[SOLVED] Whats wrong with this For Loop?

[Mordax Praetorian]

for ($i = $latestyear; $i == 2007; $i = $i - 1){

 

$latestyear is 2008 (tested this) and hence the loop should run once, except it doesn't run at all (varified by echo on the next line)

when the exit condition is removed the loop runs

setting $latestyear to a higher value does not help

 

I believe the problem to be in that line somewhere

You formatted it improperly.  Just use a while statement for that, it's easier.

$olderyear = $latestyear

while ($olderyear >= 2007) {

//do some stuff

if ($olderyear == 2007) {

  //do some stuff

}

$olderyear--;

}

Your loop will only run if $i is equal to to 2007

 

If you only want the for loop to run when $i is greater than or equal to to 2007 then use $i >= 2007 as the arguement
