Text feild variables!

[pyro.699]

ok, i made a text feild

<input tabindex="1" name="A" type="text" value="XXXX" size="7" maxlength="4" />

and what i want to do as add each character in the "text feild" to a variable,since default it XXXX i would like the out put to be something like this$first = X;$second = X;$third = X;$fourth = X;like each digit a separate variable.it goes from A - F so 48ish variables would be put out....(its not always going to be 4x X's)

From your example it looks like there are no delimiting characters to use with explode(). Instead try using the str_split() function.Details here: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.str-split.php

[pyro.699]

Thankyou, how might i apply this to mine? so that the variable are as i said?

[DooVoo]

Assuming you are sending your form data in POST your script might like something below:

$string_array = str_split($_POST['A']);

Then you can access each element of the array like so:

print($string_array[0]);

Hope that helps!

it did! thanks!since this is a validator, i need to find a fast was to add numbers up :)i need four numbers that equals, lets say, 50example: 23 + 2 + 12 + 13 = 50is there a quick code i could use to find EVERY posible equation, the highest posible number being 26...(dont worry, img going to have more securety than just this )

You could do something like:

if($var_array[0]+$var_array[1]+$var_array[2]+$var_array[3]==50){//Code for if the numbers equal 50.}

Or, if you don't know how many indices in the array there are,

$sum = 0;foreach($var_array as $key=>$value){$sum += $value;}if($sum == 50){//Code for if the numbers equal 50.}

I think that should work...

[pyro.699]

this isent going to be part of the code, i need something to spit out all the posibilities, lol.. cause i need to write / print them off... something simplelike this would be the page-------------------------------|5+3+1+7|2+4+6+2|...|..|.|||||listing every posibility

[DeathRay2K]

Oh, I see. That would be a little bit more complex. :)Well, I guess you could do this:

<?php	for($num1=1; $num1<=26; $num1++){  for($num2=1; $num2<=26; $num2++){ 	 for($num3=1; $num3<=26; $num3++){    for($num4=1; $num4<=26; $num4++){   	 if($num1+$num2+$num3+$num4 == 50){      echo $num1.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num4."<br />\n";   	 }    } 	 }  }	}?>

I have to warn you though, that it will output 456976 lines...It could actually be modified to remove any such as 18 + 22 + 4 + 6 where there's already 22 + 6 + 4 + 18 and so on.

oh, dont worry, ive... closed every program, (encluding windows stuff, i dont have music anymore just for this )to change the numebr that it equals to, just chanfe == 50?anyway to get rid of doubles?like 1+1+22+2626+22+1+1

[DeathRay2K]

Yep.

[pyro.699]

anyway to get rid of doubles?like 1+1+22+2626+22+1+1

Its possible, but its a bit too complicated for me... I'm pretty new to PHP.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

eh, do you know any1 i could ask, because, if the users found that out, thay can just scramble up their current one :S

[pyro.699]

umm, what parts do i need to change, if i wanted to make it, 4-6+6-16?or just to alter the signs

[DeathRay2K]

Then you change it to

<?php	for($num1=1; $num1<=26; $num1++){  for($num2=1; $num2<=26; $num2++){ 	 for($num3=1; $num3<=26; $num3++){    for($num4=1; $num4<=26; $num4++){   	 if($num1-$num2+$num3-$num4 == 50){      echo $num1.' - '.$num2.' + '.$num3.' - '.$num4."<br />\n";   	 }    } 	 }  }	}?>

Also, I've almost figured out how to do the repeat checking, it'll just take a couple minutes. :)Edit:Alright, this code will check to make sure there are no duplicates, in any order:

<?php	$i = 0;	$donearray = array();	for($num1=1; $num1<=26; $num1++){  for($num2=1; $num2<=26; $num2++){ 	 for($num3=1; $num3<=26; $num3++){    for($num4=1; $num4<=26; $num4++){   	 if($num1+$num2+$num3+$num4 == 50){      if( in_array($num1.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&      	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num1.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num1.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num1.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num1.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num1.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num2.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num4."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num1.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num2."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num3.' + '.$num4.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num1."<br>\n", $donearray) == false &&     	 in_array($num4.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num1.' + '.$num3."<br>\n", $donearray) == false){        $donearray[$i]=$num1.' + '.$num2.' + '.$num3.' + '.$num4."<br>\n";        echo $donearray[$i];        $i++;      }   	 }    } 	 }  }	}?>

See why it took me a while?There must be an easier way...

