[HELP] Cards Higher or Lower

[Solar]

Hey! I am attempting to create a fun game by using some of the communities code!

 

The game is Higher, Lower, or the Same.

I have modified the code to use a "Same" option but I just realized that it is useless unless I fix the problem.

 

I want to be able to have 52 cards. These cards should not be doubles. For example; Your first card is a jack of clubs, I don't want that jack of clubs to show up again until after all 52 Cards are played. Then I want the deck to reshuffle so users can continue to play. Please tell me if I need to add more detail, I think this is understandable.

 

Here is the source -

<?php session_start(); ?>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php
function deal (&$pack, $numhands, $cards_per_hand) {
$hands = array();
if ($numhands*$cards_per_hand > 52) return $hands;
$temp = array_slice ($pack, 0, $numhands*$cards_per_hand);
$hands = array_chunk($temp, $cards_per_hand);
return $hands;
}

$vals = array('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','j','q','k');
$suits = array('c','d','h','s');

$pack = array();

foreach ($vals as $v) {
foreach ($suits as $s) {
$pack[] = "$s$v";
$value[] = "$v";
$suit[] = "$s";
}
}

$card_picked = array_rand($pack);
$card_number = $value[$card_picked];
echo "<img src=\"banner.png\">";

if (isset($_GET['sub']))
{
switch($_GET['sub'])
{
case 'Higher':
echo $card_picked > $_SESSION['card'] ? '<h1>Correct</h1>' : '<h1>Wrong</h1>';
break;
case 'Lower':
echo $card_picked < $_SESSION['card'] ? '<h1>Correct</h1>' : '<h1>Wrong</h1>';
break;
case 'Same':
echo $card_number == $_SESSION['number'] ? '<h1>Correct</h1>' : '<h1>Wrong</h1>';
break;

}
}
$show_card = $pack[$card_picked];
$card_number = $value[$card_picked];
$card_suits = $suit[$card_picked];
$_SESSION['card'] = $card_picked;
$_SESSION['number'] = $value[$card_picked];
?>
<form>
<?php echo "<img src=\"cards/".$show_card.".gif\">"?><br><input type="submit" class="button" name="sub" value="Higher"> <input type="submit" class="button" name="sub" value="Lower"> <input type="submit" class="button" name="sub" value="Same">
</form>
<?php 
//echo "$card_picked";
//echo "$card_number";
//echo "$card_suits";
?>

 

I was thinking would it be best to array the cards from a mysql table?

To repeat my main question: How can I make the cards not double until the deck (52 cards) have been played, then re-shuffled?

 

Thanks!

You need to remove a "dealt" card from the array of available cards. Look at unset.
