Newbie Alert!!! Sorry, but I'm really struggling with this project of mine. I'm not have any problem storing the arrays, but what problem I'm having is that I always come up with the same order of games. For example, from Game 1 to Game 10 all the teams play the same teams. Can anyone help me? $theTeams = Array(13,12,8,7,4,2); $theTeamPointer = 2; $homeAway = ""; $numGames = 10; $SEASON = Array(); for($game = 0; $game<$numGames ; $game++){//game loop, create 12 home and away games for each team echo "<hr>Setting up Game #".$game; for($team = 0; $team < count($theTeams); $team++){//setting up each team's home and away game //SET UP THE HOME GAME FIRST---------------------------------------------------------------- $homeAway = "home"; echo "<BR><B>Setting up ".$homeAway." game ".$game." for Team #".$theTeams[$team]."</B>"; //check to see if home game is set already if(is_int($SEASON[$game][$team][$homeAway])) { echo "<BR>->Game #".$game." for team ".$theTeams[$team]." is set against team #".$SEASON[$game][$team][$homeAway]; } else { echo "<BR>->Game #".$game." for team ".$theTeams[$team]." is empty."; //it's not set up yet, so find the first available team. //make sure that the teamPointer is not pointing to the team we're setting a game up with if($theTeams[$team] == $theTeams[$theTeamPointer]){ echo "<BR>->Oops, ".$theTeams[$team]." is the same as ".$theTeams[$theTeamPointer].".

I did a lookup on this in the forum, with no results. I have what looks like a perl bot trying to hack into my sites. I'm running a 1.? version of Apache on a Red Hat LAMP system. I've been told that all I have to do is change something called a "User-Agent" in my .htaccess file - I'm unable to locate that file on my box. Can anyone help me figure this out. I'm getting hit daily by this guy.
