Hello All,
I have a simple SpecialPage that takes in a text value from a form and
creates a page after appending a random number to the submitted name. The
problem I am seeing is that 2 pages are created with separate random numbers
even though I am calling it only once. I am not able to figure out why. Here
is my function and section of calling code.
$newName = $inputName. rand(1111,9999);
$this->createPage($newName);
function createPage($name) {
$tmp = <<<OUT
Some wikitext
OUT;
$title = Title::makeTitle(NS_MAIN, $name);
$article = new Article( $title );
if ($article->exists()) {
return "$name exists";
}
else {
$article->doEdit( $tmp, $name, EDIT_NEW );
return "created $name";
}
}
What am I missing here. The code works fine if I just use the inputName.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
