[PHP] Variables

2001-07-10 Thread James Bartlett

Hi,

This might sound really simple but plz humour me :)

How can I tell if two text variables are equal to one another?

If I use..

if($text1 = $text2)
{
echo "The variables are equal";
}
else
{
echo "The variables are not equal";
}

then the code in the else state is always printed even if I know for a fact that the 
variables are equal...

Any suggestions?

James



[PHP] random number problem...

2001-07-10 Thread James Bartlett

Hi,

I've written a picture rotation script, file paths are stored in a file and are called 
depending on a random number generator..

The problem is that out of 14 possible numbers only 7 are been generated.

the code I'm using is...

srand ( (double) microtime()*1000); 

$numbertodisplay = rand(0, (($no_items)-1));

The variable $numbertodisplay only ever takes the values 0,2,4,6,8,10,12.

Is there a reason that the only numbers produced are even?

Thanks for any  help..

James

  Sometimes you have to do this to make it work.

  fwrite($fp, strval($counter) . "\n");

Thanks for the response so far...

I'm still not sure on how to get the code to start on a new line in the file (yes they 
are text files). Say I wrote variable1 to line one how do I get it to write the next 
variable to line two?

  Assuming you're talking about text files:

  A. suck the whole thing up in memory, change it there, write it back out.
  B. open a temp, copy till the line of interest, write your change,
 copy remainder. mv/cp the temp to the original.
  C. read to line of interest, ftell(), suck remainder into memory.
 ftruncate(), fseek(), write your changes, write out the remainder.
