Hi All,
I am creating a very simple online poker game. The main poker engine that evaluates hands, distributes cards etc. is created in PhP.. I am not sure how to make the front end.. like the part that will be run at the client end to receive user inputs like mouse clicks.. I know I need to use javascript to capture mouse events but I am not sure how communicate information between php and javascript... for example.. when a poker tournament starts, some php array should keep track of a players chip count... and that based on the amount of chips he bets that array need to be modified.. I am not sure how to implement this type of functionality..
I will appreciate any suggestions and comments..
Thanks

Re: Poker in PhP
You poker cards would be images hyperlinked back to scripts on the server.
Your index.php would act as a central processor handling the reuqests and performing the required operations:
Code: Select all
<a href="index.php?card=ace_spades"><img src="images/ace_spades.png" alt="Ace of Spades" /></a>Code: Select all
<?php
switch$_GET['card']){
case 'ace_spades':
echo 'Do whatever is required for the ace of spades';
break;
case 'club_ten:
echo 'Do whatever is required for the ace of spades';
break;

I wrote the beginnings of a poker game in Javascript once... http://www.ooer.com/poker/ ...it's not even close to finished though. If you want the source code it's there for the taking. The js files are in /js and the card images are in /cards.
Not entirely sure how you'd tie that to some PHP mind you. Maybe some Ajax?

Re: Poker in PhP
hi guys... thanks a lot for your comments.. but the main thing that I am confused about is maintaining the varialble values in PhP.. as I mentioned before.. I need to keep track of the chips of all the people playing at the table.. now that variable is maintained at the server side within the php code.. how can I access and update this varialbe whenever some one bets during a specific poker round..
thanks
thanks
