PHP Script -- Reading Profile Blob from MySQL

[RazorJack]

For some reason, I could not login last night... only showed forever hacking listing. I loaded up my pico, and starting coding this:

<?php
$server = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "xxxxxxx";
$dbname = "eq";

$link = mysql_pconnect($server,$username,$password);
mysql_select_db($dbname, $link);

$sql = "SELECT zonename, profile FROM character_";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo "<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n";
echo "<th>Name</th>\n";
echo "<th>Zone Name</th>\n";
echo "<th>Gender</th>\n";
echo "<th>Race</th>\n";
echo "<th>Level</th>\n";
echo "<th>Bind</th>\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$zonename = $row["zonename"];
$profile = $row["profile"];
$alt_adv = $row["alt_adv"];
$profileinfo = unpack("Lchecksum/a64firstname/a32lastname/Lgender/Lrace/Lclass/Lunknown/Llevel/Lzoneid/fbindx/fbindy/fbindz", $profile);

$firstname = $profileinfo["firstname"];
$lastname = $profileinfo["lastname"];
$gender = $profileinfo["gender"];
$race = $profileinfo["race"];
$class = $profileinfo["class"];
$level = $profileinfo["level"];
$zoneid = $profileinfo["zoneid"];
$bindx = $profileinfo["bindx"];
$bindy = $profileinfo["bindy"];
$bindz = $profileinfo["bindz"];
$bind = "$bindx, $bindy, $bindz";
$id++;


if ($gender == 0) {
$gender = "male";
} elseif ($gender == 1) {
$gender = "female";
}

echo "<tr>\n";
echo " <td align=center>$firstname $lastname</td>\n";
echo " <td align=center>$zonename ($zoneid)</td>\n";
echo " <td align=center>$gender</td>\n";
echo " <td align=center>$race</td>\n";
echo " <td align=center>$level</td>\n";
echo " <td align=center>$bind</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
?>

Hope its useful to atleast someone.

It is. I'm a PHP neophyte and these kinds of examples are easy to follow and easy to enhance based on the concepts included in this example.

Thanks.

NP.

I'll really expand on it once 0.5.0 is final and the database structure wont be changing for a few months.
