Sounds like someone's homework assignment is due tomorrow? :evilgrin:

Anyway, you might want to:

Calm down.
Stop pleading and begging, and instead...
...Explain carefully and in plain English exactly what it is you need.

I'm assuming you're referring to a chess knight's movement, but that's purely a guess based on what you've posted so far. If my guess is correct, no, I don't have the code nor do I have time to write it for you. I'd wager some creative web searching might find some code you could utilize.

Assuming you are talking about the chess knights trail.

A quick google found this java version which could be converted into php.

Of course, it's much more fun to work it out for yourself. Promotes logical thought and all sorts of other nifty skills a programmer needs to cultivate.

(Conversely, if it's not much fun then programming would also be a bit of a drag.)

Lolzer, what's difficult about it?

Eh, I prefer the "along one edge" representation:

+---+---+---+
|   |   |>>!|
+--->>>>/---+
|>>/|   |   |
+---+---+---+

It nicely captures the "jumping" aspect - see? It slides between the other pieces!

The current FIDE rules just use the geometric aspect: "The knight may move to one of the squares nearest to that on which it stands but not on the same rank, file or diagonal."
