Again thankyou hostfreak. But you had changed my function calling from loop(10) to loop(10, "Please answer me"). First i don't like to have another parameter (your 2[sup]nd[/sup] parameter). And i would like to execute any statements inside the calling loop function. Example 1: [code] loop(10) {     ////MySQL insert statements. } [/code] Example 2: [code] loop(10) {     ////Some simple echo statemets. } [/code] Example 2: [code] loop(10) {     ////Some file manupulations. } [/code] Sorry if i have hurted any body.. Please reply me. [quote author=hostfreak link=topic=107212.msg429820#msg429820 date=1157632212] With my function, you can change what is looped and how many times, for example: [code] <?php function loop($times, $text) { for ($i = 0; $i < $times; $i++) { echo "$text<br />"; } } loop(10, "Please answer me"); //Please answer me - looped 10 times loop(8, "Hello, how are you"); //Hello, how are you - looped 8 times //You could apply statements like: $test = "8"; if ($test == "8") { loop(5, "Test equals 8"); } ?> [/code] [/quote]

Thanks for all those who replied. I would like to tell one more thing. The statemets inside the looping function is not same in all the case. I can be anything like conditional statements, DB manupulations, etrc....The loop function should take those statements as input and loop it. case 1: [code] loop(10) {     //some set of statements. } [/code] case 2: [code] loop(10) {     //Not the same set of statements as in case 1. } [/code]

Yes that's what i would like to know that only., that is how to define the function loop to accomplish the functionality said in my previous post. [quote]Thanks for those who had replied so far, but those are not the answers i want. Because as i already said that i want to looping statment.To explain more clear, see the below code [code] loop(10) {     for($i=0; $i<5; $i++) {         echo 'please help me';     } } [/code] The same loop function should also be able to use like below [code] loop(10) {     if($i==8) {         echo 'please help me';     } } [/code] I think now you all can understand more clear. To accomplish this type of function calling how should i declare the loop function.[/quote]

I would like to write a looping function. for example as below [code] loop(10) {     echo 'Please answer me'; } [/code] So that the above code would print 10 times ''Please answer me''. Actually the code looks similar to for loop, but the above code is not the actual functionality i need. The functionality i need is similar to the above code. So could anyone tell me that whether i can write a looping function. If yes then how? Please help me.
