PHP - Am I Just Bad At Math, Or Is My Calculator Wrong?
Website: http://novacms.vacau.com/index.php
I'm trying to make a calculator for this game I play, it's fully developed, but with one bug. It doesn't do the math right. $goal = The amount of EXP (Experience Points) someone wants to get $exp = The amount of EXP they currently have $npcs_exp["exp"] = The amount of EXP the monster has But, when they enter in the information, the calculation is all screwed up. When I do it, it seems to give me the same number EACH time. The part where the calculation "goes down". Remember, I'm trying to see how many times you need to kill a NPC to achieve your goal. //math $npc_exp_extract = mysql_query("SELECT exp FROM npcs WHERE name='$npc'"); $npcs_exp = mysql_fetch_assoc($npc_exp_extract); $amount = $goal / $npcs_exp["exp"]; Full code: <?php $exp = $_POST["exp"]; $npc = $_POST["npc"]; $goal = $_POST["goal"]; mysql_connect("removed", "removed", "removed"); mysql_select_db("a2248602_npcs"); if(!$goal || !$npc || !$exp) { echo "<center><form action='index.php' method='POST'>GOAL: <input type='text' name='goal'> Current XP: <input type='text' name='exp'>"; echo "NPC: <select name='npc'>"; $npc_extract = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM npcs"); while($npcs = mysql_fetch_assoc($npc_extract)) { echo "<option name='". $npcs['name'] ."'>". $npcs['name'] ."</option>"; } echo "</select> <input type='submit'></form></center>"; } else { //math $npc_exp_extract = mysql_query("SELECT exp FROM npcs WHERE name='$npc'"); $npcs_exp = mysql_fetch_assoc($npc_exp_extract); $amount = $goal / $npcs_exp["exp"]; if($amount=="1") { echo "You will need to kill a <b/>". $npc ."</b> <b>". $amount ."</b> more time. You earn ". $npcs_exp["exp"] ." XP for each kill from this NPC. | <a href='index.php'>Do another</a><br/><br/>"; } else { echo "You will need to kill a <b/>". $npc ."</b> <b>". $amount ."</b> more times. You earn ". $npcs_exp["exp"] ." XP for each kill from this NPC. | <a href='index.php'>Do another</a><br/><br/>"; } } echo "<center>Made by Zaros from <a href='creation-x.net'>Creation-X</a></center>"; ?> Mod edit: DB credentials removed.

Hi, I am TheMeq. I am currently developing a Text-Based MMORPG in PHP/MySQL. I have quite alot of the code laid down, its just this bit that is starting to throw me a bit. I've been working on it since 8am this morning.. it is now 4:30pm and i think it's nearly there. It's just not working the way I would like. So if I was to ask for help, should I just post what code I have? Hi guys. I'm using php to randomly generate a simple math verification question. But, I'm having a hard time validating the input.

The script works fine but I would like to add the 3 radio buttons computations enhancements Ergo, if a user chooses 'Matte Paper" a 10% would be added to the Price Quote result.

I can not seem to figure out how to do this..

I have a feeling its easy enough for someone to send my form by getting the two variables and evaluating them. But how would they do that? and how would they know the names of the variables to send...? Is there a way of doing a math captcha that cannot be hacked? This topic has been moved to PHP Math Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=310665.0 Hello all. Trying this again. I would like to implement a simple math formula based on a date, but not sure how to do that exactly. I run a sports league, and want to calculate fees based upon a fixed date. Prior to 'some date' use this calculation, but after this date, add late fees using 2nd calculation. In my code there are two fields: $earlyteam and $lateteam. I need $lateteam to kick in after 'some date'. Help? Code: [Select] //calculate Fees $size = $lSize['size']; switch($size) { case 2: $base = 150; $size = 3; break; case 4: $base = 330; $size = 6; break; case 6: $base = 550; $size = 10; break; default: die ("invalid league size"); }; $earlyTeam = $base; { $e_each = $earlyTeam / $pCount; $lateTeam = $earlyTeam * 1.10; $l_each = $lateTeam / $pCount; } Hey.
So imagine this example...
class FormulaEvaluator { ...... //Construct & variables here.. public function exec() { //Missing some lines here, but you get the idea $formula = $this->formula; $context = (array) $this; ob_start(); $res = eval('return ' . $formula . ';'); } } $formulaEvaluator = new FormulaEvaluator(); $formula = '10 * (($Test * 2) + ($Test2 / 3))'; $formulaEvaluator->formula = $formula; $formulaEvaluator->Test = 20000; $formulaEvaluator->Test2 = 300000; $res = $formulaEvaluator->exec(); echo $res; //1400000The code we have is working as intended, but we want to avoid using eval. I know it's a pretty common question, and the answer is usually the same, but is there any way to do something similar without using eval? |
