How to Integrate Live Multi Player Texas Holdem Poker

Ok where do I start?

Right then, I have done a basic integration of the PHP Poker Script from phppoker.net.

A step by step guide follows as to how I did it.

Step 1. First you need to get the Poker Script, You can request an Open Source copy at PHPpoker.net http://www.phppoker.net/support.php for a small fee. Thanks HoustonLively for finding this resource.

IMPORTANT: You will be breaking licensing laws if you don't purchase a license from: http://www.phppoker.net

And in any case phppoker.net will file DMCA notices against web hosts and ISP's that hosts sites with unlicensed scripts.

Obviously to avoid this hassle and to be sure of having clean code it's best to purchase a licensed copy it's only $25.

Backup your original D7 database first ( just in case ).

Step 2. Upload and install the script into a directory in your root called /poker/ use your dolphin database to install the tables and for the Admin username put the actual admin username that you use in your D7 installation. You might also need to set your php.ini to short_open_tag=1 as this script uses short tags.

Step 3. Hacking the code: Well the good news is that we don't need to do anything with the Dolphin7 code.

So just these files in your Poker installation.

3.1 index.php

Replace everything with:

<?php

//Check to see if Member Logged into Dolphin

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

header('Location: create.php');

die();

}else { ?>

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

3.2 create.php

Remove or comment this line

if($valid == true) header('Location: index.php'); ( line 3)

after

$time = time();

( around line4 )

insert

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

$memid=$_COOKIE["memberID"];

$result = mysql_query("select NickName from Profiles where ID = '".$memid."' ");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

$NickName=$row['NickName'];

}

$existmem = mysql_query("select username from ".DB_PLAYERS." where username = '".$NickName."' ");

if(mysql_num_rows($existmem) > 0) {

header('Location: lobby.php');

die();

}

and after

</html>

( at the last line)

insert

<?php

}

else {

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

around line 44

remove or comment this code:

}elseif((($pwd == '') || ($pwd2 == '') || ($usr=='') || (($email == '') && (EMAILMOD == 1))) && (MEMMOD != 1)){

$error = true;

$message = CREATE_MSG_MISSING_DATA;

around line 77

remove or comment this code:

if((eregi('[^a-zA-Z0-9_]', $pwd)) && (MEMMOD != 1)){

$error = true;

$pwd = '';

$pwd2 = '';

$message .= CREATE_MSG_PASSWORD_CHARS.'<BR>';

}

if(($pwd != $pwd2) && (MEMMOD != 1)){

$error = true;

$pwd = '';

$pwd2 = '';

$message .= CREATE_MSG_PASSWORD_CHECK.'<BR>';

}

if ((strlen($usr) < 2) || (strlen($usr) > 10)) {

$error = true;

$message .= CREATE_MSG_USERNAME_LENGTH.'<BR>';

}

if (((strlen($pwd) < 5) || (strlen($pwd) > 10)) && (MEMMOD != 1)){

$error .= true;

$pwd = '';

$pwd2 = '';

$message = CREATE_MSG_PASSWORD_LENGTH.'<BR>';

}

Then find this code

$result = mysql_query("insert into ".DB_PLAYERS." set banned = '0', username = '".$usr."', approve = '".$approve."', email = '".$email."', GUID = '".$GUID."', lastlogin = '".$time."' , datecreated = '".$time."' , password = '".$pwd."', sessname = '".$sessname."', avatar = '".$avatar."', ipaddress = '".$ip."' ");

Replace with

$result = mysql_query("insert into ".DB_PLAYERS." set ID = '".$memid."', banned = '0', username = '".$usr."', approve = '".$approve."', email = '".$email."', GUID = '".$GUID."', lastlogin = '".$time."' , datecreated = '".$time."' , sessname = '".$sessname."', avatar = '".$avatar."', ipaddress = '".$ip."' ");

find this code

<tr>

<? echo CREATE_PLAYER_NAME; ?>

</td>

<? echo CREATE_PLAYER_CHAR_LIMIT; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<? echo CREATE_PLAYER_PWD; ?>

</td>

<? echo CREATE_PLAYER_CHAR_LIMIT; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<? echo CREATE_PLAYER_CONFIRM; ?>

</td>

</td>

</tr>

and replace with

<tr>

<tr>

</td>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</td>

</td>

</tr>

3.3 lobby.php

after

require('includes/inc_lobby.php');

( around line4 )

insert

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

and after

</html>

( at the last line)

insert

<?php

}

else {

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

3.4 login.php

after

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

(around line 7)

insert

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

$memid=$_COOKIE["memberID"];

$result = mysql_query("select NickName from Profiles where ID = '".$memid."' ");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

$usr=$row['NickName'];

}

Remove or comment

if(($action == 'process') && ($usr != '') && ($pwd != '')){

( around line 15)

find

}elseif(validate_password($pwd,$orig) == true){

session_start();

