Warn code?
Where do l put it?

I think it would be faster to contact an advanced coder like Skittles by mail to get an answer.

I promise you'll be disappointed.

This is going to be quick response. :U

Basically, in your database, you're going to need to have a field that identifies the type of chat post being made:


Field info:
name: post_type
fielset: varchar(10)
default: regular


When inserting the "/warn" post in the database, naturally set the field "post_type" to "warn".

Then, when outputting data from the database, you simply use PHP to check what type of post it is, and then use Regular Expressions (or in this case, just the "explode()" function) to do what Hull does in the chatrooms here:




switch($post_type){
//$chat_post is equal to "/warn [Username] [Message]"

case "warn":
$exp = (substr_count($chat_post, " ") == 2) ? explode(" ", $chat_post, 2) : explode(" ", $chat_post, 1);
$user = $exp[1];

if(substr_count($chat_post, " ") == 2){
$warn_msg = "- " . $exp[2];
}

//In the quotation marks above is a space character

echo <<<WARN
<div class="chat_post warn_post">!- WARNING $user $warn_msg -!</div>
WARN;
break;

}




Something like that should work, though I'm too busy to type a more concise example. :U

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

Well uh all you really gotta do is check if / is the first character then get rid of the /warn(space) and then use explode to separate the name and reason which is like that but explaining it more

Funny how jsa005 didnt post in this. XD
