Alright, so I'm making my own PHP game like the ones Moose has done during the past few months.
I'm starting to set up testing conditions that will later be replaced with SeN's MySQL.
I've got:
mt_rand(0 , 2500);
And I want to make $minerals equal to the number that mt_rand(0 , 2500); will generate. How do I do that?

first off what is this: mt_rand(0 , 2500);
looks like a trigger but ive never seen it before

It's PHP, a web-programming language,not Starcraft triggers or anything.
mt_rand(0 , 2500) will generate a random number between 0 and 2500.

$minerals = mt_rand(0, 2500);
Or did I misunderstand something? You can use functions when defining variables.

Just do:

You can't download PHP... Lol. It's a programming language.

You can download support for PHP on a server hosted on your computer (probably apache), and then you can practice it on your local computer, or you can get online hosting with PHP support and use it there. It's free.

Thanks guys.
I was doing $minerals=mt_rand(0 , 2500); so I was getting a parse error. I'll keep this thread open for all the PHP questions I'll be needing.
PHP is free, all you need is learn it and create with it. It's like HTML, only PHP is used to manipulate HTML on the server-side. You will need to download an Apache server tot hat your PC can parse the PHP code.

You got a parce error because you didn't put a space between text and the =? Never got that before.

It's possibly the version of PHP that I'm using. When I did PHP before re-downloading my current Apache, I didn't use spaces.

im talking about a program that can edit the code/create the code its self, you know something like visual basics/ c++.
But that doesnt matter since beer keg just said its html code I know how to edit that.
So dont assume i dont know what im talking about Wilhelm.
Besides the fact that is what this web site is for to ask questions to learn, not to be rude.

I said it's like HTML. It's used to create webpages.
Okay, I got this:
This is data.php, it's used to create all the variables I need. For now, it only has minerals.
This is index.php, there is more code in this file, but that's not important.
This is form.php and where I need $minerals to also be included. The problem is that I can't include data.php again because it'll generate a different number. How to I include only 1 variable or a piece of code from one file to another and not getting a different number? I need the exact same number that was randomized on that specific pageload.

I might be wrong, but you can make the original variable global and erase it later. I'd use the $_SESSION thing for that. It might not work if you use an old version of PHP, though. If you don't want it to generate another number, either make it two seperate files, one which generates and one which doesn't, or make it so that when the second file recieves everything it sets a global boolean to 'true', and when the variable is set to 'true', the first file acts differently.

Just make it global
In the page that has the include.
Or you could store it in a session, or another superglobal.
Also, why are you using include? You should use require, so that if it can't be included the script will fail. Prevents cheating and whatnot.

global $minerals;

When I use include, I make it in this format ..
It might be that your version doesn't support absence of the (), but other then that I don't know what might be the problem there. Is disc_func.php in the same directory as the file including it?
In index.php, for some reason you have <<<html with 3 in front and no closing to the tag.. It should be <html> (of course
). What's the HTML; thing for?
And the rest looks fine..
CODE
include("file.extension");

Yoshi told me that those are the tags to do HTML in an echo.
echo <<<HTML <--open up HTML
Put your HTML code here
HTML; <---close HTML and echo
Yes, dice_func.php is in the same directory, it's a future file I'll have to code, it only containts some comments.

Those tags open and close the HTML in echo? I really doubt it. You can almost certaintly use the standard <HTML> and </HTML> tags.

Thanks.
As for the variable $minerals issue, what I was told to do was this:
Put session_start(); in every php file.
Then put $minerals = $_SESSION['minerals']; in form.php and data.php. It won't be put in index.php because data.php is included in index.php. It's sort of like a global session-only variable.
ADDITION:
I've got:
case ($minerals < $_POST["minbet"]):
Which I want to combine with:
case ($minerals <= 0):
How do I put it in once case so that the oucome is something similar to:
case ($minerals < $_POST["minbet"] && $minerals <= 0):

Oh, and it might be easier if you add this to the page recieving the post..

$minbet = $_POST['minbet'];
Much easier to work with.
