I think most of you have run into the problem of generating random cards (shuffling them) in almost every programming language. If not here is your chance .Now I want to try this in ASP. Ya ya I know WHY ASP...because I want a challenge and want to see how you people would think of doing it.
---------------------------
Rules To Develope:
---------------------------
- 40 cards
- 4 different suits
- each suit 10 cards with number 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
All it has to do is generate an ASP page listed with the randomly generated cards.
We have the need to have a random token (a 16 char alphanumeric field) to be used as the key for one of our SQL tables. I have created a random token generator, however after only 3 months in production, it appears that we had an instance where a token that already existed in the tables was created. There are 3810 records currently in the database so it isn't like there are billions of records there.
I contacted an old college buddy of mine who is a mathematician, and he claims, assuming that random really does mean random, that the chances of getting a duplicate token are 1 in 79.5 septillion (79,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So my conclusion is that this was either a complete freak of nature occurance, or my random generator isn't really all that random. Here is the code behind how I am generating this: Code:
So we use the Randomize function and Rnd to make a random number. Well my numbers can hardly be called random. So I have to ask is those two functions dependent on the web server? The web server sucks so much that it cant generate new Random numbers?
How Random is this?
Game1 2006-05-14 20:01:32 You picked a 4 of Clubs 2006-05-14 20:01:34 You picked a 4 of Clubs 2006-05-14 20:01:35 You picked a 2 of Diamonds 2006-05-14 20:01:37 You picked a 2 of Diamonds 2006-05-14 20:01:38 You picked a 2 of Diamonds
And then I added a Session function which takes the Number generated and make sure that it doesnt happen twice in a Row. But then it just switches between two values.
Game2 2006-08-09 13:55:12 You got hit by 11276 2006-08-09 13:55:16 You recieved 88515m³ Ice. 2006-08-09 13:55:21 You got hit by 11276 2006-08-09 13:55:30 You recieved 88515m³ Ice. 2006-08-09 13:55:37 You got hit by 11276 2006-08-09 13:55:39 You recieved 88515m³ Ice.
If I had'nt had the Session function it would simply be "2006-08-09 13:55:12 You got hit by 11276" 4 times in a row or something.
So I ask myself what is wrong? Is it the server or is it faulty programming on my side?
iOre = Int(30000 * Rnd + 5000)
If IsEmpty(Session("OreRandom")) = False then DO WHILE Session("OreRandom") = iOre Randomize iOre = Int(30000 * Rnd + 5000) LOOP End If
Does anyone know how to code in a very simple random number generator?
Basically, my ASP site is linked to an SQL d/base. What I want to do is have a "Random quote of the day"... the R.N.G. should spit out a number, and that number references the random_quote_ID in the d/base and spits it out.
I'm getting ready to start design on a random name generator. Basically a user would type in their first and last name and it would generate a random name pulling from a database. My question is this, what would be the best way to pull the random name? I was thinking of maybe just grabbing say the third letter of the first and last name and then matching them to a name, but I thought this would create to many duplicates. Maybe somebody out there can point me in the right direction.
The biggest n00b benefit I can see from Ruby on Rails, .NET, CakePHP or any framework/code generator is it's ability to auto create DAL and CRUD statments in a object oriented format.
Helping a friend to create a site in ASP, he has a bit of ASP knowledge and I have none at all We are looking add being able to add the abilitly to create new forms on his new website. Does anybody know of a good ASP form generator?
I am looking for a script or a tutorial on how to generate a web page by having a user fill in a few chosen fields and entering the information into some preprogrammed html code using variables.It would then display their page and underneath it the html code.
I am a web programmer and I have recently been involved in developing my first ASP.NET application written in C#. I am looking for a code generator to help me to implement the skeleton of the application.
I tried to search on the Internet and found a few, but none of them generate the stored procedures, the data access layer and the business layer. Can someone suggest me a good and bug-free code generator so I can focus on implementing the business rules rather than writing stored procedures and developing logic to load and save the data?
