Hello everyone my first post in this forum

[cleverlyslick]

what's up php freaks. This is my first post in this forum and I am a newb at PHP(just started reading and toying with php about 2 weeks ago).

 

I've been developing static,boring websites for a year now and want to make them a little more dynamic and a friend of mine recommended me learning php.it's been a nightmare ever since lol but I am hooked on learning this program and would like to conquer it if possible.

 

Currently, I am working on building my first dynamic website and my question is this....

 

I want to use numbers from 200 to 1000 and want to put it in an array. Now I know how to do arrays,but I wanted to know if it's possible to shorten up the numbers in the arrays say for example like $array = array(200-300, 301 - 600, 601-800, 801-1000)and still have each individual number function properly instead of manually having to enter each number in the array without affecting the numbers when a user types it in? say for example a user wants to type 223 and gets the result with no problems.

 

It just seems sloppy coding for me to have to manually enter each number in the array. I hope this post makes sense and hopefully get some responses.

 

Thanks,

Be more specific. Telling us exactly what you want to accomplish will allow us to tell you what the best method will be.

so you want the numbers 200-1000 in a array? dont hand type it thats the manual way use a while loop or for loop

$i=199;
while ($i<1000){
$i++;
$array[$i]=$i;
}

It always pays to browse the documentation first for answers to basic "can php/how to do this in php" questions - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.range.php
