[Trilite] newbie q :)

Prolly dumb questions but I have to ask :p

1. Is this suppose to be a form? Cos I don't see any other way how php could react to a click on a simple table. So my question is: Is user suppose to click on a radiobutton and hit submit? Or?

2. I'm guessing that sql is not allowed here?

Much thanks!!!

Actually, there is no HTML involved at all.. The scripts will be run automatically by another script. All you need to do is check the $_GET["lastmove"], and output a single number indicating your move, nothing else.

SQL is not allowed, I think.. Matt will have to confirm this.

Question 1:
Yes it looks like your script is called from a form using the get method. Your script is called from the judge script in an url like

http://localhost/trittle.php?lastmove=1

and in your script if you put

php Code:

Original - php Code
<? print $_GET['lastmove']; ?>

 
<?
print $_GET['lastmove'];
?>

it would print '1'

Question 2:
I think using SQL would give Matt a lot more work on the judging. he would have to create databases and give access to scripts. Make sure scripts dont use the same tables enz.

so i think SQL will not be allowed

My guess is you want SQL for storing variables that you can access the next time you run the script. So i included a script that shows ho to do that using serailize. Nothing fancy, just enough to get you started.

Good luck in the game ;)

php Code:

Original - php Code

 
<?
$boardfilename='board.txt';
 
/* see if we have a file with settings */
if (file_exists($boardfilename))
{
  if (!$handle = fopen($boardfilename, 'r'))
    die("Cannot open file ($boardfilename)");
  /* here we read the board into $board */
  if (!$board = unserialize(fgets($handle)))
    die("Cannot read from file ($boardfilename)");
  fclose($handle);
} else {
  /* if the file was not there initialize the board  */
  $board=array(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"turn" => 0);
}
 
/* increase turn */
$board['turn']++;
 
/* turn should be 1 the first time you run the script
   and increase every run after that */
print $board['turn'];
 
/* write our settings for next run */
if (!$handle = fopen($boardfilename, 'w'))
  die("Cannot open file ($boardfilename)");
if (!fwrite($handle, serialize($board)))
  die("Cannot write to file ($boardfilename)");
fclose($handle);
?>
