How do I make a script that...

[Pi_Mastuh]

I need a script that tells it if the number is greater then 1 then to decrease by 1 every 24 hours. How would I code that? I'm guessing something like

<? if $hunger <1 then -1 ?>

but i have no idea if thats right. And it also doesn't tell it do it every 24 hours...

???

use
[code=php:0]if($hanger > 1)
{
    // decrease by 1
    $hanger--;
}[/code]

Now to run it every 24 hours you'll want to setup a cron tab (unix servers) or Schedule (Windows)

Ok. How do I set up a schedule?

There isn't just some script I can put in that tells it do it every 24 hours?

No. PHP runs on a per request basis. Meaning PHP will run when a request to a PHP file is made. A schedule is the only option to run a PHP script at a  specific time.

Also, how do I make a list box that drops down with all the items in a database row belonging to that user, and then it increases the number in a field for the item they selected. I know that to increase it would be $hunger++ but how do I do the list box thing?
