PHP - Getting Really Frustrated Making This Hangman-type Game
So I started learning PHP a few days ago and I sort of dived right in trying to make things, this was my first program (a simple BMI calculator)
http://pastebin.com/SHfA4pt5 Okay but now I wanted to make hangman, and I'm just...so lost, like, I don't even know how to go about it. Here is the code I have so far (some of it commented out because it was just "ideas" I had). Here is what I have so far: http://pastebin.com/FyQPmR8U So can somebody give me some direction? Is there anything I wrote that is REALLY dumb and unnecessary? Basically I'm trying to find a way to: - log the guesses (how can I do this if I don't have an array, or nothing to put the values in...do I need to duplicate anything?) - check to see if a guess has already been made - replace the underscores with the letter corresponding to that position. and hell I don't even know what else, just trying to get it to work Similar TutorialsHello Everyone, I am using some code for a hangman game. It is written in PHP. I am using code directly from this website http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet267046.html and am having issues with it. I have the php file on my web server, and I also have a words.txt file on the server as well. However, I am getting errors, and the game also automatically says "you win!" even when entering just one letter. I'm not sure what is going on, as I am using the exact code from the website. Here is where the file is located: http://www.littlehousegardening.com/hangman/hangmanfinal.php Errors I am encountering: Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3.

I have a few years experience with pretty basic (bordering on intermediate) PHP. I've done some very basic coding for the game with PHP forms and I've researched some OOP (classes, objects, methods, etc.) but I'm not finding the beginner tutorials that I need. Everything I find has terminology and code that is beyond me. Does anyone have any book or website suggestions for me? I've tried the PHP online manual, but even that throws in advanced stuff all over the place. My goal is to better learn how to use PHP (because I've already put time into it) to create browser based games. Many thanks, Andy Hello, I am building an online game(users make a character and move on a map and so on...)
All user data is stored in a mySQL database and I want the users to interact in real-time, but there can be a 1-3 second delay between the communication, but not exceed 3 seconds even if 500 players are playing at the same time.
But for the purpose of the question let's say the users can only chat between one another, if I'll have a solution for that then I can use the same method for more parts of the game.
I can't use websockets because my webhost doesn't support it( I don't want to use pusher.com).
I know I can make real-time apps with ajax long polling, but I think that with 500 players playing at the same time it's not the best solution.
So, finally:
How can I make user interaction as close as possible to a real-time game?
(Without too much load on the hosting server)
(I am sorry if some of my terms are not correct - I am just getting back to coding after a long time...)
Edited by Mythion, 17 August 2014 - 02:34 AM. What I want to do should be very simple, but I've stared at code all day and can't grasp it. I want to replace the "&" character, if it exists, with the "&" string. What I have is: Code: [Select] $name = $RESULT['ACCOUNT_NAME']; $cleaned = str_replace('&','& ', $name); echo $cleaned; It doesn't crash or anything, but it doesn't work. I have several ampersand (&) characters in my output that aren't getting replaced. Any help is appreciated. This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=334389.0 hi there, i am fairly new to OOPs in php, i get an error when i declare the argument type (as object) in a function and pass the same type (object). class eBlast { public static function getEmail(object $result) { return $result->email; } } $r = mysql_fetch_object($query); eBlast::getEmail($r); echo gettype($r); // outputs: object error is : Code: [Select] Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to eBlast::getEmail() must be an instance of object, instance of stdClass given, called in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\admin\send_emails.php on line 145 and defined in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\app\app.eBlast.php on line 8 if i remove the type declaration in the function it works, but just would like to know why it shows error when pass the same type, also isnt mysql_fetch_object is the instance of stdclass? thanks in advance! Probably a stupid question . . .
The MIME type in my php.ini file is set to text/html:
default_mimetype = "text/html"But, because I use XHTML 1.0 Strict, the MIME type of my web pages is set to text/xml: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/xml; charset=utf-8" />I should therefore change the php.ini MIME type to text/xml, right?

Can someone point me to a layman's tutorial for a simple hangman game? I downloaded one off the internet, but it doesn't do what I want. The one I use doesn't allow capitalized letters or spaces! I can live without the capitlization but MOST of the words will have spaces and therefore, this code will not work. I want to start a brand new code from scratch but I can't seem to figure it out. I am new to coding and have been coding my site using MySQL, and that's fine, but ALL of the coding for hangman is very confusing for me!

