I still don’t know what you mean. By “Game” do you mean just a glob of text/html stored in a mysql database?
Assuming the above is correct…
How many games are we talking about here? If there aren’t too many, you could just iterate over each record in your mysql database and echo a javascript array (using literal format for clarity) which can be read and presented with your script. For example,
<script>
//code generated by php
var games = ["this is a glob of text that represents game 1", "game 2", "game 3"];
//end of code generated by php
function showRandomGame( where ) {
document.getElementById(where).innerHTML = games[Math.floor(Math.random()*games.length)];
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="get random game" onclick="showRandomGame( 'mygame' );"/>
<div id="mygame"></div>
If there are a ton of games and you don’t want your users to have to wait for each one to load into your array, you will need to either: a. Force your user to refresh their browser to view a new random game (in which case you might as well just use PHP and no javascript), or b. Resort to a more sophisticated technique such as Ajax.
