Not to necro my thread, but I think people may still find this handy... Anyways, a lot has happened since I wrote this. I recommend going to PDO if you plan to stick with PHP for a while, as it makes things much simpler. In regards to porting your code from traditional MySQL to mysqli, PDO, etc., if...

Hi! I am wondering if anyone has heard of or used Django. Is it a stable, usable way to make websites in Python? Most importantly: Is it worth my time? I already know PHP more than enough, and have a growing hatred for Node, but I love Python. Maybe this is the route I should take for future website...

Working on tutorials and documentation here and there:

At the time of this posting, the internals have been described in a high level, and I am working on a cool Hello World app tutorial using Mountain.

Enjoy!

And let the competition begin! :) Not really though, our sites are different enough that there won't be hardly any conflicts. As for tips, make sure that you don't make another site with a different layout on each page (*cough*facebook*cough*). Make it flow, but I am sure you already know that. Also...

The PDO wrapper is finished. You can now access it like you would in the MySQLi wrapper. it has been uploaded along with a test page showing usage.
Also, if a mod could move this to either the Resources section or the Tier 2 showoff that would be great!

You don't need a cron. You can easily get this to work when the page is accessed. I find cron useful for things like removing dead accounts and regular database maintenance and stuff like that. Anyways, here's a possible solution (possible because you may find a better way): Your first table is grea...

Released 2.0, and am working on a PDO wrapper module that is going to deprecate the old mysqli module. Here's a github repo: https://github.com/lukebullard/mountainphp This new version features: "Commons", which are application-specific modules. An example would be Header/Footer code for y...

Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a long time, but I figured that now is the time to do so being that this is the best place to show off and get reviews on my work. My website, TheGamerBoard, is going on it's third year. I have got a bigger marketing crew on board, and have some great improvemen...

Thank you for the help! The reason I ask is I am looking to continue development of my engine which I stopped after seeing this become a problem. Here's why: The engine is 3D, so other 3D-specific assets like models are needed. These can take ages to download. My initial solution came down to using ...

In the last era of MMO games, all the media and resources (ie. Models, Textures, etc.) were installed to the user's hard drive. What is a good technique for 3d, webgl-based MMOs, so that the models don't have to be transferred every game startup (possibly introducing load times beyond belief)? I kno...
