I'll write that for free".

Having said that, this is probably the closest thing you'll get for free (click link).

It may be close to what you're looking for, it may not - I didn't really look at it very closely. That site may have others that come closer. But it should at least give you an idea of how to interact with mysql tables and set up your own little virtual marketplace.

Good luck with it.

It compiled! Ship it!

I wouldn't say it's close to a team request at all, but Anigma is right to a degree.

If you want something like this to happen you're gonna have to learn to code yourself! In PHP AND DBP to mod this to happen.

Quite achievable given the right amount of skill and hours put in!

I disagree lol Get a tool called Blue Voda for building a website. Next you likely want to go to flash game based sites and DL their games to get your self started. Aka so you have a selection of games allready on your site while you learn to make your own. Next oddly enough learn flash or find someone who knows action script and can draw fairly well. Thats pretty much it. Using flash you can eliminate the big hassel of learning php and all the stuff. True some basic html and ph p will be needed but nothing hard core in depth. Flash projects our generaly best completed by a Duo team aka two people. Flash is fairly simple but you need a good action script writter to make a game fun and successful. I hope that helps get you on the right track.

old_school I think you must've completely missed the boat on the OP's post... he was asking for this feature to collaborate with FPSC, in which case he IS going to need to modify the source in DBP and be able to communicate with SQL via php.

I've been looking at PHP a bit lately for a mySQL database that will be used for a FaceBook game.
It will be forever and a day before I get anything working right, but I think Sting is on the right track.
You will have to Mod the FPSC source code, so learn DBPro.
I am going to keep an eye on 'Project PHP' here in the forums, because that might be the easiest way to get going without knowing everything about everything.

Add in Instant Payment Notification (IPN) compatibility for PayPal payments, and the whole thing could be a fully automated money machine.

This is really dangerous as a hacker may be able to duplicate or otherwise make or steal these coins and cash them out. There may also be legal requirements you have to follow in order to do this sort of thing.

You're much better off using someone else's payment system like paypal, amazon payments, bitcoin (though bitcoin itself is unproven and offers no legal protection to you), etc...
