Character Sheet in PHP?
- Thread starter digiscra
- Start date
It would be a good learning opportunity...How hard would this be? I know rudimentary PHP and I'm thinking it wouldn't be all that difficult but at the end of the day my knowledge doesn't go much far beyond "Hello world" 
It'd be freakin' cool to be able to use this on any site you wanted though... give the code away for free of course and anybody could use it. I'd love to have something like this for my PBP where, currently, I have to update all the players character sheets that are online. I was already planning something using forms and a few CGI tricks but a PHP package would be much better!
Maybe we could ask the people at PHPNuke to do something like this...

I had the same idea about three years ago...and acted on it. See the 3EProfiler link in my sig. It's free for anyone to use.
I still haven't gotten around to making it portable though. Mostly because it's about 100 pages of code that would take a long time to clean up to make it easily installable on any system.

Lots of txt files? Meh.
I'd suggest databases. MySQL for example.

That 3eProfiler page is terrific! Exactly what I was thinking of, only I was thinking it could be made more like eTools in that you pick a feat (for example) and it plugs in the modifiers from that feat for you. That kind of thing...
Also, I agree that MySQL would be the way to go... unfortunately I've just started to master PHP itself and haven't moved to that 'next level'
Anyways, it'd be a lot of work, but until I get some time to mess with it, I guess I'll start messing around with 3eProfiler!

I have wanted something like this as well. There is a Post Nuke module for EQ guild that I think could be modified to be used as a 3e Character Sheet.
I want to have something for my campaign so that players can update characters and grab them off the web when they for get their sheets or for use when they are absent from the game.
Email me and I can send you the info on the EQ mod....
BTW it uses PHP and a mySQL backend...

Databases are the way to go, for sure. The original 3EProfiler, and prior non-public versions were perl scripts which used flat text files for storage. Talk about unweildly.
I don't think php has much over perl, but the move to mysql made things *alot* better as far as admin goes.