$_SESSION['playername'] = $usr;

$_SESSION['SGUID'] = $GUID;

$result = mysql_query("update ".DB_PLAYERS." set ipaddress = '".$ip."', lastlogin = '".$time."' , GUID = '".$GUID."' where username = '".$usr."' ");

header('Location: lobby.php');

}else{

$msg = LOGIN_MSG_INVALID;

}

and replace with

}

else

{

session_start();

$_SESSION['playername'] = $usr;

$_SESSION['SGUID'] = $GUID;

$result = mysql_query("update ".DB_PLAYERS." set ipaddress = '".$ip."', lastlogin = '".$time."' , GUID = '".$GUID."' where username = '".$usr."' ");

header('Location: create.php');

}

then at the bottom after

</html>

insert

<?php

}

else {

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

3.5 myplayer.php

after

require('includes/inc_myplayer.php');

insert

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

and at bottom after

</html>

insert

<?php

}

else {

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

find and remove (near the bottom)

<? if(MEMMOD != 1){ ?>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<? echo STATS_PLAYER_OLD_PWD; ?>

</td>

</b></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<? echo STATS_PLAYER_NEW_PWD; ?>

</td>

</b></td>

<? echo STATS_PLAYER_PWD_CHAR_LIMIT; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<? echo STATS_PLAYER_CONFIRM_PWD; ?>

</td>

</b></td>

</td>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="<? echo BUTTON_SUBMIT; ?>" class="betbuttons">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

<? } ?>

3.6 poker.php

after

require('includes/inc_poker.php');

insert

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

and at bottom after

</html>

insert

<?php

}

else {

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

3.7 rankings.php

after

require('includes/inc_rankings.php');

insert

if (isset($_COOKIE["memberID"])) {

and at bottom after

</html>

insert

<?php

}

else {

<div style="width:100%;margin-top:80px;text-align:center"

</div>

<?php

}

Step 4. Removing unrequired navigation links

in files

create.php, faq.php, lobby.php, myplayer.php, poker.php, rankings.php and rules.php

Find

<td>

<? echo MENU_HOME; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? if (($valid == false) && (MEMMOD == 0)){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_LOGIN; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? } ?>

<? if ($valid == false){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_CREATE; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? } ?>

<? if ($valid == true){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_LOBBY; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<td>

<? echo MENU_RANKINGS; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<td>

<? echo MENU_MYPLAYER; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? } ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_RULES; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<td>

<? echo MENU_FAQ; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? if ($ADMIN == true){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_ADMIN; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? } ?>

<? if (($valid == true) && (MEMMOD != 1)){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_LOGOUT; ?>

</td>

<? } ?>

</table>

And replace with

<? if ($valid == true){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_LOBBY; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<td>

<? echo MENU_RANKINGS; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<td>

<? echo MENU_MYPLAYER; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? } ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_RULES; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<td>

<? echo MENU_FAQ; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? if ($ADMIN == true){ ?>

<td>

<? echo MENU_ADMIN; ?>

</td>

</tr>

<? } ?>

</table>

Step 5. Linking to Poker

This is example for button to open in sized popup window

</div>

and this is the image that displays if user not logged in

this image should be saved as LogIn.jpg and saved in the images folder of your poker installation.

Well that should just about do it so login to your Dolphin site then go to your poker installation at yoursite.com/poker setup your avatar and then click on the admin link on the left to add tables and alter other settings.

Note if you receive an error on leaving a table you will need to set sitout to zero from within poker admin.

If anyone can improve on this or integrate more features then please expand.

If for some reason this don't work for you, just tell me the problem and i'll see what I can do...

Dave.

I have amended since first post so for anyone who did this before the amendment you might need to do this.

3.2 create.php

Remove or comment this line
if($valid == true) header('Location: index.php');
( line 3)

I was bound to miss something.

Thanks for the tutorial post and contribution.

For certain sites, games can help to get people to stick around and have fun with other members. I think Dolphin would benefit from other integrations like this.

Good work.

Nice job at deleting your blog and reposting it to dump the negative points the fact that you first told people to break the law with this mod. Negative points still for you on this one.

That's grand. Would be even more useful to have the tutorial downloadable in a text file where code indentation hasn't been lost.

I've been looking at this poker script for a long time. It's been in beta until recently, and was apparently open source. I've been waiting for it to be released, but was not expecting it to be encoded. I'd sure like to use the most current version.,,, even though they are now selling the open source version for only $25.

Maybe the folks at phppoker can come up with a D7 integration for their script, and offer it in the market on this site. With 50,000 members on this site, I'd bet they would see more

Hi just to update,

Steven at PHPPoker.Net has already made a plugin for Joomla and will be making one for his latest version 2.5 for Dolphin7 so it will come eventually.
