Gender? [answered]

[Arianna]

Being the PHP beginner that I am, I know I messed something up.
I added a new column to the owned_adoptables table, Gender. I had only one pet on the system, and I edited the myadopt action stats so that it showed the gender too.
I manually entered the gender via phpmyadmin, no big deal yet, because I have a problem which I encountered.
It will display the gender, but this seems to totally lock out any new adoptables. xP
How do I get around this? Also, if you know, how can I set it so on adoption it chooses either Female or Male (50/50 chance) and inserts it into the table?
Thanks,
Arianna

EDIT: I managed to make it so the default is female, and so it inserts that in - however, I'm stuck on how I can insert a random chance which chooses either 'Male' or 'Female' for the gender field.

You would need it to look for gender the same way it does for alts in the functions.. I realize you are new & trying.. but trust me on this one.. look closely at the functions page in the include foler.. find how it looks for alts & you will figure it out. :) I have faith :)

I found it out now :) My code was this, in the doadopt.php file:

//my gender mod

$tempgender = rand(0, 1);
if($tempgender == "0") {
$gender = "female";
unset($tempgender);
}
else {
$gender = "male";
unset($tempgender);
}

And then later I used the $gender variable to insert it in the sql query.
Thank goodness my dad knows computer programming, even if he doesn't know PHP. x3