[pyro.699]

!yeah! nice! thanks!lol i got a new challange for ya, arnt i testing your skillz 2day :Di have 6 filesFile #1 has 1798 linesFile #2 has 1842 linesFile #3 has 1747 linesFile #4 has 2265 linesFile #5 has 2137 linesFile #6 has 2197 linesnow, i was wondering if you could make a script that would "explode" them all to a file, again, giving every posible combonation ( i used your script, and chopped it up a little(the replys))idk if it hepls but the file names arefirst.combosecond.combothird.combofourth.combofifth.combosixth.combo(i even made a special icon for all .combo files )(again, deleting all posible duplicates )(every line contains a code, again 4 chars, like AHFW would be line 435. )

[DeathRay2K]

For PHP 5 or earlier?I'm not really quite sure what you mean, do you want every possible combination of the files, or their contents?

[pyro.699]

earlyer

[pyro.699]

of their contents

[DeathRay2K]

I don't really think I can... :)My script gets exponentially larger with every possibility added, and I'd have to redo the whole duplicate-finding routine...If I find a better way I'll get back to you.

[pyro.699]

(you dont need to keep adding to that file ) Make a new one, im gona print this 1 after i get it ...Ok, ill me a bit more presiceFile #1 - ASDGFile #2 - WBNXFile #3 - FIFKFile #4 - GJHRFile #5 - EGSTFile #6 - SDHGthe script would combine those to makeASDG - WBNX - FIFK - GJHR - EGST - SDGH(there is more than one code in each file ) but it dose the same thing as it did with the numbers except its dealing with files, and not numbers letters, and 4 of them... and 6 files...

[DeathRay2K]

I know, and thats fine, the only problem is that checking 6 variables is exponentially longer than checking for variables (For duplicates) in server time and writing time.Right now, as you can see, it check four variables in groups of four. With six variables, it would have to check them in groups of six, and there would be more groups as well.So, this will combine the six variables, but it doesn't do any duplicate checking yet.Also, what do you want to happen when it runs ot of lines in one of the files?

<?php	$code1 = file('first.combo');	$code2 = file('second.combo');	$code3 = file('third.combo');	$code4 = file('fourth.combo');	$code5 = file('fifth.combo');	$code6 = file('sixth.combo');	$total = count($code1)+count($code2)+count($code3)+count($code4)+count($code5)+count($code6);	for($i=0; $i<=$total; $i++){  $output = $code1[$i].' - '.$code2[$i].' - '.$code3[$i].' - '.$code4[$i].' - '.$code5[$i].' - '.$code6[$i]."<br>\n";	}?>

[pyro.699]

umm, i was thinking that nothing really would happen... i dont really, know... i could make them all 1747, would that make things easyer for you?

[DeathRay2K]

As it is, when one ends I'm not really sure what will happen, but I think it will error.This script is slightly better:

  <?php 	 $code1 = file('first.combo'); 	 $code2 = file('second.combo'); 	 $code3 = file('third.combo'); 	 $code4 = file('fourth.combo'); 	 $code5 = file('fifth.combo'); 	 $code6 = file('sixth.combo'); 	 $total = count($code1)+count($code2)+count($code3)+count($code4)+count($code5)+count($code6); 	 $totaleach = array(count($code1),count($code2),count($code3),count($code4),count($code5),count($code6)); 	 sort($totaleach); 	 for($i=0; $i<=$totaleach[5]; $i++){    $output[] = $code1[$i].' - '.$code2[$i].' - '.$code3[$i].' - '.$code4[$i].' - '.$code5[$i].' - '.$code6[$i]."<br>\n"; 	 }  ?>

You should see what happens when you run it.
