Help with for-loop

[thomashw]

I keep getting a "Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded..." on the first line of this code. The $optionvalue array has two values in it.

 

for ( $j = 0; $j <= count( $optionvalue ) - 2; $j + 2 )
{
$name = $optionvalue[ $j ];
$price = $optionvalue [ $j + 1 ];
$options[ $name ] = $price;
}

It looks like your loop is chasing itself to end. Where are you pulling the array option value from?

[thomashw]

It's being populated before the for loop. I printed it and it was populated fine.

 

I figured out the problem. I had to put $j += 2 instead of $j + 2.

 

Is that normal?

Yeah that's normal. You need to change the value of $j to reach the end. $j + 2 doesn't change it.

I think what your meaning to do is:

for ( $j = 0; $j <= count( $optionvalue ) - 2; $j += 2 )

[thomashw]

Woops. I guess I'm so used to using something like $j++ I didn't even think about it.

 

That was dumb of me.