Does anyone know of any decent ASP code generators.I would like a program that automatically builds all the code for searches, reports, etc, giving just the path to a Microsoft Access MDB file. I have tried and used aspmaker, and it works pretty good. I was just wondering if there are any other programs out there that anyone recommends. Also does anyone know of any other "GOOD" asp forums besides this one
i am developing an e-move system. basically, this system required a customer to login first into the system before make any reservation. when a customer complete fill up a form with required data such as name, address, telephone number, email, date and time, i was wondering to give the customer a specific number as a reference number. customer will use this number to retrieve back the information if he has any changes to make and also to view the propose quotation from the mover company. my problem is, how can i include that particular process (reference number) into my e-move system?is there any auto number generator code/application?
i'm looking for a free image gallery generator in ASP 3 on ASP+. I've already looked on sourceforge.net but no one seems to fit my needs which include:
- admin area to create/destroy galleries, - upload/remove images, - placing comments on images.
I design auction templates and I need a way for my buyers to be able to fill out a form, click submit, and have a preview of the HTML template come up as well as the HTML coding so they can copy & paste it into their auction listing. Does that make sense?
I have NO experience with ASP programs but I was told by someone that this is what I need to get the results I am looking for. I do very well learning things on my own but this one has stumped me. I've spent many hours looking for any kind of tutorial or program that I could purchase.
However, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it.
there used to be a script by Bob Barrows which generated the vbscript for a stored procedure. The web site isn't there any more. Can anyone point me somewhere else?
I saw in SPF an ASP code that was usable to hide the first digits of a credit card number and replace them by a "*". I'm really sorry to post such a thread, but I can't find it back. Does anyone have the link? I've tried to check it in the funky functions and sections like that. Maybe just missed it but well. tried to see many times.
here problem comes. when user enters a different e-mail address (not same with my domain) it gives error. how can i solve this problem.. can jmail send an e-mail to differents domains?
I want to set a range of IP's using wildcard symbols but the script doesn't seem to be working. I'm putting the ip in a varchar value and calling it from the script. Can't something like 68.43.*.* work?
I'm working on a new project that involves purchasing stuff online. But I don't really know where to start. I know you need to process the cards through a gateway, and that's about it.
What I want is a secure page where the customer enters their credit card info and hits submit. I don't want to process it manually, I want it all to be automatic. I'm not asking for help coding this, because I understand its very complicated, and I don't trust that I will be able to make it secure if I were to do it myself.
What I'm asking is, can anyone recommend a good ASP script for processing credit cards? (all cards will be from the UK, so visa, mastercard, maestro, switch, solo etc...).
I don't want a shopping portal, just the credit card processing bit is what I'm after (anything under $100 would be ideal)! And also, what is a good gateway to use in the UK? And any other info/tips you can give me would be great too!
I am trying to create a simple, secure credit card payment system using either public/private key encrytpion.
I know public key encryption is probably more secure, but it is also slower from what I have been reading. What I am looking for is some examples of public or private key encryption.
My client wants to have credit card information fields on his forms for his website visitors to be able to buy his wervices by credit card.The credit card info-Brand, number and expiry date will be sent to the server and stored in the database as the .asp page calls itself on Submit.
How secure is this?I've never had to worry about it before but is form information encrypted before being sent to the server? Are there any legal obligations for handling peoples credit card information?The actual credit card payments will be handled manually at the clients company.
I have a website for our online store. Until now we have received payment through email, which we then run in our local store's Credit Card machine.
We want to move up from there. I have signed up for Paypal and that is easy.
We want to also be able to accept the CC info in our own website securely. We are not looking to actually run the Credit Card, we just want to get the information from the user and pass it on to ourselves in a secure manner, so that we can run the information locally on our Credit Card machine.
So, I guess, my questionj is not really about credit card's at all. Rather I am asking, how can I get a form's data sent to my computer 100% (or close to that) securely.
I would like to create a page where someone could select from say 12 different cards, Once they have clicked on the card it will take them to a page where they can input about 5 - 6 lines of text, select a font, font color and font size they would like to use.
Then they can hit a submit button that will take them to a confimation page showing them the card they have created. Once they view the card they can hit an aprove button which will then enter the information they have input into a database and also email the completed card to them as well as to myself so I can see what they created.
Does anyone have any idea where I could find a tutorial to help me do this? I am pretty sure I will have no problems with most of it. However, my concern is the font style, color and size selector, i have no clue how to go about creating something like that.
Either in the US or EU, when a customer makes a credit card purchase online, for how long after can the vendor legally store the encrypted credit card number in its database?
