Theres not a need for one, its going to use information from your conquer database. My guess is you will need to change the mysql statements to fit ur database though.

I changed some of it to fit it to the Hellmouth Database.Quote:

I'd say just make a variety of arrays containing the table names/etc of the different sources, and just have them change a single variable at the top to point to which source they're running. And, of course, their database information. But you get the point.
EDIT:
Something along those lines.
EDIT:
PHP Code:
$currentSource = 'someSource5095';
$sourceVars = array();
$sourceVars['someSource5095'] = array
(
'database_host' => 'localhost',
'database_name' => 'my5095server',
'database_user' => 'myUserName',
'database_pass' => 'myDbPassword',
'account_table' => array
(
'tableName' => 'accounts',
'account_field' => 'AccountID',
'password_field' => 'Password',
// ...etc
),
'character_table' => array
(
'tableName' => 'characters',
'name_field' => 'Name',
'level_field' => 'Level',
'class_field' => 'Class',
// ...etc
),
'friends_table' => array
(
'tableName' => 'friends',
// ...etc
),
'enemies_table' => array
(
'tableName' => 'enemies',
// ...etc
),
// ...etc
);
mysql_connect($sourceVars[$currentSource]['database_host'], $sourceVars[$currentSource]['database_user'], $sourceVars[$currentSource]['database_pass']);

this is a bit more where object oriented programming comes into play, it would look a bit cleaner and easier to understand when reading just the mysql_connect line..

Either way, it would help out the nooblets who don't even know what this does:
PHP Code:
echo("This is a test\n");

You can change a variable name or even the contents of a string to something more distinguishable, but that won't make it easier for them to understand. You still have to write some kind of small guide to tell them the meaning of the string, the value, and the variable itself. And the problem after that? You're betting on the fact that they might want to learn, which most of them do not. They take code, copy paste it, and wonder why it doesn't work. Not everything can be copy/pasted. Obtaining a source is just getting a source. Attaining a source, is getting something you truly worked for.Quote:

<?php
echo "Hello World";
