[Solved] How to get PHP challenges by Sololearn account back?
When I was learning PHP course I received easy challenges from Sololearn account. After I started HTML course PHP challenges were replaced with HTML. HTML challenges are easy but I want to play more PHP before playing with real players. I decline challenges from real players because I am still a noob 🤭

Good question, Dual Core 👍! SL challenges are nerfed and easy to win. Try to be more active in "PHP department". I see there are still some lessons to be completed there. Accept a challenge, if you feel like playing. You don't have to play, if you don't want to!
But I think playing challenges is more about having fun not learning. My free kill victims, I mean my opponents, LOL, were lured to play with me because of chance of winning +32 XP. However they all failed to beat me without a baseball bat 😀😀😂. Just kidding!
But seriously! I don't play callenges for XP! I only play to get 1000 victories or 100% challenger. I don't rush it, because I got my life to live, I got work and chores to do, I got my family, friends and pets to take care of. Why would I wanna grind all day long or answer some questions I don't even like. A rhetorical question...
Happy coding, everyone ☺!

Dual Core how long have you waited for a PHP challenge after you rejected some challenges or changed your weapon from HTML? If you wanted a new challenge from SL, it will need more time and there is no challenge from other members for a while [perhaps, give more days]. Just be patient.....
By the way, in my case, all members [from no medal to platinum] were same. They had attacked me fiercely without mercy in almost all weapons. No matter I was very tired and not in a good condition.
I came here just for learning. But, they'd pushed me.....
Vitya you're an exception, you never challenge me :)
Note: PHP in SL is basic so it's not covering all....

Dual Core Thanks a lot for your compliment :)
This is my update.
From 17 June to 21 June, I had been reopening my HTML [so there was two activated weapons, ie. HTML and JS], but there was still no challenge from SL at all.
Then, I added more weapons [Java and Python]...
The result: now I got a Java challenge from SL. :)
For getting your PHP, PERHAPS, you need to deactivate all weapons for a while. Then, you reopen the PHP weapon...
Note: Once I received a Ruby challenge from SL while other players attacked me in other weapons. I didn't get any Ruby challenge at that time.

Dual Core Hi, this is my update answer, I am so sorry for the late respond (yes, "48 hours" is the normal condition).
By the way, I have tried something. I had accepted a SoloLearn challenge in 11 June [HTML challenge] and then changed my weapon to another one [JS] after I completed SoloLearn challenge. Until now 17 June (almost 1 week), SoloLearn haven't been challenging me [even though there was no challenge at all from other users].
I never declined any challenge before, but, some of them were expired [as they were too many. I was too tired].
So, it's my guess. If I still don't get any challenge, this SoloLearn bot works with some certain pattern [you may ask Vitya for its complex term].
Therefore, I will try something else, it's interesting {rather than writing a code cc: Vitya :)) }
I will give an update here if any.
NB: your plan is nice :D

Arsenic that makes sense. I decided a lot of challenges from platinum users. I know they are strong for sure and they seek for free kills. I think I should practice even more. One more thing. Alas PHP challenges don't really cover the PHP course here. I also think they are more Math than Web dev oriented.
Thank you very much!

Aji ꦄꦗꦶ a good answer is never late unless it's some life and death emergency 🙂
Thanks for the update. It's a good piece of information about challenges. Looks like SL tries to get people to be involved more just like Vitya said.
Thank you for the compliment 🤗! I don't know what code you're talking about but I'd like to check it out.

I would like to thank everyone for answering my question. PHP challenges are back again 😀👍
Now I can post more code bits with strange output 😂

Aji ꦄꦗꦶ as far as I remember SL challenged me every 48 hours not once a day. After I complete each one I received more challenges from other players. First I ignored them then I decided them but SL still challenged me every 48 hours. Nothing has changed now except for the type of challenges. PHP challenges are replaced with HTML challenges.
My plan was to practice the ambiguous questions in the playground. Some of them are way too difficult for me. I want to understand them better before playing again.

The reason behind sololearn not challanging you in php is because you are constantly declining php challanges. The only fix is to do some challanges with real people.

Dual Core Sololearn send challenge according to your learning progress. If you are leaning Html then Sololearn will send Html Challenge.
Btw Sololearn send Challenge once in a day and I think it is not enough to practice in any language. If you want to learn and gain more knowledge then you need to play with real challengers.
