Cant figure out how to get the random choices when fallen on money to update the database. I have tried MANY different options but still cant get it! Can someone fill in the blanks please. ???

<?php

function search() {

global $userrow, $numqueries;

if (isset($_POST['explor'])) {

$title = "Search";

$my_array = array("$page Burnt buildings and rubble everywhere. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"You come across a old man looking for food. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"The sound of bombs going off in the distance. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"You can smell a faint gas oder from a main line under the street. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"You feel eyes upon you. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"Your being followed. ",

"You found Money... ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"You have no idea where you are right now. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"What a long day. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"As you walk you see lifeless bodies you use to call friends. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

"There is a noise ... just a rat. ",

"You found Nothing... ",

" You Found a Stone ",

"You found Nothing... ");

for ($i=0; $i<=10; $i++)

{$random = array_rand($my_array);$parola .= $my_array[$random];}}

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$title = "Search";

}

else {

$title = "Search";

$page .= "<form action=index.php?do=search method=post>";

$page .= "<table align=center width=100%><tr><td align=center bgcolor=red valign=top>SEARCH</td></tr>";

$page .= "<tr><td align=left> $parola <center><input align=center name=explor type=submit value=SEARCH /></center> </td></tr></table>";

$page .= "<center><a href=index.php?do=towninf>GO BACK</a></center>";

$page .= " </form>";

}

display($page, $title);

}

?>

i take it display() is another function you have created?

I've changed array_rand to rand 0,$count to choose a number randomly between 0 and the maximum number the array value could be.

If you would rather use array_rand have a look at the manual below as it doesn't seem you thought it wokred in the same way..

Ok maybe i was unclear with what i wanted to do sorry about that... BUT you helped me figure another question i had thanks.. ok let me try to explain again.

Say the array ia 1-5....

$input = array("1","2","3","4","5",);

$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);

echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";

echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";

you have only a echo of two.

Say one of those two you win points

now how would you put in a update query on the random choice if it was say #3?

shocker-z · October 4, 2007

you nould just set a variable to hold the temp values and then update

$input = array("1","2","3","4","5",);
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 3);
$rand1 = $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
$rand2 = $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
$rand3 = $input[$rand_keys[2]] . "\n";

$updaterandoms=mysql_query("UPDATE tablename SET rand1 = '".$rand1."', SET rand2 = '".$rand2."', SET rand3 = '".$rand3."' WHERE ID = ".$id." ") or die('Update random numbers: '.mysql_error());

Do you mean like that?

I know alot of stuff about alot of things but feel dumb as a rock at times.

Say the array is 1-5....

$input = array("1","2","3","4","5",);

|_______________$updatequery = doquery("UPDATE {{table}} SET gold=gold+100 WHERE id='".$userrow["id"]."' LIMIT 1", "users");

$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);

echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";

echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";

you have only a echo of two.

Say one of those two you win points

now how would you put in a update query on the random choice if it was say #3? Isnt there a way to only update IF the echo is #3?

Sorry but stupid here.

shocker-z · October 4, 2007

$input = array("1","2","3","4","5",);
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 3);
$rand1 = $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
$rand2 = $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
$rand3 = $input[$rand_keys[2]] . "\n";
$winningnumber=3;

if (($winningnumber == $rand1) || ($winningnumber == $rand2) || ($winningnumber == $rand3)) {
  $updatequery = doquery("UPDATE {{table}} SET gold=gold+100 WHERE id='".$userrow["id"]."' LIMIT 1", "users");
}

Like that you mean?

hmmm let me try that it looks good.

ViciousC · October 4, 2007

That seems to work it updates the DB But only problem now is how to get it to show the random output list like:

"nothing"

"You win"

shocker-z · October 4, 2007

try this

<?php
$input = array("1","2","3","4","5",);
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 3);
$rand1 = $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
$rand2 = $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
$rand3 = $input[$rand_keys[2]] . "\n";
$winningnumber=3;

if ($winningnumber == $rand1) {
  $updatequery = doquery("UPDATE {{table}} SET gold=gold+100 WHERE id='".$userrow["id"]."' LIMIT 1", "users");
  echo 'You win';
} else {
  echo 'You didnt win';
}
if ($winningnumber == $rand2) {
  $updatequery = doquery("UPDATE {{table}} SET gold=gold+100 WHERE id='".$userrow["id"]."' LIMIT 1", "users");
  echo 'You win';
} else {
  echo 'You didnt win';
}
if ($winningnumber == $rand3) {
  $updatequery = doquery("UPDATE {{table}} SET gold=gold+100 WHERE id='".$userrow["id"]."' LIMIT 1", "users");
  echo 'You win';
} else {
  echo 'You didnt win';
}

?>

You could also shorten your code by using a function

<?php
function checkrand($rand) {
  $winningnumber=3;
  global $userrow;
  if ($winningnumber == $rand) {
    $updatequery = doquery("UPDATE {{table}} SET gold=gold+100 WHERE id='".$userrow["id"]."' LIMIT 1", "users");
    echo 'You win<Br>';
  } else {
    echo 'You didnt win<Br>';
  }
}
$input = array("1","2","3","4","5",);
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 3);
checkrand($input[$rand_keys[0]]);
checkrand($input[$rand_keys[1]]);
checkrand($input[$rand_keys[2]]);
?>

alot shorter and neater coding
