USING DINI
I'm creating a number plate system for my server so that when a player registers their vehicle in the DMV, they get a number plate. I know how to set the number plate but how do I generate the number-plate and add it to a text-document. Then the next person that registers their car it will cycle through the text document a generate a number that is not already taken. How would I do that?

Well, with dini, this is real hard, but you can easy use SQLite for this

Here an example:

PHP код:

//At top:
new DB:plate;
//OnGameModeInit
plate = db_open("Plates.db");
db_free_result(db_query(plate,"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `Plates` (`Name`,`Plate`)"));
//OnGameModeExit
db_close(plate);
//The function i made for u :*
stock InsertPlate(playerid,const doc[]) {
    new string[128],name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME],DBResult:result;
    GetPlayerName(playerid,name,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    format(string,128,"SELECT `Name` WHERE `Plate`='%s'",doc);
    result = db_query(plate,string);
    if(db_num_rows(result) != 0) return 0;
    format(string,128,"INSERT INTO `Plates` ('Name','Plate') VALUES ('%s','%s')",name,doc);
    db_query(plate,string);
    return SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,"Your plate was added.");
}
//How to use
InsertPlate(playerid,"XYZ");
//If this would exist, it would return 0, so you can do sth like this:
new doc[32] = "XYZ";
while(!InsertPlate(playerid,doc)) {
    strcat(doc,"c");
    //So it would add 'c' to the string, till nobody have this plate :)
}
//Or you just let the player type the plate :D 


I hope this helps you

Although it would be hard, I don't know how to use SQLite. If you could show me in DINI that would be great, but if you don't know how, thanks for the help anyways.

Dini is severely outdated and very slow. It should not under any circumstances be used for any new projects.