The connect to the database and rewarding the user when they guess all the letters work fine, but I need for my other details to be in there and I have NO clue how to do that. I've tried a lot of things but everything just screws up. Here's the code I have now that is from scratch, and it's very basic. I really have no freakin' clue where to go from there. Code: [Select] <?php $words = explode(";", file_get_contents('words.list.txt')); shuffle($words); $word = $words[0]; $upletters = array('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m', 'n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'); $lowletters = array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M', 'N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'); echo $word . "<br>"; $word1 = str_replace($upletters, ' _ ', $word); $word1 = str_replace($lowletters, ' _ ', $word1); echo $word1 . "<br><br>"; echo "<form action = '1.php' method = 'POST'>"; echo "<input type = 'text' name = 'guess' size = '10'>"; echo "<input type = 'hidden' name = 'word' value = '$word'>"; echo "<input type = 'hidden' name = 'word1' value = '$word1'>"; echo "<br><input type = 'submit' value = 'Guess!'></form>"; ?> Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction! Or give me all the functions I need to use to get through this! Thanks in advance. Hey First let me say I am not asking exactly how to do this. Just the best method of what I want to do. The idea is to have a database of every model of a dirt bike. A user who is logged in to the system can submit data for a dirt bike (I can create forms for this). On the main page of the database I need to be able to have the user select what model bike and year or years to find the information people submitted in a nice list. Do you think this is to big of a project? I'm doing this as a hobby type thing so there really is no time schedule. For making the database: Would an array be best? Are there any examples somewhat close to what I'm talking about? how would you code a map for a browser game like travian? i know how it works but i cant code that sort of stuff. ive got my database set up like this x y player 1 1 1 2 etc.... so i when you click an arrow it will got to the next square along. Hello everyone and thanks for reading my request for help
I am working on a basic game where 3 - 5 images will be displayed on each page for the user to see (there should be about 5 pages), each of these images will have a value e.g. -1, +1, 0, -10, +12. When the user clicks on an image his/her score will change and the next page with 3 - 5 new images will be shown. When all of the pages have been shown and the user has a score of lets just say 20 or more then more pages will be displayed, if not then a new page will display stating that the game is over.
My question is how do I give each image a value and how do I show a new set of images based on the overall "score" of the player after the first set of pages have been shown?
And is there a way to display the players score on the page?
Thanks and any answers will be appreciated.

Haven't done much in PHP for a while, and as a refresher and a bit of a challenge to myself I have decided to write up a simple game of sorts. Basically in the game I have townships, every play has their own town. And I want these towns to have events every 3-10 hours, and have these events have results such as births/deaths/fires/flooding/etc. At the moment I'm looking at this kind of setup: A database table with the city information.. city_id, city_owner_id, city_name, etc. I figure I can make another field such as city_nextevent and fill it with a timestamp plus a random number of seconds. then when the user views their city if city_nextevent is older than current time then run the event function and set the next event time. In my head this idea seems to work well, until I realised that if the user doesn't log on for 20+ hours the events will not stack, they will only get the one event when they next view their town when several events should have passed. I realise I could use a cronjob to check all events across all towns, but is there a better way of doing it. I had also though about adding several fields to the database containing say the next five event times, then updating each field after time had passed. Which gives more events if the user has been offline for 20+ hours. So if the play was offline for say a week, their town would pretty much dry up until they returned. Basically, I want their town to run while they're offline. But was trying to avoid using a cronjob. Anyone have any thoughts on how this could be done? so i have an idea for a system that basicly shows a swf, how to play, and description all managed by sql. the url would be like: "www.example.com/play.php?id=531" my sql table would be like this: ___________________ id name swfname description howto 1 example ex1.swf destroy your enemies with your gun mouse to aim, click to shoot 2 example2 ex2.swf race your friends with this new game! Arrow keys to move. Space to use powerup. ________________ I need help creating a system that looks at the id provided in the url, then grabs the information in the sql and broadcasts the swf, and posts the title up top and the description and howto below. anyone have any idea how to do this? Basically, I've created a game serverlist in php.
After some time, I've noticed in the console of two of my game servers I noticed it's spamming connections every time a user connects to the page(this happens a LOT, since people check the SLN often), it's been causing a bit of lag ingame when there is 10+ simultaneous connections from my webserver.
Is there a way I can have the php code only execute every X minutes, so even if a user is connecting to the page, it will show the outputted data from the last check in? I'm using the fsockopen function to check the server's status, and other methods to query the server for information.
This is the last thing I need to do for this project to be perfect, some help would be greatly appreciated ^^
I am supposed to create a guessing game in PHP that uses sessions to store a random number between 0 and 100, along with the number of guesses the user has attempted. Each time the user guesses wrong, display the number of times the user has guessed. And a give up link that displays the generated number for the current game. I have been working on this for a week and I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Here's my code thus far: game.php Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION["randNum"])) { $_SESSION["randNum"]=rand(1,100); } $randNum=intval($_SESSION["randNum"]); ?> <html> <body> <center><form action="game_check.php" method="POST"> Guess a number 1-100:<input type="text" name="userGuess"/> <input type="submit" value="Guess"/> </form></center> <center><form action="game.php"> <input type="submit" value="Restart"/> </form></center> </body> </html>game_check.php Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $_SESSION["randNum"] = $_POST["randNum"]; $userGuess=$_POST["userGuess"]; if (isset($randNum)) { if ($userGuess<$randNum) { echo "<center>You guessed too low!</center>"; } if ($userGuess>$randNum) { echo "<center>You guessed too high!</center>"; } if ($userGuess==$randNum) { echo "<center>Congratulations You're right!!!</center>"; unset($_SESSION["randNum"]); } } else { echo "Uh oh"; } ?> Hi!
I was assigned to create a simple php game as a part of my grade, but i got stuck. I'm not really a php expert and this isnt really working. I managed to get some of the code/game working, but it's pointless imo. I'm looking for someone who would take 3 mins and fix this code for me. The game is called "Random number guessing game." From the title you can see that the game is not really complicated.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Ugani Random!</h1>
<? php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
$x = $_POST['x'];
$num = $_POST['num'];
$x = rand(1, 10)
if($num<$x)
{
echo " Your number is higher! "<br />
}
if($num==$x)
{
echo " Correct! Press Reset to try again! "<br />
}
if($num>$x)
{
echo " Your number is lower! "<br />
}
?>
<p>
<form>
<input type="number" name="quantity"> <br />
<button type="submit" value="<? echo $x?>">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" value="<? echo $num?>">Reset</button>
</form>
</p>
</body>
</html>
