Do While statement

[CageyJ0nnY]

hi guys,

 

This may sound trivial but im new to php and as part of an assignmenti have to construct the 10 green bottles song using the do while statement. I can do the statement but it is itengrating the text (verses of the song ) into the loop.

 

Many thanks

Hi CageyJ0nnY,

 

Could you post the code you're using?  Without that it's difficult for anyone to give a definitive answer.

 

Thanks

Unfortunatley im not at home at the moment, once i get back i can post the code.

 

cheers for taking an interest

my code at the moment is

 

<?php

$counter = 10;

 

echo "There are $counter green bottles sitting on the wall";

 

 

echo" and if one green bottle should accidentley fall there would be $counter green bottles sitting on the wall";

 

?>

not tested, but this should work out

$counter = 10;
do {
echo "There are $counter green bottles sitting on the wall";
$counter--;
echo " and if one green bottle should accidentley fall there would be $counter green bottles sitting on the wall";
}
while ($counter > 0);

$counter = 10 ;

while ($counter > 1 )

{

echo "$counter green bottles";

$counter -- ;

}
