I am helping in some PHP design for a friends text game and have come to a stump.
I have scheduled a cron job to call the following page / following code, which is working correctly
<?php require("connect.php"); ?>
<?php
$sql = "SELECT id, name, health FROM users";
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_object($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($query)) {
$id = htmlspecialchars($row->id);
$name = htmlspecialchars($row->name);
$health = htmlspecialchars($row->health);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM property WHERE living='1' AND ownerid='$id'";
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_object($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($query)) {
$OwnerName = htmlspecialchars($row->ownername);
$OwnerID = htmlspecialchars($row->ownerid);
$RaidPropBonus = htmlspecialchars($row->raidperc);
$RaidPropMoney = htmlspecialchars($row->raidcash);
$PropertyLvl = htmlspecialchars($row->proplvl);
$Living = htmlspecialchars($row->living);
if($PropertyLvl == '5' && $Living == '1'){
if($health < '100'){
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET health=$health + '1' WHERE id='$id'")
or die(mysql_error());
} else { }
} else { }
}
}
?>
Although this only works for ONE user only. I cannot understand why this is. Any other logged in / out accounts that have met the criteria have been ignored. I can maybe only think I am missing a loop? As the ID that is being met first is number 1 and it has stopped there?
Anybody advice at all maybe?
UPDATE - It seems correct I need to get a loop in there, but am so far failing to get this loop working correct. No matter where I seem to amend / add a loop it does not help. Please may somebody suggest anything?
UPDATE2 - As requested, updated with the new version of loop
For what I've understood, the loops should be made on the mysql_fetch_object that will get the each row from the query.
Take a look at the snippet
<?php
require("connect.php");
// here prepare the $userQuery (the one that fetches all users)
// then the first loop that will read each usew row
// AFAICT this should afect all script
while($userRow = mysql_fetch_object($userQuery))
{
// prepare data fetched from the $userQuery
// prepare the $propertyQuery (the one that fetches all properties of the user)
// then the second loop to read all user property rows
// and this will afect the updates
while($propertyRow = mysql_fetch_object($propertyQuery))
{
// prepare data fetched from $propertyQuery
// add logic here
}
}
?>
Also @Matthew Carpenter had a valid point, that mysql_* is deprecated, you should consider in using mysqli_*, or in my opinion take a look at PDO
