Caitlin-havener Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Can anyone see why the value inside my session variables is changing before the session is up (I believe the session should last through the functions)??This is supposed to be a game where two numbers 1-14 are randomly chosen then you bet whether the third number drawn will be between the first two. I need to make the some of the numbers look like A,Q,K,J like a deck of cards while keeping their number value. The first two numbers are supposed to remain the same (stored in the session) when you push "bet." They should come up the same on the next screen but aren't. I've been looking at it so long my mind is boggled, any ideas? <?php session_start(); ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title></title></head><body><form method='post'><?php $nextaction=$_POST['dowhat']; $target1=rand(1,14); $target2=rand(1,14); //$wincard=rand(1,14); $maxcard=max($target1,$target2); $mincard=min($target1,$target2); $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=$maxcard; $_SESSION['mincardsess']=$mincard; function maxcard_displayfunc(){ $highcard=$_SESSION['maxcardsess']; switch ($highcard) { case 1: return $maxcard_display="A"; break; case 11: return $maxcard_display="J"; break; case 12: return $maxcard_display="Q"; break; case 13: return $maxcard_display="K"; break; default: return $maxcard_display=$highcard; } } function mincard_displayfunc(){ $lowcard=$_SESSION['mincardsess']; switch ($lowcard) { case 1: return $mincard_display="A"; break; case 11: return $mincard_display="J"; break; case 12: return $mincard_display="Q"; break; case 13: return $mincard_display="K"; break; default: return $mincard_display=$lowcard; } } function wincardfunc($wincard){ switch ($wincard) { case 1: return $wincard_display="A"; break; case 11: return $wincard_display="J"; break; case 12: return $wincard_display="Q"; break; case 13: return $wincard_display="K"; break; default: return $wincard_display=$wincard; } } ////////////////////////////////////// if (!$nextaction || ($nextaction=="PASS") || ($nextaction=="NEXT DRAW")) { ///////////// // SCREEN 1 ///////////// $maxcard_display=maxcard_displayfunc(); $mincard_display=mincard_displayfunc(); print "<p>high card=$maxcard_display. low card=$mincard_display.<br />"; print "<input type='submit' name='dowhat' value='BET'>"; print "<input type='submit' name='dowhat' value='PASS'>"; } else if ($nextaction=="BET") { #################### # SCREEN TWO #################### $wincard=rand(1,14); $wincard_display=wincardfunc($wincard); $maxcard_display=maxcard_displayfunc(); $mincard_display=mincard_displayfunc(); $maxvalue=$_SESSION['maxcardsess']; $maxvalue=$_SESSION['mincardsess']; print "highcard=$maxcard_display <br/>"; print "target=$wincard_display <br/>"; print "lowcard=$mincard_display <br/>"; if (($wincard<$maxvalue) && ($wincard>$minvalue)) { print "You win!"; } else { print "You lose!"; } print "<input type='submit' name='dowhat' value='NEXT DRAW'>"; } else print "Error 100: nextaction=$nextaction, but I don't know what to do.";?></form></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What makes you think the values are not stored correctly?Have you tried var_dump($_SESSION) at some point before trying to access a value? It's the best way to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 When I run your code, I get output like this:high card=3. low card=A.(some buttons)target=3lowcard=6You win!(button)and when I var_dump($_SESSION) like I suggested, the $_SESSION array is populated.So what's up?

