But..... I don't need to. Isn't that like saying "One day a banana may turn your car on, so you'd better always have a banana with you"?

The echo is being removed, it's simply there for visual confirmation on the html side for now. It doesn't actually pass any data for computer crunching. It would seem globalizing things worked on this praticular script, and it also seems like a very easy answer to me. Why mess around with returns/data dumps?

Will update others in 5-10mins) <?php // PHP FUNCTIONS // function RaceCheck($StarterPackGroup) { if ($StarterPackGroup=="AquaElves") { AquaElfStarterPack(); } } function AquaElfStarterPack() { $i=0; echo "<p><b>Commons:</b><br>"; while ($i < 9) { $i=$i + 1; if ($GLOBALS["CommonUnit"][$i] <= 20) { $OpenedCommon[$i] = "Trooper"; } else if ($GLOBALS["CommonUnit"][$i] <= 40) { $OpenedCommon[$i] = "Bowman"; } else if ($GLOBALS["CommonUnit"][$i] <= 65) { $OpenedCommon[$i] = "Sentinal"; } else if ($GLOBALS["CommonUnit"][$i] <= 80) { $OpenedCommon[$i] = "Horseman"; } else if ($GLOBALS["CommonUnit"][$i] <= 100) { $OpenedCommon[$i] = "Evoker"; } echo "" . $GLOBALS["CommonUnit"][$i] .

Do I need to be using 'return' here in some fashion? I don't know much about it.

Hey all, I've been programming with php for about 3 months now and am still out to lunch on a lot of it. I was hoping someone could help me clear up a problem I'm having with my script. It's a simple script that takes a user selection from the previous page ($StarterPackGroup) and executes a list of randomized functions based on the users selection. (There are 4 races to choose from, here's the url to the page that provides the info for $StarterPackGroup for my script. http://www.eardrumvalley.com/backdoor/MINI_TACTICS/Starter_Pack.php Once the user has selected one of 4 races, it takes them to this php script and rolls for their first "pack". I currently only have the "aqua elves" responding, so click on them. Now, I have the page setup so it generates random numbers, and I know the numbers ARE generating, because I see them with an echo command (you will too, they are at the top of the page). However, the problem I'm having, is trying to utilize these random generated numbers in my other functions. ie: I create $UncommonUnit[$i], $CommonUnit[$i], $RareUnit[$i] and $MonsterUnit in the NewStarterPackRoll function.... however, i can't seem to utilize them in my other functions. How do I pass this info to another function? The echo returns the random numbers from $CommonUnit, $UncommonUnit, $RareUnit and $MonsterUnit just fine WITHIN the StarterPackRoll function, but not later on in the AquaElfStarterPack function. Anytime I try to echo the return value of these holders, I get a blank value... I also know the value isn't being passed between functions because none of my if statements are working either. All the units receive a default allocation (Trooper, Hero, Champion, Skel Sprite), if the randomized numbers were passing, these would be giving me other values as well. Please help, I'm convinced there's a simple answer, and I'm just an idiot when it comes to PHP. Lend me a hand!

Update: Figured it out. Man, it's been a long day. It was in my last "if"/"while" statement: I accidentally had the do/while statement restriping FifthNetworkNum with data instead of SixthNetworkNum when SixthNetworkNum was == to the other "$NetworkNums". So yea, when the SixthNetworkNum would be equal to the others, it wasn't being rearranged. It would just throw the computer into an infinite loop. This is also why it was only occuring occasionally. Here's the faulty code I'm talking about: " if ($TotalNetworkNums > 5) { $SixthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); do { // 'Here was the problem, from here.' $FifthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); // 'To here.' } while (($FirstNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($SecondNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($ThirdNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($FourthNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($FifthNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum)); } echo "" . $FirstNetworkNum . " " . $SecondNetworkNum . " " . $ThirdNetworkNum . " " . $FourthNetworkNum . " " . $FifthNetworkNum . " " . $SixthNetworkNum . " "; fclose($fh);

Thanks for the reply, but I already considered that. It doesn't appear to be the problem though. I removed all the other while statements from the code, but left that one in and tested it. It comes up fine every time, with no infinite loop problems. Also, if that was the problem, wouldn't it create an infinite loop EVERY time? I believe it's in the || (or) statements, which is why it's only occurring from time to time. Does this not seem like a logical train of that? That and the code works with the ZeroHolder while statement. heh (Using an undefined variable always results in the result of an absolute zero. This is handy when trimming for string comparisons). Again, thanks for the reply. But keep 'em coming, this one still ain't solved.

