Hi,
I hope that some one knows how to do this. I've been working really hard to try to figure out how to make a user dynamic tounament tree for about 32 people but im not quite certain on how to acheive it. I've looked at every tutorial I can to try to learn how to do this and I cant find anything that can help.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am sure I can't be the only person who has no idea what you mean by a "user dynamic tounament tree ", perhaps if you could expand a little?

Regards,

Dai

Well, heres what my client needs.

He has a gaming clan for Jedi Outcast and wants to have a tounament for both his and his ally clan which comes to about 32 people. He wants it possible for the players to declare which one of each duel was the winner in a double elimination type of deal and if possible for each person to register or something to be added to the tree. I am not quite sure how to do this but as far as I know PHP is the only thing that can work dynamically for all people involved. Perhaps if each name was a link or something, and when that person clicks the link to the winners name that name proceeds to the next round in that tree. I dunno. I hope that explains it.

Thnx,
Draganus

Any server side language should be able to do it, but this isn't a site to find free contract programming. A script like the one you are asking for would take a bit of work, and I doubt anyone here is going to just sit down and write you one from scratch. A quick search of the net gave me this: http://www.mygamingladder.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=10.

Well first I know that it is definately a large project and I wasnt asking for some one to write it for me. All I need is a link or something to a tutorial or reference guide or maybe even a hint that I could use to make it myself not a link to a service. I am a quick learner and I am dedicated to what I do and i wouldnt want or ask for hand outs. If I implied in any way that I was infact asking for a handout or something than I am sincerely sorry but I dont recall saying anything that made such a suggestion. I certainly wouldnt have the audacity to ask professionals to provide me with a free service.
If you do know of a tutorial or some kind of reference that I could use to make it myself, that much i would appreciate.



Thanx,
Draganus

I don't know of any tutorials that cover anything like that, but you may want to look around http://www.php.net An introductory tutorial to PHP can be found at http://us4.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php