jeffman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 For example: function maxcard_displayfunc(){var_dump($_SESSION); // HERE !!!111$highcard=$_SESSION['maxcardsess']; var_dump displays the contents and their data types of any variable you pass it. A basic debugging tool. Can't live without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It looks like you're always generating those values: $target1=rand(1,14); $target2=rand(1,14); //$wincard=rand(1,14); $maxcard=max($target1,$target2); $mincard=min($target1,$target2); $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=$maxcard; $_SESSION['mincardsess']=$mincard; You'll need to check if they're already set before setting them again, you're changing them every time the page loads. You can just wrap that in an if statement: if (isset($_SESSION['maxcardsess'])){ $maxcard = $_SESSION['maxcardsess']; $mincard = $_SESSION['mincardsess'];}else{ $target1=rand(1,14); $target2=rand(1,14); $maxcard=max($target1,$target2); $mincard=min($target1,$target2); $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=$maxcard; $_SESSION['mincardsess']=$mincard;} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caitlin-havener Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Having another issue with some code that I added to the prior program. When the maxcard or mincard are an ace, the value is already a 1 OR a 14. I want the value of ace to change to 1 or 14 depending on whichever one has a better chance of winning the bet (the difference between the cards are greater, thus a better chance of target card falling in between the two). I am having a problem with the session values again apparently as when dumping the values they are changing right before the nested 'if' statements as noted in the code. I can't find the issue, can you spot it? The problem is in between the comments "here is the issue." <?php session_start(); ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title></title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /></head><body><div class="roundedBox"> <div class="top"><div class="bottom"> <div class="left"><div class="right"> <div class="topLeft"><div class="topRight"> <div class="bottomLeft"><div class="bottomRight"><div class="boxContent"><div id="content"><form method='post'><?php $nextaction=$_POST['dowhat']; function maxcard_displayfunc(){//var_dump($_SESSION); $highcard=$_SESSION['maxcardsess']; switch ($highcard) { case 1 || 14: return $maxcard_display="A"; break; case 11: return $maxcard_display="J"; break; case 12: return $maxcard_display="Q"; break; case 13: return $maxcard_display="K"; break; default: return $maxcard_display=$highcard; } } function mincard_displayfunc(){ // var_dump($_SESSION); $lowcard=$_SESSION['mincardsess']; switch ($lowcard) { case 1 || 14: return $mincard_display="A"; break; case 11: return $mincard_display="J"; break; case 12: return $mincard_display="Q"; break; case 13: return $mincard_display="K"; break; default: return $mincard_display=$lowcard; } } function wincardfunc($wincard){ switch ($wincard) { case 1 || 14: return $wincard_display="A"; break; case 11: return $wincard_display="J"; break; case 12: return $wincard_display="Q"; break; case 13: return $wincard_display="K"; break; default: return $wincard_display=$wincard; } } ////////////////////////////////////// if (!$nextaction || ($nextaction=="PASS") || ($nextaction=="NEXT DRAW")) { ################# ## SCREEN 1 ################# $target1=rand(1,14); $target2=rand(1,14); //$wincard=rand(1,14); $maxcard=max($target1,$target2); $mincard=min($target1,$target2); $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=$maxcard; $_SESSION['mincardsess']=$mincard; $maxcard_display=maxcard_displayfunc(); $mincard_display=mincard_displayfunc(); //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // If card is an ace, change value of ace to 1 or 14, // whichever is more favorable to user. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// print "var dump before maxcard if statement:"; var_dump($_SESSION); ///////////something wrong with this (below)/// if($maxcard_display=="A"){ $othercard=$_SESSION['mincardsess']; print "var dump before nested maxcard if statements:"; var_dump($_SESSION); if($othercard-1 > 14-$othercard){ $acecard=1; $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=max($othercard,$acecard); $_SESSION['mincardsess']=min($othercard,$acecard); print "</br>Ace will have a value of $acecard, because it favors your bet.";} else{ $acecard=14; $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=max($othercard,$acecard); $_SESSION['mincardsess']=min($othercard,$acecard); print "</br>Ace will have a value of $acecard, because it favors your bet.";}} ///////////something wrong with this ^/// print "var dump before mincard if statement:"; var_dump($_SESSION); if($mincard_display=="A"){ $othercard=$_SESSION['maxcardsess']; print "var dump before nested maxcard if statements:"; var_dump($_SESSION); if($othercard-1 > 14-$othercard){ $acecard=1; $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=max($othercard,$acecard); $_SESSION['mincardsess']=min($othercard,$acecard); print "</br>Ace will have a value of $acecard, because it favors your bet.";} else{ $acecard=14; $_SESSION['maxcardsess']=max($othercard,$acecard); $_SESSION['mincardsess']=min($othercard,$acecard); print "</br>Ace will have a value of $acecard, because it favors your bet.";}} print "<p>high card=$maxcard_display. low card=$mincard_display.<br />"; print "<input type='submit' name='dowhat' value='BET'>"; print "<input type='submit' name='dowhat' value='PASS'>"; } else if ($nextaction=="BET") { #################### # SCREEN TWO #################### $wincard=rand(1,14); $wincard_display=wincardfunc($wincard); $maxcard_display=maxcard_displayfunc(); $mincard_display=mincard_displayfunc(); $maxvalue=$_SESSION['maxcardsess']; $minvalue=$_SESSION['mincardsess']; print "highcard=$maxcard_display <br/>"; print "target=$wincard_display <br/>"; print "lowcard=$mincard_display <br/>"; if (($wincard<$maxvalue) && ($wincard>$minvalue)) { print "You win!"; } else { print "You lose!"; } print "<input type='submit' name='dowhat' value='NEXT DRAW'>"; } else print "Error 100: nextaction=$nextaction, but I don't know what to do.";?></form></div></div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm not exactly sure if that's the reason for the particular problem, but it seems like something to cause trouble so... case 1 || 14: "1 || 14" is going to return a boolean value. That value in turn is going to be compared to whatever is in the switch. Since it's a loose comparrison, this essentially means this is only going to match 1, but not 14. If you want the code below this to execute in either case, you should have two separate case statements below each other, like: case 1:code 14: Fix this in all places, and see if it helps.