I need a bit of help. I'm at the end of my rope for the night. I'm a total noob when it comes to programming, and i'm trying to make a bit of a complex randomizer generate 6 unique numbers for me. For some reason, this simple randomize code throws my html browser into an infinite loop every now and then. It's weird, because most of the time it works, but every now and then the while statements are causing it to hit an infinite loop, (which is obviously no code). Can someone help me find where the problem is stemming from? Code: <?php function NetworkInfo ($textfieldUsername) { $myFile = "../../USER_INFO/" . $textfieldUsername . "-Network.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r'); $Gate = "__"; while (strcmp(trim($Gate),trim($ZeroHolder)) <> 0) { $counter = $counter + 1; $Gate = fgets($fh); } $TotalNetworkNums = $counter - 1; if ($TotalNetworkNums > 0) { $FirstNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); } if ($TotalNetworkNums > 1) { $SecondNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); do { $SecondNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); } while ($SecondNetworkNum==$FirstNetworkNum); } if ($TotalNetworkNums > 2) { $ThirdNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); do { $ThirdNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); } while (($FirstNetworkNum==$ThirdNetworkNum) || ($SecondNetworkNum==$ThirdNetworkNum)); } if ($TotalNetworkNums > 3) { $FourthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); do { $FourthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); } while (($FirstNetworkNum==$FourthNetworkNum) || ($SecondNetworkNum==$FourthNetworkNum) || ($ThirdNetworkNum==$FourthNetworkNum)); } if ($TotalNetworkNums > 4) { $FifthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); do { $FifthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); } while (($FirstNetworkNum==$FifthNetworkNum) || ($SecondNetworkNum==$FifthNetworkNum) || ($ThirdNetworkNum==$FifthNetworkNum) || ($FourthNetworkNum==$FifthNetworkNum)); } if ($TotalNetworkNums > 5) { $SixthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); do { $FifthNetworkNum = rand (1, $TotalNetworkNums); } while (($FirstNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($SecondNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($ThirdNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($FourthNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum) || ($FifthNetworkNum==$SixthNetworkNum)); } echo "" . $FirstNetworkNum . " " . $SecondNetworkNum . " " . $ThirdNetworkNum . " " . $FourthNetworkNum . " " . $FifthNetworkNum . " " . $SixthNetworkNum . " "; fclose($fh); } NetworkInfo ($_REQUEST['textfieldUsername']);

Can no one answer this? Is my programming far to stupid? heh

Sorry, I'm not an experienced programmer at all and am having some troubles with a simple piece of code. For some reason the echo never fires off. I know the $'s are correct, because when I test them with an echo outside of the if statement, they both return the correct value. How come I can't get them to compare eachother using an if statement? Could anyone tell me why this piece of code isn't working: " <?php function NameChecker ($textfieldUserNameSignUp) { $theData = "Initialize"; $myFile = "../../USER_INFO/USERNAMES.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r'); while ($theData <> "") { $theData = fgets($fh); if ($theData==$textfieldUserNameSignUp) { echo "Match!";} } fclose($fh);} NameChecker ($_REQUEST['textfieldUserNameSignUp']); ?> " Thanks for helping a noob.

Is it possible to change the value of a csaction using javascript? I'm trying to change the link value of a new window when the csaction opens the new window. My csaction looks like this: <csactions> <csaction name="186f68c67" class="Open Window" type="onevent" val0="../../USER_DOWNLOADS/Recording%20Artists%20Manual%20E.mpg" val1="_blank" val2="800" val3="600" val4="true" val5="true" val6="true" val7="true" val8="true" val9="true" val10="true" urlparams="1"></csaction> </csactions> <csscriptdict import="import"> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../css/CSScriptLib.js"></script> </csscriptdict> <csactiondict> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- CSAct[/*CMP*/ '186f68c67'] = new Array(CSOpenWindow,/*URL*/ '../../USER_DOWNLOADS/Recording%20Artists%20Manual%20E.mpg','_blank',800,600,true,true,true,true,true,true,true); So anyways, I was wondering, is it possible to change the link location using a javascript function I could call when the user mouses over the button depending on the value of "infoReady"? I know this is completely wrong, but is ANYTHING at all like the following possible?: Or does anyone have another idea? Here's the example i had in mind, (the incorrect one, but the one I'm using as an example of what I'm trying to accomplish). function MovieChooser() { var Navigator=document.formRegister.infoReady.value if (Navigator=="RAYes") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_A.mpg";} if (Navigator=="RANo1") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_B.mpg";} if (Navigator=="RANo2") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_C.mpg";} if (Navigator=="RANo3") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_D.mpg";} if (Navigator=="RANo4") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_E.mpg";} if (Navigator=="RANo5") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_F.mpg";} if (Navigator=="RANo6") { document.csaction.186f68c67.val0 = "../../USER_DOWNLOADS/RecordingManual_G.mpg";} }

