Could someone explain to me what the logic I need to use to make an MMO.
For example when a new player enters the server, load all the other players already online and be updating their positions.
And as a new player in, appear on the server.
I’m using AppWarp as a server.
I doubt anyone will answer this question with the information you seek. The topic is too big and the question is too general.
Also, in the strictest sense, there is no such thing as a real-time MMO. Low-latency MMO, or MMO with predictive movement to hide latency, yes, but not real-time.
You’ll only get (near) real-time anything if all inputs and responses to inputs are handled on the same device.
Lastly, if this was a serious question, and if you are new to game development, I’d strongly suggest you not start by trying to make an MMO. To make one requires significant experience, skill, and a team. Maybe start with a single-player RPG instead?
One last note, if you’re asking merely as an exercise or out of curiosity, then please ping me back and I’ll give you a brain dump of some of thing (many) things you’d have to do to make (any) multi-player game.
I get to do a single-player RPG, now I need to do it online using the AppWarp platform.
Do not know how to synchronize the players with the server, what information to send and how to receive and deal with them.
I need do something like in this video, when other players connect, he appears to everyone.

Well, You’ve pointed out a good resource. AppWarp is available and has demos: http://appwarp.shephertz.com/game-development-center/corona-game-developers-home/
I’m afraid I wouldn’t be much use to you. Its not that I can’t do it, but I can’t afford the time to help with a complex topic like this.
Sorry, but again the link above leads to demos so that is someplace to start.

Ed is right, this is a big topic. There is a second issue too, I’m not sure how many forum subscribers use this service and CoronaLabs can’t provide support for a 3rd party libraries. Their API is fairly well documented and they provide a Corona SDK kit to use.
Perhaps they have some forums that you can ask questions in.

And what about php + MySql? What options are there more?
