Creating custom loading screen for my gmod server. Need help.

[trotski94]

Im creating a PHP page for my gmod server (This is as far as ive gotten lmao [url]http://supergeekservers.co.uk/testdirectory/loading.php[/url]) problem is... i know very little about PHP, and even less about java :/

<script type="text/javascript">

	<?php
	//Get the steamid (really the community id)
	$communityid = $_GET["steamid"];
	//Get the map name
	$mapname = $_GET["mapname"];
	//See if the second number in the steamid (the auth server) is 0 or 1. Odd is 1, even is 0
	$authserver = bcsub($communityid, '76561197960265728') & 1;
	//Get the third number of the steamid
	$authid = (bcsub($communityid, '76561197960265728')-$authserver)/2;
	//Concatenate the STEAM_ prefix and the first number, which is always 0, as well as colons with the other two numbers
	$steamid = "STEAM_0:$authserver:$authid";

	?>
	
	var steamid = "<?= $steamid ?>";

	function SetText( ) {
		document.getElementById("username").innerHTML = steamid;
	}
	
	SetText();
</script>

It works perfectly, outputting the Steamid to the TextBox labeled 'username', Problem is thats not what i want it to do, i want the players username to appear there, does anyone know how to change a community ID/Steam ID into the players username?

(Sorry if i posted in the wrong location)

You can fetch user information using Steam's Web API ([url]http://steamcommunity.com/dev[/url])

I prefer HTML and java but I think it is the javascript above it that is wrong, you first need to teel your browser that you use php.

<?php
$communityid = $_GET["steamid"];
$mapname = $_GET["mapname"];
$authserver = bcsub($communityid, '76561197960265728') & 1;
$authid = (bcsub($communityid, '76561197960265728')-$authserver)/2;
$steamid = "STEAM_0:$authserver:$authid";

echo "Welcome to my server!<br>";
echo "Your Community ID is $communityid<br>";
echo "Your SteamID is $steamid<br>";
echo "The current map is $mapname<br>";
echo "Enjoy your stay!";
?>

Try this one
