Random Adoptables
Sorry if this has been asked before
but, I'd like to know how to make the adoption page looks like virtuadopt.com where the users don't know what they are adopting untill the eggs are hatched My adopt.php page fetch a random adoptables from database and everything seems to be working fine since I remove any info about the adoptables from the adopt.php page but recently one of the users knows how to work around this random adoption thing he type in URL to directly access the adoption page for an adoptable like http://www.domain.com/adopt.php?id=X and then adopt the adoptable he wants! So does anyone know how to make the adoption page like virtuadopt? |

RE: Random Adoptables
With some modification you could change your adopt.php page to use POST instead of GET, so that users would have to click a form button to adopt the pet and then the adoptable ID would not be passed via the browser's address bar.
How much PHP do you know? |

Wouldn't they still be able to use firebug or something to change it?
Perhaps getting a random number and selecting that from the db? You'd have to make it exclude certain retired / deleted pets, but it could work. |

the method you suggested seems to be really good, but it also seems kinda complicated EDIT: tried to do what brandon said, but no luck. When the users clicked the button, it only refresh the page |

RE: Random Adoptables
My method isn't complicated, it'd just require work. I'm sure you'll figure it out in no time. Simple select from the database with ORDER BY RAND() and then get the first adoptable kind and give them that adoptable. Easy enough. :D

RE: Random Adoptables
Well unfortunately that still doesn't fix my problem which is how to make sure that the user can't cheat his way to adopt any adoptables he wants...

RE: Random Adoptables
That would solve your problem, I don't see why it wouldn't. You either do it that way - generate the adoptable upon adopting, this eliminating the need to have ids in the url - or you let him cheat his way there. Your choice.
