php integer question

[kokomjolk]

Hello from Maine!

 

I am trying to create a sign that will have the numbers 1-200,000 typed out with spaces in between and found an answer using php that had me plugging this in:

 

<?php

$lowestnum = 1;

$highestnum = 200000;

 

for($i=$lowestnum; $i<=$highestnum; $i++){

echo "$i, ";

}

?>

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it was my own incompetence getting in the way, but I am having a tough time making this happen.

 

Any help? Besides my eternal gratitude I could send a funny video of one of my friends wiping out while covering a news story as thanks.

It would probably help if you told us what it was doing that was not correct, because it works for me (except for the final ", " that would need to be trimmed off.)

If you wanted the numbers with just spaces then take out the comma in "$i, " also were you wanting to somehow further format it as in make columns/rows?

[kokomjolk]

wow, thanks for the quick responses -

 

i am a true neophyte when it comes to all this, (my training wheels still have visible tread)

 

is there any way to walk me through this? i realize you didn't wake up this morning wondering how you could help a complete stranger, so anything would be very much appreciated

 

thanks again

and what i am trying to accomplish is having all the numbers in order with a space in between them, no needs for rows or columns as they will be reformatted to show how many people have been helped by a local charity

Okay well if you want just the numbers with a space between them just take out the comma

 

<?php
$lowestnum = 1;
$highestnum = 200000;

for($i=$lowestnum; $i<=$highestnum; $i++){
echo "$i ";
}
?>

so with this refined version, all i do now is save a webpage, open it with notepad, and replace the existing code with this?

well..yeah but it has to have a somepage.php extension and I am assuming that it's being run on a computer (server, whatever) that has server software like apache installed, as well as the php parser..

we have apache but i am not sure of a php parser (i'd be rolling my eyes too if i were you)

If you can run php on your computer/server you have a php parser.

thanks for all your help, i think i'm too minor leagues to be playing here, but as promised here is my friend and his stealth coverage of a press conference
