@NogDogJun 09.2014 — #I would only use printf() if you are going to use place-holders in the string with additional arguments, otherwise just use echo.
I would try to come up with an algorithm that detected 3-in-a-row conditions that could be applied to a function call, returning the winner if there is one, else null or false. That would help with the DRY principle (Don't Repeat Yourself).
As in the previous reply, though, do you have any specific problem/question you need addressed?
need help in php
So I have managed to get this far with the code. I’m making a simple tic tac toe game for my school project and I would be very happy if someone could help me with my code.
[code=php]

<?php
$WINNER = ‘N’;
$box = array(”, ”, ”, ”, ”, ”, ”, ”, ”);
if (isset($_POST[“sb”])) {
$box[0] = $_POST[“box0”];

$box[2] = $_POST[“box2”];
$box[3] = $_POST[“box3”];
$box[4] = $_POST[“box4”];
$box[5] = $_POST[“box5”];
$box[6] = $_POST[“box6”];
$box[7] = $_POST[“box7”];
$box[8] = $_POST[“box8”];
if (($box[0] == ‘x’ && $box[1] == ‘x’ && $box[2] == ‘x’) ||
($box[3] == ‘x’ && $box[4] == ‘x’ && $box[5] == ‘x’) ||

$WINNER = ‘x’;
echo ‘WINNER IS: X’;
}
$blanck = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i <= 8; $i++) {
if ($box[$i] == ”) {
$blanck = 1;
}
}
if ($blanck == 1 && $WINNER == ‘n’) {
$i = rand() % 8;
while ($box[$i] != ”) {
$i = rand() % 8;
}
$box[$i] = ‘o’;

$WINNER = ‘o’;
echo ‘WINNER IS: O’;
}
} else {
$WINNER =’t’;
print ‘Tied game’;
}
}
