[SOLVED] Interesting While Loop Keeps Timing Out.

[DamienRoche]

So I just got into while loops and have constructed this beast:

 

$e1fname = "text";             ///////////$e2fname etc. etc.
$e1sname = "";                                  ""         ""
$e1passport = "text";                          ""         ""

$loop = "1";
$limit = "3";
$Y = "0";
$N = "0";
while ($loop <= $limit){

$fb = "e".$loop."fname";
$sb = "e".$loop."sname";
$pb = "e".$loop."passport";
$cb = "e".$loop."check";

if($cb!=""){
if($fb!="" && $sb!="" && $pb!=""){
$Y = $Y + 1;}else{$N = $N + 1;}
}

}

if($N > 0) {echo "The while loop returned an N";}

 

The problem here is that the loop is timing out when it should only run it 3 times? is it because of the nested if statements? What is best practice here? or have I missed something, yet again?

 

Thanks.

You need to increment $loop. You don't need the talking marks around numbers either.

OMG I cannot believe I did not increment the loop. I can only code for so long before ALL of my problem solving skills are washed away with the last bit of coffee in my mug.

 

Thank you again!!
