Math problem

[env3rt]

There is probably a realy simple solution to this but I can't find it

 

I need the $num1 to go up each time instead of switching to the number I put it to.

<? 
$num1 = 0;
$result = Rand (1,6); 

if ($result ==1) 
{ 
Echo "1";
$num1 += 1;
} 

if ($result ==2) 
{ 
Echo "2"; 
$num1 += 2;
} 

if ($result ==3) 
{ 
Echo "3"; 
$num1 += 3;
} 

if ($result ==4) 
{ 
Echo "4"; 
$num1 += 4;
} 

if ($result ==5) 
{ 
Echo "5"; 
$num1 += 5;
} 

if ($result ==6) 
{ 
Echo "6"; 
$num1 += 6;
}
}
echo "<br>".$num1;
?>

 

Post if you don't understand problem or you can help.

i don't get what your trying surely

$num1 = $result;

 

or to increase $num1 by 1 do

$num1++;

[env3rt]

Ok this is what I want: If the random number is five, I want it to add 5 to the total number, add 1 for 1, 2 for 2 etc..

[MadTechie]

so

$num1 = ($num1*2);

or

$num1 = ($num1+$num1);

 

i assum you know your always setting $num1 to 0 at the start!

Sounds like $num1 = $num1 + rand(1,6) would do nicely

[env3rt]

<?php
include ("num.php");
If ($question) 
{
$result = Rand (1,6);
$num1 = $num1 + $result;

if ($result ==1) 
{ 
Echo "1";
}

if ($result ==2) 
{ 
Echo "2"; 
} 

if ($result ==3) 
{ 
Echo "3"; 
} 

if ($result ==4) 
{ 
Echo "4"; 
} 

if ($result ==5) 
{ 
Echo "5"; 
} 

if ($result ==6) 
{ 
Echo "6"; 
}
}
echo "<br>".$num1;
?> 

 

Inside num.php is $num1 = 0; so it wont reset each time but it's still not working

[MadTechie]

why won't it reset ?

because its in another from.. but your including that file....

 

if your trying to keep the value and just increase it everytime its run.. then your need to store the number in a session, cookie, database or file.., then read it back in, if the session (whatever you used) doesn't exist then create it and the num will start at 0 or 1
