Hey all,
I'm taking this opportunity to introduce myself and a project I am working. I came to ProgrammingTalk.com looking for guidance on a project I am engaging in. I came trying to find a good language to work in to receive a text file then analyze it. PHPDoctor recommended PHP. Today I am beginning the work.
I've done a couple PHP tutorials before but never gone beyond the basic tutorial. Rather than doing yet a another tutorial I decided to dive on in and give it a shot. Armed with O'Rielly's Learning PHP 5 and intending to pick your brains I'm on the path.
Unless anyone objects, I'm going to use this thread to ask my questions and the think out loud a bit.
I've begun my
work file. I also have a demo
data file. I have left the
directory open so any who wants can look in, download any file and just have look around.
For people who are interested in the gory details:
I play an online game called Kingdom Of Loathing. Within that game we have clan, groups that work together and socialize in game. There is a program called Kol mafia which can be used to make your turns go more quickly when your in a part of the game that gets slow. This progam spits keep produces a file like my
test file. My clan would like to use those files to do some specific analysis of how adventures can go for us.
It's not earth shattering or even important, it's just for fun.
