Hey guys,
I have a question.
How do I create a loadingscreen that grabs information from a database?
Kind Regards,

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;52284164]Loading screens are a web page. So you can use any server sided web language to do that.
Easiest for beginners is probably PHP imo[/QUOTE]
I would argue nodejs is easier now. PHP has so many deprecated functions for accessing a database that there aren't any safe bets unless you are already in the know.

Literally replace mysql with mysqli and everything is fine, or do PDO. PHP is piss easy to setup and get started with.
[U]OP[/U]: You have to have a web server (I recommend Apache or Nginx. I've been told Nginx is better but I've never used it), a database (I recommend MySQL), and to do a bit of PHP to access that database.

We usually throw them onto the same webserver as the forum is hosted on
Like if your community has one at least
[URL]https://www.000webhost.com/[/URL] or any other "free website buy now!!!" is good enough if you want to do an easy setup of a loading screen.
You need to know PHP thought if you want to actually implement the part where you grab information from the database. There should be tutorials enough out there to get you started.
