I am working on an online card game. Problem is that it is only suppose to be a 1 deck game, I thought I had it figured out, but guess I don't...

Here is how I am defining the cards...

code:
$usedcards = array();

$cards = array(
"blackjack/cards/h2.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h3.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h4.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h5.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h6.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h7.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h8.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h9.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h10.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h11.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h12.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h13.gif" , "blackjack/cards/h14.gif" , 
"blackjack/cards/s2.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s3.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s4.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s5.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s6.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s7.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s8.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s9.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s10.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s11.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s12.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s13.gif" , "blackjack/cards/s14.gif" , 
"blackjack/cards/d2.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d3.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d4.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d5.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d6.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d7.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d8.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d9.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d10.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d11.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d12.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d13.gif" , "blackjack/cards/d14.gif" , 
"blackjack/cards/c2.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c3.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c4.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c5.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c6.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c7.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c8.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c9.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c10.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c11.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c12.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c13.gif" , "blackjack/cards/c14.gif" ,
"blackjack/cards/joker.gif");

$values = array(
"2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "11" , 
"2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "11" , 
"2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "11" , 
"2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "10" , "11" ,
 "11" );

$aces = array(12,25,38,51,52);



Here is a snip of the users hand...

code:
session_unregister("usercard");
	$usercard = array();
	$total = "";
	for ($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {
		$num = rand(1000,9999);
		mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 9999999);
		$card = mt_rand (0,52);
		do {
			mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 9999999);
			$card = mt_rand (0,52);
		} while (in_array($card,$usedcards));
		array_push($usedcards,$card);
		$usercard[$i] = $card;
	}
	$total = getTotal($usercard);
	session_register("usercard");

	print showCards($dealercard,"dealershand","<strong>Dealers Hand :</strong>  Don't you wish...");
	print showCards($usercard,"yourhand","<strong>Your Hand</strong> : $total");
	print showChoices();
	print showScore();

}



Seemed to be working for a bit, but all of the sudden I got a hand with a pair of 2 of clubs, and a pair of 2 of diamonds, and the dealer had 2 ace of spades.

Anyone have an idea why this isn't working??

If you need more code, let me know.

a) You'r not keeping the image and the card value together... that's prone to cause a bit of trouble when you're shuffling.
Try having an array of array($file,$value);

b) doing a good array shuffle yourself is not that easy. There's a whole section in The Art of Computer Programing on this, I believe.

Why don't you use php->shuffle() instead?

I'd make one array of small "card" data objects. (PHP 5 syntax)

class Card {
public Suit;
public Card;
public Image;
function __construct(img, suit, card) {
$this->Suit = suit;
$this->Card = card;
$this->Image = img;
}
}

2 embedded for loops can construct it for you then you just need to do:

$array[num] = new Card(img,suit,card);

For every new game I'd copy that array to a new one, use shuffle and then array_pop to pull them off of the end.
