Hi, Im new to here.

I was searching for a title "How to make a web browser text-based game" and i landed here.
I really want to know what program I should use to make a game, (not computer langauge, i already know what the requirements are)

I would be happy if you can post a link to the program that are used to make text-based game (Multiplayer turn-based text game)

I would like to create my own game for learning experincing.

Thank you. Post me a message soon, Im looking forward. =)

In the case of an open source web language, you won't find any "program" to create a game such as that for you, that would be oddly specific. You'd best learn PHP and MySQL yourself (Or if you wish just using flat files), and a text turned based game should not be the most hard. Were you looking for a text based RPG already out there in PHP to learn from?

Welcome by the way!

Well, learning how to make text-based turned multiplayer game from a currently active game will help me understand alot. But Im really curious, what kind of program i should use to make that kind of game?

Im honsetly, i have absoultely no idea. I really want to learn how to make those game, it would be nifty though.

PHP is just a scripting language, there are no programs you're referring to, to output code. You will need to design the game from the start up as in any other language, such as writing classes (OOP programming) for the user and each monster/weapon, you will need to write the code (or use an API) to talk to a database of your choosing to store the information, such as the current level, the users that have saved data etc.

There are a few open source PHP RPGs out there, but they're written by only a few people, so the coding style may be incorrect or inefficient, or it could be great. It's just all there is out there:
SourceForge.net: phpRPG: SCM
ezrpg - Project Hosting on Google Code

Those are the ones I could find at first look.

You won't find much help from there, but learning object oriented programming, database relationships and all that ensues so you will be proficient enough to edit or generate your own game, is your only option if you wish to create something your own (such as other sites).
