Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 TRANSITIONAL//EN">

<html>

 

<head>

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

First name: <input type="text" name="first_name"><br>

Last name: <input type="text" name="last_name" style="position: relative; left: 1px;">

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

<?php

$first = @$_POST['first_name'];

$last = @$_POST['last_name'];

$charecter = array("is gay", "is cool", "is a funny", "is a wierdo", "is just dumb");

$doing =  array("farts alot", "runs in circles", "...", "and loves strawberry shortcake");

$number = range('0','9');

$test = ($number[rand(0,9)]) . ($number[rand(0,9)]);

 

if(!empty($first) && ($last))

echo $first . " " . $last . " " . $charecter[rand(0,4)] . " and " . $doing[rand(0,3)] . "<br /> Lucky Number: " . $test . ".";

 

if($test < 99 && $test > 50)

echo "That is a great number!";

 

?>

 

</body>

</html>

 

So my problem is that when i load the page a number is immediately generated before i press submit and the echo "that is a great number" may show up before i press submit because it is as if the random number was generated before i pressed submit. So what i am asking is can i make the script wait until i press submit before it decides whether or not it is a lucky number?

Put your random generator in to a function call it what ever you like and the you need to change your sumbit button to call that function

 

Soo

 

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

 

Turns into

 

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" onsubmit="return yourfunction();">

 

function yourfunction () {
    if(!empty($first) && ($last))
    {
        echo $first . " " . $last . " " . $charecter[rand(0,4)] . " and " . $doing[rand(0,3)] . "<br /> Lucky Number: " . $test . ".";
    }

    if($test < 99 && $test > 50)
    {
        echo "That is a great number!";    
    }
}

Still nothing it returns blank. I did exactly everything you said. I even copied exactly what you had into a new document and still nothing. ???

 

Question for you the other guy before me change your

 

$first = @$_POST['first_name'];
$last = @$_POST['last_name'];

 

to

 

$first = $_POST['first_name'];
$last = $_POST['last_name'];

 

did you keep that change and you might want to try a $_REQUEST instead of post

 

or and just saw this

 

function yourfunction () {
    if(!empty($first) && ($last))

 

Should be

 

function yourfunction () {
    if(empty($first) && ($last))

I almost got it and then my damn server failed but this will get you way start

 

Pretty much it only checks to see if the first name is filled in not first and last
