PHP not calculating properly?

[GateGuardian]

<?php
$userattack = $POST_['attack'];
$userstrength = $POST_['strength'];
$mobagility = $POST_['agility'];
$mobdefence = $POST_['defence'];

$userattacknum = Rand(1,1000);

$attackresult = ($userattacknum + $userattack) - ($mobagility * 3);
echo $attackresult;

if ($attackresult >= 950) {
    $attacktype = "crit";
} elseif ($attackresult <= 399 ) {
    $attacktype = "miss";
} elseif ($attackresult <= 949 || $attackresult >= 400) {
    $attacktype = "norm";
}
echo $attacktype;
$random1 = rand(1,50);
$random2 = rand(1,5);
$random3 = rand(1,5);

echo $random1;
echo $random2;
echo $random3;

switch ($attacktype){
case "miss":
	echo "You missed your target!";
	break;
case "norm":
        $attackdamage = (($random1 * $userstrength) - $mobdefence) * $random2;
        echo "You hit the target for: ".$attackdamage."!";
	break;
case "crit":
        $attackdamage = ((($random1 * $userstrength) - $mobdefence) * $random2) * $random3;
  		echo "You <b>CRITICALY</b> hit the target for: ".$attackdamage."!";
  		break;
}
echo $attackdamage;
?>

 

$attackdamage is always calculated to 0 and when the attacknumber is over 900 it don't regard it as a critical hit

 

help anyone?

It's "$_POST" not "$POST_".

<?php
$userattack = $_POST['attack'];
$userstrength = $_POST['strength'];
$mobagility = $_POST['agility'];
$mobdefence = $_POST['defence'];

$userattacknum = Rand(1,1000);

$attackresult = ($userattacknum + $userattack) - ($mobagility * 3);
echo $attackresult;

    $attacktype = "crit";

}
echo $attackdamage;
?>

php never calculates wrong it calculates what you give it to calculate so its your fault.

That is the most stupid mistake ive made haha

 

Need better developing suite then dreamweaver with syntax check

 

 

Thanks alot guys!

i would recomend Jedit or PHP Designer 2007

 

also your math is abit dodgy try:

 

<?php
$userattack = $_POST['attack'];
$userstrength = $_POST['strength'];
$mobagility = $_POST['agility'];
$mobdefence = $_POST['defence'];

$userattacknum = Rand(1,1000);

$attackresult = ($userattacknum + $userattack) - ($mobagility * 3);
echo $attackresult;

if ($attackresult >= 950) {
    $attacktype = "crit";
} elseif ($attackresult <= 399 ) {
    $attacktype = "miss";
} elseif ($attackresult <= 949 || $attackresult >= 400) {
    $attacktype = "norm";
}
echo $attacktype;
$random1 = rand(1,50);
$random2 = rand(1,5);
$random3 = rand(1,5);

echo $random1;
echo $random2;
echo $random3;

switch ($attacktype){
case "miss":
	echo "You missed your target!";
	break;
case "norm":
        $attackdamage = ($random1 * $userstrength - $mobdefence)* $random2;
        echo "You hit the target for: ".$attackdamage."!";
	break;
case "crit":
        $attackdamage =($random1 * $userstrength- $mobdefence) * ($random2 + $random3);
  		echo "You <b>CRITICALY</b> hit the target for: ".$attackdamage."!";
  		break;
}
echo $attackdamage;
?>

I'm into the zend development environment myself. Its the best of all the one's I've tried so far.

[awpti]

ZDE is a big, fat, bloated turd.

 

PHP Designer or even DevPHP would be good enough for general usage. I'm a huge fan of PHP Designer.

[haku]

I used phpdesigner - its good for the money, but I prefer zend. I like the autocompletion of php functions, and I like it that it logs variables and functions that you have written so that you can autocomplete with them as well.

 

I will have to check out DevPHP, I've never heard of or tried that one.
