Arcade Question

[x34cha]

I have an arcade... and I call the game names from the db, I want to be able to take a game name, if I click on a button/link and inject it into my html flash player. thanks

PHP Code:




mysql_selectdb("jaarcade_games",$con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die("Query failed with error: ".mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
something something
  }

?>

Please don't bump your posts.

Since $row will contain relevant information from your database, you can echo() out the code to insert the flash player, and include the information from $row within that.

Right but that would be for a specific game right?

I want a user to be able to click on any of my games, and the name inject into the flash player, through GET/POST???

I don't know, you haven't been very specific. Maybe with more information, we could be more helpful.

Ok, so I have called 5 game names from a database and I want to be in any way possible to inject say "blabla.swf" into my flash player in another file or on the same page, when they click on one of the submit buttons for each game, i want the name of that game to go into my flash player.

I did it.. code.. if anybody is interested...

PHP Code:

<?php

$con = mysql_connect("","","");

mysql_selectdb("jaarcade_games",$con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die("Query failed with error: ".mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
 $game = $row["game_name"];
  echo '<a href="/arcade2.php?game=' .$game. '"> ' .$game. '</a>';
 }

?>

So that first page sets the name. You might want to use:

PHP Code:

echo('<input type="hidden" name="game_name" value="'.$row['game_name'].'" />'); 


Then in the next page, when displaying the swfobject code, <embed> or <object>, use:

PHP Code:

echo($_POST['game_name']); 


in place of your swf file.
