Hey all

i am in the beginning process of creating a game. Its going to be a php/mysql online rugby managment game. In this there will require lots of generating and i am only a beginner so i watn to learn.

What i will need to do is generate a players list when a user signs up, every week go through generated training then everyweek when live simulated matches are played, i would need to generate commentary lines from a table in a datbase, which contain certain values eg tackle or try. I need to generate them and then carry those results overt o scores and statistics. Along with taht many other things.

How does generating work and are there any people/websites which are of assistance?

You're asking about a black box of which the contents no one knows but you. But generally, the term "generate" as you're using it indicates a view of data that is selected from a database. There's no new data actually generated, really-- it's more like a portion of your data is pulled out for viewing purposes only.

The real work comes in designing the database-- the tables and columns, and how they are related. And if you know nothing about all of that, start with a good book on the subject and work up from there.
