O hai,

I’m Abhishek Bhattacharya, and I’m new to the field of AI.

I’ve always been interested in this field, but made up my mind to do something towards it recently, when I noticed the “Chatterbox Challenge” just about 3 days ago of the bot submission deadline.

I used “PHP” as my chatbot’s programming language, and tried to create something, but, just 3 days couldn’t help me much, placing me 25th out of 34 contestants, and what was made is hosted here: http://amy.theveditor.com, and named “Amy”.

And, I’m keenly interested in the field of “Artificial Intelligence”, and support from the community here has to be the best luck!

Nice to meet you, i have experence with php and mysql database programming so if you would want to fill me in may be I could give you a hand any ways nice to meet ya.

Oh, so nice of you to provide help. I’d surely require you sometime!

What are you basically interested into?

I design websites for small business companys and also make some database programs in php using mysql for use in some games or what ever is needed, last project was makings tools for a game called spaceinvasion. How much expernce do you have in the php feild and how was your chatbots databse set up? Did you use mysql for the database or use something else?

Technically, Nothing!

My chatbot was created in less than 3 days, myself being completely new in the field of AI. So, I simply used the language PHP. I tried using database, but it yielded bad results, so removed it due to lack of time before the CBC.

But, I actually use MySQL for works of databases, and my experience in PHP is of less than even an year…

I would say you take a look at this source code form program O http://blog.program-o.com/ . It is written in PHP and uses mysql database, should give you some good ideas on how to get started, if you havent looked at it all ready.

Just downloaded it.

Seems cool, and definitely of interest, and useful…
Embarking on to gain knowledge of it…

Thanks.. Would report back here when read, and needing help!

Sounds good.

Hey, I became cognizant of another Framework: “Yii Framework”. You’d like to search for it?

Ya i will take a look at it, thanks.

Welcome to the forums, Abhishek! Don’t forget to upload a recognizable picture of yourself… many thanks!

look forward to hear more from India! If you read something in local (and English) online magazines which might be interesting, feel free to share it in the forums!

Thanks a ton, Erwin!

And, I think, AI being a less popular field among the common masses yet, and less discussed, I’d like to post some cutting-edge techno articles and discussions as well, if I find any so apt.

Would that be cool enough for Forums on Chatbots.org?

yep

Oh cool, I guess I’ll be able to help in tons, may be!

Abhishek,

Glad you took a look at Yii. It is a great framework with object oriented property methods. I have been playing around with it myself the last few weeks. It adds a whole new dimension to PHP.

What’ve you done with it so far? Any suggestions you could give me regarding that? I looked at the framework, but hardly got anything upright!
