Name Change Script

[lxchadxl]

Anybody has hands on a name-changer script for in-game characters name? That lets you log in, then select your character and new name, but leaving a record ANYWHERE of the character's previous username? :o

Code it yourslef or use the CP its release XD

[Linear88]

I'll give a brief description on what to do.

Do an mssql_connect and mssql_select_db with your website.
When a user fills in the form, antisql the $_POST values and verify it with mssql_query.
Use a drop down box to request all characters of the account using mssql_query.
Use a text box for new name, and antisql the $_POST value.
Create a new column in your DB called OldName.
Store the value of the old name to OldName using mssql_query.
Update the value of Name using mssql_query.

That's all.

You're done.

Hey, i understood everything your'e saying, but i'm not a PHP coder, which means to say I don't know how to put it into a code, if it's not too much trouble, do you mind helping me? If your'e busy then that;s okay!

[Phoenix]

Yeah I'd love to have it too.


700th Post :D

[pavan33]

lol @ phoenix.. btw congooo
@# topic: even i want that :|

[mikethemak]

It's pretty easy to make...you need to know little to know php at all. Even i could make this o.o. Just use cobraPanel as a template, and edit the scripts it uses.

[lxchadxl]

Even i could make this o.o.

So then I supposed you'd make one for us?

[alfredao]

I coded a simple page for you.

Nice script. It looks good in my opinion. I think there are a few other things you could add for your antisql thing, but who really cares. At least u made it :P. Btw quick question: Aren't we gonna be needing to translate the nnome and mudarnome into english, or is it supposed to be like that?

Thanks for your help, but it doesn't work :o

[ManyBlackPpl]

try changing

echo "<script> alert('A Character with this name already exists')</script>

to:

echo "A Character with this name already exists"

(don't forget the semicolon after the quotation mark).

[lxchadxl]

now this is all it shows on my page :
alert('Name changed succesfully')"; die(); } } ?>
Change: To:

theres a dropdown menu next to change but i can't select anything, and if i type something into "to" and press enter, i get this:

@alfredao: There are numerous amounts of bugs that you have in your script. Anyway, I won't fix them, since it is just a regular page.

Here's the fixed code, without the errors you mentioned earlier.

changecharname.php

<?php
// <!--  -->

// <!--  -->

function antisql2($sql)
{
    $sql = str_replace("'","''",$sql);
    $sql = strip_tags($sql);
    $sql = addslashes($sql);
    return $sql;
}

    $codigo = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM Login(nolock) WHERE AID = " . $_SESSION['AID'] . "");

    if( isset($_POST['changename']) )
    {    
        $cid = antisql2($_POST['cid']);
        $charname = antisql2($_POST['charname']);

        $query = mssql_query("SELECT Name FROM Character WHERE Name = '$charname'");
        if( mssql_num_rows($query) != 0 )
        {
            echo "<script>alert('A Character with this name already exists!');</script>";
        die();
        }
        else
        {
            mssql_query("UPDATE Character SET Name = '$charname' WHERE CID = '$cid'");
            echo "<script>alert('Name changed successfully!');</script>";
        die();
        }

    }

    while( $char = mssql_fetch_assoc($code1) )
    {

who does he look like? He's Linear88 O_o. Lol, I feel stupid for not being able to notice the bugs, even though i have little to no experience coding webs, since I said it looks good. Ah but w/e, I guess we learn by making mistakes first.

[lxchadxl]

Still just a blank page man :o, im on Wamp.

[ManyBlackPpl]

the script works fine. The only thing you need to include with that is a login script so that it can read the characters (unless I'm mistaken). Don't use wamp, it sucks, use appserv.

[gregon13]

I use Xampp and it is added to my site (final revolution by ~DN modified by me) and it works great

[lxchadxl]

I am already using AppServ but it stills show as a blank page :x

[razacore]

blank page, fix please? O_O
