While Loop Question

[KillZoneZ]

So, today i decided i would start learning PHP, i just learned how to do while loops and i wanted to get a bit out of the comfort zone of what the tutorials i've seen gave me.

 

So i decided to create a quick "interaction" where the player receives a random amount of damage from a monster, in this case a zombie, and then displays the damage received and the current health after the damage has been taken.

 

This is what i have:
   

<?php
        $LostHealth = rand(1,10);
        $Health = 100;
        if ($Health == 0) {
            echo "You are dead.";
        }
        else {
            echo "You turn around and there is a zombie coming in your direction";
            while ($Health > 0) {
                $Health = $Health - $LostHealth;
                echo "<p>A Zombie just hit you doing <strong>$LostHealth</strong> damage!</p>";
                echo "<p>You now have $Health HP</p>";
            }
        }
    ?>

However, the $LostHealth is always a fixed number everytime it loops.

 

Thanks for the help and time

You need to set the random value inside the loop, not just once.

while ($Health > 0) {
                $LostHealth = rand(1,10);
                $Health = $Health - $LostHealth;
                echo "<p>A Zombie just hit you doing <strong>$LostHealth</strong> damage!</p>";
                echo "<p>You now have $Health HP</p>";
}
