How can I get a random image to pop up on the adopts pages, not everytime it loads.... just randomly, and random pictures? I want to make a sort of trick or treat hunt for my members.Once they see an image they click it and it is added to a special page they can access. I know how to do all that, I just don't know how to get the random images to show up.

What if I made a new table called treats? and inserted all the images into it. Then on the adopts page I could make them echo out randomly. Then once it's clicked, run a query that inserts the image into a new field in the users table. But how could I make the image NOT show up every time the page is clicked?

you can try this

PHP Code:


		
			

<?php

$treat = secure($_GET['treat']);

if(!empty($_GET['treat'])){

$success = 0;

if($treat == 0){

// query for adopt?
$success = 1;
}
elseif($treat == 1){

// query for adopt?
$success = 1;
}
elseif($treat == 2){

// query for adopt?
$success = 1;
}
elseif($treat == 3){

// query for adopt?
$success = 1;
}
elseif($treat == 4){

// query for adopt?
$success = 1;
}
elseif($treat == 5){

// query for adopt?

$success = 1;
}

if($success == 1){
echo "You have successfully collected this treat!";

}
}else{

$show = rand(0,100);

$random = rand(0,5);

// 1 on 100 chance to show an image

if($show == 1){

//random image, modify the $random etc, and add more if ya want
if($random == 0){

$image = "http://image.com/lol.png";
$link = "http://lol.com/adopt.php?id=bl1a";
}elseif($random == 1){

$image = "http://image.com/lol1.png";
$link = "http://lol.com/adopt.php?id=bla";
}
elseif($random == 2){

$image = "http://image.com/lol1.png";
$link = "http://lol.com/adopt.php?id=bla";
}
elseif($random == 3){

$image = "http://image.com/lol1.png";
$link = "http://lol.com/adopt.php?id=bla";
}
elseif($random == 4){

$image = "http://image.com/lol1.png";
$link = "http://lol.com/adopt.php?id=bla";
}
elseif($random == 5){

$image = "http://image.com/lol1.png";
$link = "http://lol.com/adopt.php?id=bla";
}




// now actually paste it

echo "<a href='".$link."'><img src='".$image."' /></a> <font color='red'>YOU FOUND A TREAT! CLICK HERE TO COLLECT IT!</font>";

}
}

?>

all i worry about is spamming treats, you could put some security on it, so it can only be gotten once a time or something :)

Ooooo thank you!! Will try this now =)

EDIT: Ok so maybe I should know how this works. I added in some images and when I refresh I'm getting a broken image every time.

How about show a random image every 10 minutes?

i editted the thing a lil bit, uhm check the echo i did, maybe theres an typo in it, and i think it would require cronjobs or a time stamp in a database table, and delete it every 10mins after it was entered.

Edit: u can experiment with it, i really gotta go back to my homework for tomorrw x3

i saw the error on your site, fixed

[s]Now I get this... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in /home/robynswo/public_html/myadopts.php on line 19[/s]

LoL =) Ok so I'm not good with cron jobs.... what would I need to do?

edit:
actually I'm not seeing the image at all... I changed echo to $article_content .=" too and still nothing.. hmm

i already fixed it for u in my post, it should work now

i found one, it looks like a vampire :D, somehow it changed ur font size? :o?

btw link should be myadopts.php?treat=id

YEa I fixed that part. Thanks for the start! I'll play with it a bit today. If I can't get it working at least I can probably fix it before next Halloween LOL

I've yet to see one O.o

Ha! Got one.. now to figure out how to save it to a user and show it on a new page. ugh.

maybe you're better of with using the adopt.php link and limit it to one per acc

what do you mean? (don't let me keep you from homework ^^)

well ignore the top part (the if(!empty($treat)){) completely and use the adopt.php for the queries and stuff, i think it would be quicker and safer then recoding the whole thing just for some treats :3

oy... so basically let them adopt a treat? How do I manage that?

add an adoptable with the treat and use the adopt.php?id= // here your adopt number
as link, and put restrictions on it while your adding the adoptable.

Grrr the id= is blank >.>

just use the doadopt?id= link with the id already in it at $link

so example: $link = "http://silvadopts.com/doadopt.php?id=86";

ahh can i use any number?

use the number from the adoptable u made (adoptable ID from adopt.php)

illl do it detailed:

1. create all treats as adoptables and make them promo code with something randomly unguesabble, and put that it can only be adopted once PER ACC, so not the first option
2. use the promo key and adopt it, you will see something like this: doadopt.php?id=1&name=lol&promocode=abcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz&Submit=Adopt+Me

take the first part: doadopt.php?id=1 and use it in ur link

so it would be site.com/doadopt.php?id=1

trying to test with just the skeleton and he won't come up.... stubborn treat. must be a trick >.>

somehow i got some errors and ur site is messed up for me :o?

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_c3cf5ec414dabe40b0a17d180d683ad5, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/robynswo/public_html/inc/functions.php on line 21

maybe 777 your /tmp folder?

it does that sometimes... it is 777... i've talked to my web host and am waiting for it to happen to me again so I can screen shot it.

k, i cant manage to get any treats x3, maybe remove restriction on how many u can adopt, but it could be spammable, because if you get the same treat again, you cant adopt one anymore.

nah, i don't want them getting more than one so i'll keep it as is. you=awesome! thanks so much for your help! eventually when i DO get the skeleton and it works i can then make the show page which will be the easy and fun part!

well it was working but now it says invalid id =/

its because you already have 1 of the adoptables, or you accadently set 1 adoptable instead of 1 adoptable per acc.

it's working now, however it's allowing more than one to be adopted even though i set the conditions.
