i used the xampp as well but maybe ill just use the wamp thank u

can someone teach me how am i going to get record from the database and use it as a name of my character? i want to put it at the top of my player's head

Like that?

but my character has no id? its not actually a game that you have to sign up.

so what im going to use instead of id? i just use ent_create for the player and what i want is that when my admin updates the database the name at the top of the character should update too

@jooz
thanks to str_printf we can do

str_printf(query,"SELECT name FROM characters WHERE char_id = %d",(int)char_id);

instead of

str_for_num( strChar_id, char_id );
str_cpy( query, "SELECT name FROM characters WHERE char_id = " );
str_cat( query, strChar_id );

sorry for oftopic.

guys can someone give ma Valid Link? to it, i cant download.. its broken:S

The link on the first page still works for me:
download here, original version

dll also works great for me.

OH ok that on did... a6 dll works on a7 right? Thanks now i can test myself

Oh right, thanks Quadraxas . I'm too old fashioned.

@joh:
Not sure what you want, but you need to know what player you want to pull out of the database. if there is only one player, you can simply do "SELECT name FROM players" or something the like. If there are more players... I don't know how this DLL handles arrays, but you'd probably get the first result found returned.

@joozey i load a player using ent_create so definitely there's no record in the database to select player. i want to assign a name on my players above their head which is found in the database
