PHP - Php Random Problem - Pick Your Poison Game

Hi guys,

I need to pick the middle five numbers from a range of numbers

example

$lowest number = 0;  // this will allways be 0

$highest_number = 10; // this can very from 1 to 10000

$selected_number = 5; // this can also very but it will allways be between 0 and highest number

the middles numbers from the above 3 varuables should be
3 4 5 6 7 --- the $selected_number number allways needs to be the middle number


// some of the issue we need to watch out for is, if hughest number is 4 then it should just go
1 2 3 4




Thank you guys

Hey,

I have an array which stores a bunch of numbers lets say:
Code: [Select]
[0] = 1[1] = 6
Now a second array has:
Code: [Select]
[0] = 5 [1] = 6
What im trying to do - is find the first highest number from the second array that is not found in the first array.Both arrays are sorted already by the way using sort().

What is the best way to do this?

I am not getting any error messages as I just think the codes are wrong. I am trying to get the $sql(s) to choose and print out the the looking_for in the database. However it is not printing anything. Any ideas of where I am need to fix this. I have tried a few ways with no luck.


$sql = mysql_query("SELECT id,gender,looking_for FROM Members");
$nr = mysql_num_rows($sql);

$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Members WHERE id='".($_POST['$looking_for'])."' LIMIT $pn, $itemsPerPage"); 
$outputList = '';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)) { 

$id = $row["id"];

$username = $row["username"];

$firstname = $row["firstname"];

if (!$firstname) {

$firstname = $username;

}

$gender='';
$looking_for='';


 

I Have the following issue and I spend my whole day looking for it.

I have a database with a simple admin where I add/delete values.

The database structure is the following:

id, zip, email
The database is called zipdatabase

Here is the mailing part:

Code: [Select]
//headers
$headers = "From: <$Email>";
$headers .= "\r\nBcc: <$Bcc>\r\n\r\n";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $headers);The variable $Bcc must come from the database. I am really ignorant so I only got to a point on how to echo the results I need (and this works):
Code: [Select]
$query  = "SELECT email FROM zipdatabase WHERE zip = '$ZIP'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
   echo "{$r['email']}, ";
}
?>
For a zip I get more than one result so when I tried using this

Code: [Select]
$query  = "SELECT email FROM zipdatabase WHERE zip = '$ZIP'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
   $Bcc = "{$r['email']}, ";
}
echo "Bcc"
?>
It only gives me one result.

What I noticed is I have 2 issues:
- I can't extract the BCC from the database
- I don't know how to add more email addresses to the bcc field, I only managed to add more addresses to the $Emailto like:
Code: [Select]
$EmailTo = "address1@domain.com, address2@domain.com";
$Bcc = "address3@domain.com";
All these variables are defined by a webform and it works flawlessly except the database problem:

Code: [Select]
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone']));
$ZIP = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['ZIP']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contacterror.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "ZIP: ";
$Body .= $ZIP;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

Sorry for my ignorance and hope someone here can help.
The webform works perfectly except the bcc from the database part.

Code: [Select]
function choose_numbers($number,$max) {
global $ibforums,$std;
srand( (double)microtime() * 1000000 );
$array = array();
$i = 0;
while($i!=$number)
{
$array[] = mt_rand(1,$max);
$i++;
}
$c = count($array);
while($c != $number)
{
$array[] = mt_rand(1,$max);
$c = count($array);
if($c == $number)
{
$array = array_unique($array);
$c = count($array);
}
}
return $array;
}
$newnumbers = $this->choose_numbers(3,36);
echo "{$newnumbers['0']}|{$newnumbers['1']}|{$newnumbers['2']}";

This echo's out my lottery balls 0|32|22 or technically RANDNuMbER|RANDNUMBER|RANDNUMBER

up to 36 is the highest number.

Now my issue is, I don't want 2 numbers of the same Value, EVER. Sometimes it does 2|3|2 which is BAD (for my lottery system) is there anyway I can make it so it never will echo out 2 (OR 3) of the same number?

I am creating a program to simulate the Powerball Lottery game, I have everything working but i forgot to add the Quick Pick Option, having alittle bit of an issue with my "if" statement I believe. My confusion is whether it should be a nested "if", or should it be it's own entity?
Here's what i have so far:

Hi,

I need to write some code for this but unsure where to start.

Basically i have a database of say 10 rows. I need to be able to input a number and some sort of fair algorithm will choose one of the rows.

The number will be from 6 to 10 numbers long, and will need to pick the same result each time based on that number.

Its for a lotto game

i'm creating a ticketing system and i need some assistance. The code directly below displays the database records and the delete works fine. The edit however isn't picking the values in the various fields.

<?Php
        require "config.php";           

        $page_name="currentout.php";  
        $start=$_GET['start'];
        if(strlen($start) > 0 and !is_numeric($start)){
        echo "Data Error";
        exit;
        }


        $eu = ($start - 0); 
        $limit = 10;                                 
        $this1 = $eu + $limit; 
        $back = $eu - $limit; 
        $next = $eu + $limit; 

        $nume = $dbo->query("select count(id) from receipt")->fetchColumn();


        echo "<TABLE class='t1'>";
        echo  "<tr><th>ID</th><th>Name</th><th>Pass</th><th>Amount</th><th>Action</th></tr>";


        $query=" SELECT * FROM receipt  limit $eu, $limit ";

How to solve by using observer?

Edited August 12, 2019 by aveeva

As above,

I have a lottery style site that picks a random number between 1-8 but my users complain for some reason that this is not enough.

So i was told to look into using fopen and random.org to generate a random number.

Anyone have experience of this and perhaps a code snippet for me to look at and possibly use?

help will be appreciated.

I have a tic tac toe game that I've been working on for a school project. When I attempt to run it a parse error comes up saying "syntax error, unexpected $end" on line 311. If anyone wants to try and run it. go here http://itstudents.ccs.uconn.edu/~iskm218st38/newnewnewtictactoe.html I'm trying to make the computer randomly select a tile after the human player selects but the first issue I need help with is why i'm getting this syntax error on a line that doesnt have code on.

This is the html gameboard

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.

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?

hi iam finished from my online strategy game but iwant add map to it players can see cities and their troops on map
any 1 can give me code?