Can no one help with this problem?

The problem I am experiencing is a bit of an odd one. I have written a function using visibility settings to reveal hidden boxes on my page after a button is pushed. The boxes of content begin hidden with a "visibility:none" setting and the function reveals them through a "visibility:inline" statement. Now, the code works perfectly fine when I'm previewing it in golive, but won't actually work properly when I try to actually use the page in a browser (ie: firefox, or explorer). Is there a conformed code I should be using to make sure this works everywhere? Here is my code for the function: function GotTutorial() { document.formRegister.submitAnotherPosition.style="display:inline"; document.formSkip.style="display:inline"; } Here is the code for my clickable button <img id="movie_off" onclick="GotTutorial()" src="../../IMG/SIGNUPPAGE/movie_off.png" alt="" name="movie_off" height="83" width="66" border="0" /> and here is the code for the items that are hidden, and will be revealed: <p><input type="submit" style="display:none" class="formbutton" name="submitAnotherPosition" value="Register" tabindex="1" /></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <form id="formSkip" style="display:none" action="PhotoUpload.php" method="post" name="formSkip"> <table width="462" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" height="67"> <td width="242" height="67"> </td> <td colspan="2" height="67"> <div align="center"> <p><font size="2" color="#880000">or<br /> <br /> </font></p> <input type="submit" class="formbutton" name="submitButtonName" value="Skip more positions" tabindex="2" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </form>

Nice, I checked it out and my files are saving with timestamps server side now. Works wonderfully. I'll be sure to remember your name. Now, on to design! Peace for now

Nice Mikesta, you're a god send. I'd like to reitterate that I started off my post by saying I was pretty stupid when it comes to php . Heh, thanks for being patient with me. I'll mock it up and post a reply real soon with results. Thanks again Kaylub

Right on, Thanks Mikesta That's what I had in mind. However, is there any way to combine both the timestamp and the file name into one string? (I know this is incorrect, but something along the lines of) $uniquename = $timestamp+$file_name; then later on $add="upload/$uniquename"; Is that possible? What's the proper syntax/format? Thanks again

Thanks for the quick reply. I've got that much figured out ( $timestamp= time(); ) ...but I can't seem to apply the outputed timestamp to my file name/subsequent variable. Any Ideas?

Hello, I'm kind of stupid when it comes to php and I need a tiny bit of help. I've got a form/php setup that allows a user to upload an image to my server. The upload is working well, and the code is functioning as is, however, I would like to add a timestamp to the file name before it is saved to the server, as well as making sure the time stamped file name is turned into a variable I can recall on a later php page. This is all in an effort to create unique filenames for uploaded content. Here is my current form code: <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="uploadck.php" METHOD=POST> Upload this file: <INPUT NAME="file_up" TYPE="file"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File"></FORM> and here is the php for that form: <? $file_upload="true"; $file_up_size=$_FILES['file_up']; echo $_FILES[file_up][name]; if ($_FILES[file_up]>1000000){$msg=$msg."Your uploaded file size is more than 1MB so please reduce the file size and then upload. Visit the help page to know how to reduce the file size.<BR>"; $file_upload="false";} if (!($_FILES[file_up][type] =="image/jpeg" OR $_FILES[file_up][type] =="image/gif")){$msg=$msg."Your uploaded file must be of JPG or GIF. Other file types are not allowed<BR>"; $file_upload="false";} $file_name=$_FILES[file_up][name]; $add="upload/$file_name"; // the path with the file name where the file will be stored, upload is the directory name. if($file_upload=="true"){ if(move_uploaded_file ($_FILES[file_up][tmp_name], $add)){ echo "Congratulations, file succesfully uploaded"; }else{echo "Failed to upload file Contact Site admin to fix the problem";} }else{echo $msg;} ?>
