Hi.
I'm not going to rewrite ver 1.5, I was clear on that. It's a botch job.
The Version 2 is complete as the PHP is concerned, and it covers most of what you have stated below.
It can be used as a one game site or multi game site.
you can check it out at
http://pbw.ath.cx
All is done in PHP and no BATCH files or external exe's is used (so far, the autoturn.exe is still to be done).
What is left to do is the help files, that will be intead of most of the readme file.
And it is much easier to set up and aminister than ver 1, no text files, all is done in web pages and all configuration data is in PHP files.
As PBW ougth to be up soon I won't release ver 2 now as that would mean that all data in the text files would have to be entered into ver 2, instead I'll rout out bugs and finish the autoturn.exe app and have it ready for (may they never come) the next PBW down-time.
Setting up the site should take a minute, and then setting up games is how fast you can enter the player names and e-mails in the text boxes.
Yep, I do realize I can add linebreaks, and I sometime does, but mostly I add a new line to make it easier to read for myself, ver 1 isn't easy to read, that's why I abandonded it and started fresh, writing cleaner and better commented code, now that I know PHP.
When writing ver 1 I learned it along the way.
I won't use cookies, set your browser to auto complete and you'll just have to type the first letter and click the text that shows up.
Edit2:
Removed the index.php in the gamefile in the arrchive 15 complete.
Edit3:
The problem is that I constantly remimber new "features" to add, but it won't become bloatware, as the zip functions is included in the PHP script it ougth to have a lesser size footprint than ver 1.51.
