PostPosted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 4:49 pm   Post subject: Linking Tables

I've finally got my game off the ground and need a little assistance with onme thing. I have a table for the users which sign-up and also a table for the users stats. Now, how would I go about linking these tables so that when a user signs-up, not only is the info placed into user table but a row gets placed into the stat table according to the username?

Eg..
User Signs-Up
Info goes to user table
Username goes to stat table and creates random stats.

add an ID to the records in everytable.... so u enter the userinfo data to the info table with some id number for example 8... then u enter the username to the user table with same id 8... so now u can make query to the database and ask for the record with the id 8... so now u can have everyrecord with IDs and u can link them to eachother... btw the ID is and INT and has to be autoincrement.

autoincrement.
I don't like that at all...it creates so much troble...
What i do is when i enter the id,
i just get the last id that is there in the table and $id++; it ;D
So, if i delete arecord, it works prefectly. ( and want to add a new one )

Maybe you could post some code..so we can see what your doing wrong....or not...you can just keep telling us its not working, and we can throw random ideas out.

Its up to you.

But sometimes it creates problems, but it still works....

Lets see, have you got your table names all correct?
uname, str, def, agi, abi, acc, hp, hpl, mp, mpl, gold

code:

// CODE THAT ISN"T WORKING AT ALL...IVE TRIED IT IN MANY SPOTS AND NOTHING.     
$str=intval(rand(3,6));
$def=intval(rand(1,4));
$agi=intval(rand(2,5));
$abi=intval(rand(1,3));
$acc=intval(rand(20,40));
$hp=intval(rand(25,40));
$mp=intval(rand(10,15));
$hp=$hp+40;
$mpl=$mp;
$hpl=$hp;
$gold=intval(rand($str+$def+$agi,$hp+$mp));

$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO stats (uname, str, def, agi, abi, acc, hp, hpl, mp, mpl, gold)
                VALUES ('$username','$str', '$def','$agi','$abi','$acc','$hp','$hpl','$mp','$mpl','$gold')");
//END OF CODE THAT DOESN'T WORK


(THIS IS A QUESTION ;D not a correction)
