redirect

[pretender5552]

I am trying to set it up so that a table appears after you do a job, the job is done by being sent to a separate php redirecting immediantly you back when the experience and money is add, so I am wondering how to create an if statement that is triggered by a redirect.

[PaxBritannia]

The easy way to do this would be to pass a get variable

Code: Select all

index.php?from=page1

in the redirect url, and test for it in the receiving page.

[pretender5552]

alright I get the get command so how would you write it?

[PaxBritannia]

You get the get, good!

Just request the variable and if it is true, then run the script:

url with get variable:

Code: Select all

index.php?redirect=1

detect get variable:

Code: Select all

$redirect = $_REQUEST['redirect'];

if($redirect==1){
	//it was redirected
}else{
	// it was not redirected
}

Remember, this script is not foolproof, that is, someone could just type it into their browser, and the script would think it was form a redirect. There are other ways to confirm it, but they are a tad advanced.

I got the variables in place so that if they are not of a high enough level or if they don't have enough energy they just get redirected back without the added stats.

edit I don't quite get how you have the url and get variable
edit ah I got it had to go back to the redirect go and insert an ?job1=1
edit I don't think it will work because I can't put a include_once command.

[Chris]

Why not? Are you trying to include something twice?

[pretender5552]

No the page I would have to include_once is the one that adds experience and money then redirects if I include that it will keep repeatedly adding experience and money then redirecting until I am out of energy.

[Chris]

Where there's a will there's a way. Can I see your code. Maybe I could point you in the right direction.

[pretender5552]

This is the page that it gets redirected to

Code: Select all

<?php
include_once 'connect.php';
include_once 'bannerbox.php';
?>

$jobsinfo2 = mysql_query($jobsinfo) or die (mysql_error());
$jobsinfo3 = mysql_fetch_array($jobsinfo2);

$experienceneeded = ($playerinfo3['level'] * 10) * 1.2;

if ($playerinfo3['experience'] >= $experienceneeded){

$redirect = $_REQUEST['job1'];

I'd advise you start learning some object oriented programming. Making a game like this will get too complicated if you're going to run scripts like that.

You should also use headers for refreshes and not meta tags. To do this you will need to redirect before sending any data to the client. So you cannot echo anything onto a page before a redirect.

What you'll have to do is set up a small framework for your game.

If you need any help I'll help point you in the right direction but making a game like this isn't going to work out very well. Once you complete a game like this it will only become more and more work. More and more debugging and a pure pain in the ass.
