Is the game malfunctioning again? I try to get the main page and it said "could not log in as stephenM... blah blah blah again... What is going on?

IMO, I think the SQL is playing up. It happens to most coded websites every 3-6 months.

Yep, my host says its my coding. :oops: And I think it happens when we get to the month change, in otherwords the databases are not able to cope with all the data calculations. One thing I will do that may help is update the value calculations as currently every time a page is loaded the value is calculated for ALL airlines.

Did it happen last month? Also, I noticed (to do with the topic) that the day change was slowing down, meaning that instead of changing day on the **:02 or **:03, it became **:28.

Yeah its back to the drawing board I think for parts of it. It shows that I wasn't exactly the best at PHP when I started PHP but somehow I got a game that works, but not working well.

Hey, At least it lasted 204 days. That shows you know your PHP reasonably well.

Also, just a quick query, will this mean a reset?

Nope, it means the game runs very inefficently and stays that way. Its better to get the game running well on the current host as it will benefit all.
