I am new to php and need help with something. I found a script i want to use but I think there is an error in it. It's the wu-name name generator located at http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/wuname.php
The script they have published seems to have an error, if you look at it you'll see what i mean. Unfortunatley, I dont know what I'm doing and can't figure out how to fix it.
If anyone would take a peek at it and help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks!
Unfortunately there are several mistakes in this script. The one that is keeping it from working properly is this one
should be:PHP Code:if ($request_method == "POST") {
PHP Code:if ($REQUEST_METHOD == "POST") {
Please don't PM me with questions.
Use the forums, that is what they are here for.
Thanks for looking at this for me! It still isn't working though, I can't figure this out. Their demo works, and I think others have applied the script before.
Is there anything else wrong in there that you can see?
Thanks
Okay I changed the whole script around and it works now, just make sure that the text files for the nouns and adjectives exist and are in the same folder as the script I used the demos at
adjectives:
http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/wu_adjs
nouns:
http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/wu_nouns
PHP Code:<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="POST">
<p><b>Enter your Name: </b><br>
<input type="text" name="realname" size=25>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>
<p><hr size=1 noshade></p>
<?
if ($realname != "") {
$displayname = $realname;
$realname = strtolower($realname);
// read in the two files into the arrays
$adj_array = file("adjective.txt");
$noun_array = file("noun.txt");
// set random seed
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
//get the random numbers for each
$arnd = rand(0,count($adj_array)-1);
$nrnd = rand(0,count($noun_array)-1);
// create name from random numbers
$wuname = "$adj_array[$arnd] $noun_array[$nrnd]";
echo("<P><font size=4><b>$displayname</b> from this day forward you <br>you will also be known as ");
echo("<font size='+1'><b> $wuname </b></font></font></p>");
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Thank you so much for this!!! I really appreciate it. I hope to learn more soon so I can do things such as this on my own, but it's so nice to know that there is a helpful place I can turn to in the meantime.
Thanks again!
