Welcome to horse racing v.1.  This is a simple PHP game where you can
train, race and win money for your animals.  Eventually I'll make it a
whole barn with feeding and horses, and costs, age, breeding.  So on.
But for now, this is just a simple game.<br><br>

Enter six names of horses.
<FORM ACTION="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="post">
<? for ($i=1;$i<=6;$i++) { // I hate to repeat text ;)
        echo "Name$i : <INPUT TYPE=\"text\" NAME=\"name[]\" 
size=\"24\"><BR>\n";
?>
<input type="submit" name="submitNms" value="race them!">
</FORM>
<CENTER>Good luck!</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?
} else {
    srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // prepare the random sequence.
    $randomHorse = round(rand(1,6));      // makes a random horse
    $randomStrides = rand(1, 10);            // whatever strides are
    echo $name[$randomHorse] ." won the race by $randomStrides ! 
Congratulations."; // the var name is the array from the form.. 
}
?>
