Someone script this one...
      #328755 - Thu Jan 25 2007 10:59 PM

I'm not sure if this is already available but if not, I suspect it would be easy for a bright spark coder on webuser to knock up!

I want to go to a site called something like 'UK Lotto Mass Lucky Dip cash predictor' (Yep, a mouthful I know!)

On this site I would choose between 10 lines up to, well lets say, 30,000 lines of lucky dips. Obviously i wouldn't cough up but those lines would be stored and then used on the next lotto draw. When the lotto is drawn, the site would instantly work out how much I could have won.

I'm not sure of the use such a site would have apart from a novelty factor, but I was talking earlier about what I would do with a wind fall of £30 grand and I wondered aloud how much 30k worth of lucky dips would earn me this Saturday.

OK, I know of several php coders on this very website forum who could knock-up such a site.
The idea is yours for the taking but if you do create it and win big time....

remember me
Would you like to see this site created?
You may choose only one
yes
no
not bothered

I could zip up the website above if you want it and you could have a bash at writing it yourself .

No need to PM just say if you want it and i'll post the url for the zip file on here .

Hi Thanks for that emailuser but I'm not sure I'd have the skills to do it. I could probably sort out a way to generate the required amount of lines and numbers - say 10,000 lines of 6 numbers each, but that would be about my barrow. The next thing would be to set-up a database to store them (which I might be able to do) then a way to get the weekly numbers from the lotto site. Then a way to get the script to analyse each users list to see how many lines had 3 matching, 4 matching etc.. numbers. THEN (phew!) a way to add up the cash won etc and output it..

Having said all that, I suspect it wouldn't be hard to do this. Plus it could be developed into some sort of 'fantasy lotto' game. Hmmmmmmm!

Zip it up emailuser and I'll have a go.

cheers

www.pickoftheweek.co.uk/lotto.zip

Let me know when you have downloaded it so i can delete it from the webspace .

password: qwerty

You can change the password in the laineys_password.php file .

To use/surf .php files offline you need to install something like XAMPP if you havent already done so .

/xampp/htdocs/lotto/

You need to put the LOTTO folder into the HTDOCS folder for it to work .

http://localhost

Use the above url to surf the lotto folder on your windows pc - regardless if you are online or offline .

By the way dude - its only suitable for windows web hosting as i havent bothered with any linux web hosting file permission stuff .

In short - it will work fine on your windows pc - but if you upload it to linux webspace then you will get loads of file permission error messages .
