[To write a looping function]

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.

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]

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]

[To write a looping function]

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.
