Yup, that's the roulette selection, as they call it. It's pretty simple, actually. The idea is that you use a concept similar to a roulette table, just that the sectors aren't equal -- they're equal to their respective weights. The procedure is as follows: 1. Assign the weighting to each of the p

You could make hidden vars in your HTML page (in a form that submits to your PHP), alter their values in the JS, and then when you submit to the PHP it will have those. Then you can use $HTTP_POST_VARS to access the variables from inside the PHP. There might be an easier way, but I know this way
