View Full Version : Foreach loop help

If anyone knows of the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console; that's good, I am making a 'simple' calculator that allows you (regardless of region) to find how many Wii points you would have after you downloaded some retro games onto the Wii. All I need is help with a foreach loop. Here is the PHP file (that does the interpreting of the form):


<?PHP
// ======================================================================
=====
// NORTH AMERICA
// ======================================================================
=====
$_PRICES['NES'] = 500;
$_PRICES['SNES'] = 800;
$_PRICES['N64'] = 1000;
$_PRICES['GEN'] = 800;
$_PRICES['TURBO'] = 600;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// SOUTH AMERICA
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// EUROPE
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ASIA
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
$_PRICES['FAM'] = 500;
$_PRICES['SFAM'] = 800;
$_PRICES['N64'] = 1000;
$_PRICES['MASTER'] = 800;
$_PRICES['PC'] = 600;
*/
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// OTHER
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

$total = 0;

foreach ($_PRICES as $current_game {

}

?>


Early December I had help with this same thing from my brother; it went onto a (currently down) 'server' as such I can't get the code but from the 1st calclulator I remember the loop having:

$_POST in it (I think $_POST['before']), $total, +=, $current_game. And another variable that I can't remember the name or what it was set as.


Also as I said before the PHP file interpreted a form which is:

I think I know what you are trying to accomplish but the code you posted (unless what I'm thinking you want is wrong) makes no sense as to how to accomplish your goal. Try the following code for wii.php:



<?php

$NES = $_REQUEST['NES'];
$SNES = $_REQUEST['SNES'];
$N64 = $_REQUEST['N64'];
$SEGA = $_REQUEST['GEN'];
$TURBO = $_REQUEST['TURBO'];

$nesCount = count($NES);
$snesCount = count($SNES);
$n64Count = count($N64);
$segaCount = count($SEGA);
$turboCount = count($turboCount);

$PRICES['NES'] = 500;
$PRICES['SNES'] = 800;
$PRICES['N64'] = 1000;
$PRICES['GEN'] = 800;
$PRICES['TURBO'] = 600;

$gTotal = ($PRICES['NES'] * $nesCount) + ($PRICES['SNES'] * $snesCount) + ($PRICES['N64'] * $n64Count) + ($PRICES['SEGA'] * $segaCount) + ($PRICES['TURBO'] * $turboCount);

echo 'Grand Total: <b>'.$gTotal.'</b> Points';
?>


Then the following for form.html (you should be able to see the changes I made):

That will produce the following example:

If on form.html you choose "Donkey Kong", "Donkey Kong, Jr" (both NES), and (on N64) "Mario 64":

The page will show



Grand Total: 2000 points


If you need any further help, or if I am wrong as to what you want to accomplish, let me know.

Uh no . . I want it output you'd have after you downloaded the games onto the Wii. If I select 3 NES games & input 3,000 Wii points I should get back like "You would have 1500 Wii points after your downloads".

So basically what you have now minus (-) what you select, right?

I guess, {but} add all the selections together - the Wii points you have.

Well then, add the following anywhere in form.html:



Current Points: <input type="text" name="current">


Then the following just underneath "<?php" in wii.php:



$current = $_REQUEST['current'];


Finally change the following at the bottom of the php (You will see what I have changed in red):



$gTotal = ($PRICES['NES'] * $nesCount) + ($PRICES['SNES'] * $snesCount) + ($PRICES['N64'] * $n64Count) + ($PRICES['SEGA'] * $segaCount) + ($PRICES['TURBO'] * $turboCount);

$gdTotal = $current - $gTotal;

echo 'Grand Total: <b>'.$gdTotal.'</b> Points';


Hope this helps.

Still doesn't calculate.



have said COUNTLESS amount(s) of times that I want to use:

* $_POST*
* $current_game
* +=
* $total

How hard is it to get that? None of the topics i've posted about this (weather it be here, or other forums) uses $_POST, $current_game. Always changing it around, i'm trying to replicate (dupe/duplicate) exactly the original & the original had those in it.

* Possibly $_POST['before'] I can't remember.

That was from another topic I made on another forum. Note that wasn't aimed at anyone at this forum. I am just sick & tierd of pepeople changing what i've seen in the posts of the topics.
