I also added a piece of code which will show the current turn and how many points you have.
What happens when I test it.

^hol starts the game, ^turn checks the current turn and how many points you have. It stops when $turn gets to 10 since the second part of the source says to only do that bit if $turn<10, but it does not do the third part which it is meant to do once $turn==10. ^turn shows that the current turn is 10, which would mean $turn is 10, but for some reason it still doesn't work.

Anyone got an idea why this is?

Maybe it is because php is goofy and the type of a variable can change willy nilly. :)

You could try
intval($turn, 10)==10
;the first 10 means that $turn is written in base 10
to force the $turn variable into the number? I dunno, I'm not a php expert. :)

[Dazed_n_Confused]

In php, if $a="10", then $a == 10 is true. You can also do math with $a and it works fine.

You just need a "$nextnumber=rand(1,100);" after if ($turn==10){.
You set $nextnumber and $currentnumber equal, so none of the statements there are true.

Also, you can shorten up your code in a couple of ways. First, you only need to check for two winning conditions. You could then default to a third loosing condition. Second, $turn = $turn + 1 can be replaced with $turn++. You could also move $currentnumber = $nextnumber; to either above or below the "if ($playing==true&&$turn<10){ /*code*/ }" block instead of repeating it inside the if statement.

Theres a spelling error here:
fputs($socket, "PRIVMSG $ex[2] :LAWLCorrent, you get one point, the next

Oh right, thanks Dazed, also, I didn't notice that spelling mistake lol.

Update: I just tested it and it works :D
Thanks Dazed +10 :D

Thanks for the advice, Dazed. +10