boen_robot Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Try to indent all of your PHP code properly. Right now, the style you have isn't exactly clear as to where each code block starts and ends.I suggest using the K&R style, tailored for PHP, like: statement;if (condition) { statement; if (nestedCondition) { statement; }elseif(condition) { statement; }else { statement; }}else { statement;} (and add block delimiters even around one liners like the last print)Doing just that is likely to reveal some sort of bracket mismatch (where you end a section earlier or later than you think you are).

boen_robot Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I don't really see a change from your previous code, but anyway, upon doing some proper formatting myself (using NetBeans' "Format" option), I saw the problem... it's that you're having the whole thing inside a function, but the $nextaction variable is outside of a function.In PHP, unlike many other languages, variables are available only in the scope they're declared - they are not available in inner scopes. A new scope is defined by each function, plus the one in the global scope. You can import a variable from the global scope into a function scope by adding "global $nameOfTheVariable" somewhere in the function.BTW, if you turn on warnings, you'll see a warning initially due to the $_POST['dowhat'] being undefined. It's best to manually check for its existance and set a default value.Here's a solution, with the suggestion implemented (I'm setting the default value to an empty string in this case; see Ternary Operator if this construct is new for you) and formatted in the way I had in mind: <?phpsession_start();?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <div class="roundedBox"> <div class="top"><div class="bottom"><div class="left"><div class="right"><div class="topLeft"><div class="topRight"><div class="bottomLeft"><div class="bottomRight"> <div class="boxContent"> <div id="content"> <form method='post'> <?php $nextaction = isset($_POST['dowhat']) ?

Caitlin-havener Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I guess I didn't really understand what you were saying with the formatting. Yeah, I'm still getting used to the whole global variable thing but see what you are doing now. What is "$nextaction = isset($_POST['dowhat']) ? $_POST['dowhat'] : '' doing after the "?" mark?

justsomeguy Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's a shorthand if/else assignment statement. This line: $nextaction = isset($_POST['dowhat']) ? $_POST['dowhat'] : ''; is equivalent to this: if (isset($_POST['dowhat'])) $nextaction = $_POST['dowhat'];else $nextaction = ''; The first part of the statement is the condition to check, then after "?" it's the value to return if the condition was true, and after ":" is the value to return if the condition was false.

Caitlin-havener Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 What happens when you run that?This program is a card game where there are two random values generated (2-14), then you bet or pass on whether you think the third generated value will fall in between the first two values. They are shown as graphics of cards 2-10 and J,Q, K, A(value of 1 or 14). CURRENT TASK: I need to make the game have two teams- a black team and gold team. The first screen with the two generated values should display "black team's turn" and it will still be their turn if the "bet" button is pushed but if they push "pass" then "gold team's turn" will display. (I'm going to need to come up with a way to keep score of each team later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That function should work. I don't think that code you pasted is the one you're using though, that looks like something else. What happens when you actually run it, what is it doing that it's not supposed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 There's only HTML in that last "full code" example.... I'll assume your real full code is the previous one.... there are a lot of commented sections in it. Maybe some of them have what you want.You should seriously consider enabling error display so that you can see some of the wrongs yourself. The easiest way to do that is to add the following in your PHP file, right before session_start(): error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); The error I see with your script when I bet is that $turn is undefined, and indeed, it isn't... it was defined... sort of... in your commented parts.

Caitlin-havener Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Later in the code, I try to define $turn by "$turn=whosturn()." I want turn to be defined by the following function: function whosturn(){ if(isset($_SESSION['turnsess']) || $_SESSION['turnsess']=="gold") { return $_SESSION['turnsess']="black"; } else { return $_SESSION['turnsess']="gold"; }} I don't get why it doesn't work, but I'm new to using the "isset" function. Do you see whats wrong here? Some of my other attempts are commented out. I posted the wrong code prior meant to put the following: <?phperror_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); session_start(); ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
