Endless Loop?

[947740]

I am trying to display a list of timestamps from May 19th to August 1st of this year. I convert the starting and ending dates to timestamps and add the value to a variable, adding 86400 seconds, 1 day, to get the next day. For some reason the script times out. I tried changing August 1st to May 20th, but it still times out. Here are the two ways I have tried:

 

EDIT:

$start = strtotime("May 19,2008");

$end = strtotime("August 1, 2008");

 

<?
while ($start <= $end) {
$main_content .= "<br />$start";
$start + 86400;
}
?>

And

<?
for ($start; $start<= $end; $start + 84600) {
$main_content.= "<br />$start";
}

?>

 

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

<?

for ($start; $start<= $end; $start + 84600) {

$main_content.= "<br />$start";

}

 

Set $start equal to something, or leave it out.  I think.  Try:

<?

for (;$start<= $end; $start + 84600) {

$main_content.= "<br />$start";

}

Still not working.

 

<?
$start = strtotime("May 19,2008");
$end = strtotime("August 1, 2008");
$info = $start;
for ($start = $info;$start<= $end; $start + 84600) {
$main_content.= "<br />$start";
}
?>

Echo out $start and $end and tell me what's in them.  I think you used strtotime() incorrectly.

Start: 1211173200 | End: 1211259600

I changed your while loop because you didn't add to $start correctly and it worked for me:

 

$start = strtotime("May 19,2008");

$end = strtotime("August 1, 2008");

while ($start <= $end) {

$main_content .= "<br />$start";

$start += 86400;

}

Wow.  It is amazing how something like that can throw your code off.

 

Thanks a lot. 

 

(By the way, it worked.  )

Lol, no problem. =)

If you still want to use a "for loop" change your code to:

<?php
$start = strtotime("May 19,2008");
$end = strtotime("August 1, 2008");
$info = $start;
for ($start = $info;$start<= $end; $start += 84600) {
$main_content.= "<br />$start";
}
?>

 

or

<?php
$start = strtotime("May 19,2008");
$end = strtotime("August 1, 2008");
tmp = array();
$info = $start;
for ($start = $info;$start<= $end; $start += 84600) {
$tmp[] = $start;
}
$main_content = implode('<br />',$tmp);
echo $main_content;
?>

Thanks.  It still goes back to that darn +=.
