error

[R1der]

i get this error from this code. Can anyone help with this?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /****/******/*****/****.php on line 2

[code]while($youdata > 0 && $odata >)
{
$opponents_health -= random(5,10);
}[/code]

Thx

while($youdata > 0 && $odata >)

Your while statment is incompete. There is nothing for $odata to be greater than.

But i am sure even if it was that. it would'nt cause this error

You may be sure, but you are wrong. The error states "unexpected ')'" because when parsing the code it comes to the closing paren without finding a value to compare $odata to. Makes perfect sense.

[R1der]

No because i fixed that and still get the same error

Can you please show us the new code then?

[R1der]

[code]while( $youdata > 0 && $odata > 0)
{
$opponents_health -= random(5,10);
}
[/code]

Well that code should not produce the error you have given at the moment. Im assuming that you have cut something out of the while statement otherwise that will produce an error - as at the moment it will enter an infinite loop.

Are you sure you are still getting the exact same error?

shouldnt you also use [url=http://www.php.net/rand]rand[/url] rather than 'random' ? or have you got a custom function called 'random' ?

[R1der]

yes i am still getting the error and no i did'nt cut any of the code out.

Also that is a good point about random lol

So your code is just:
[code]
<?php
while( $youdata > 0 && $odata > 0)
{
$opponents_health -= rand(5,10);
}
[/code]
With nothing else before the start of this? If so i dont really understand. There is no syntax error there
