Hi, im pretty new at php and ive just started coding a fighting game.
Seem to be running into brick walls endlessly.

Im stuck on a bit that im sure is basic.
I want to give each of the 'fighters' below a target from the avalible fighters that isnt themselves.

//EXAMPLE $fighters  
		$fighters[0]='satan';
		$fighters[1]='daegon';
		$fighters[2]='krell';




foreach ($fighters as $id => $name) {

$fighter=mysql_query("SELECT*FROM`units`WHERE`u_nam`= '$name'");
$fighter=mysql_fetch_array($fighter);

$fighter_stats[$name]['id']=$fighter['u_id'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['name']=$fighter['u_nam'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['ene_cur']=$fighter['ene_cur'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['ene_max']=$fighter['ene_max'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['qua_cur']=$fighter['qua_cur'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['qua_max']=$fighter['qua_max'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['pas_cur']=$fighter['pas_cur'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['pas_max']=$fighter['pas_max'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['con_cur']=$fighter['con_cur'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['con_max']=$fighter['con_max'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['kil_cur']=$fighter['kil_cur'];
$fighter_stats[$name]['kil_max']=$fighter['kil_max'];

$fighter=mysql_query("SELECT*FROM`units`WHERE`u_nam`= '$name'");
$fighter=mysql_fetch_array($fighter);

Why the heck are you using the same variable for the return from the query and to contain each individual result? That's going to screw you up.

Really? Thanks i didnt know that, ill change it.
Still lost with the choosing target tho, any advice would be great.

....Still real messy.
Ive put down:

function target_list($own) {
      return (substr($own,$fighter_stats[$id]['id'])=="$fighter_stats[$id]['id']");
    }
	$target=array($fighter_stats);
    $avalible=array_filter($fighter_stats[$id],"target_list");
    $targeted=array_rand($avalible,1);
	
}

But thats not even close, any suggestions would be sweet.
