Display X images based on a number

[slyte33]

Basically I'd like to show 5 images within 2 lines; example:

 

$images = 5;

echo "<img src=>";

 

$images is set to 5, so echo the image 5 times

 

I don't exactly need it for this approach, but the answer to it is all I need

 

I thought foreach works, but I'm not sure how to do it.

All help is appreciated, thanks

i'm confused at what you are trying to do... will a simple for loop work for you?

 

for($i=1;$i<=$images;i++) {echo "<img src=>";}

I'm unsure what this does and tried using it and got:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_INC, expecting ')' in /home/content/54/4743054/html/tbattle_findings.php on line 186

 

But from looking at it.. I see this is probably exactly what i'm looking for, just theres errors.

Is $images set like an integer or is it set with quotes like a string?

 

also i left out a $ in the i++ should be $i++

for is a loop that will basically loop and increment a variable for you:

 

$images = 5;
for ($i=1;$i<=$images;$i++) {echo "<img src=>";}

 

There is a corrected version of the code. Basically it sets $i equal to 1 at the beginning and while $i <= $images (5) execute the code in the brackets, after executing increment $i by one and go back through the check....Hopefully I explained that process right lol.

 

The correction to the original code as putting $ before the i++

Ahh I see, it works fine, thank you

 

Also, this would mean I could do this:

 

echo "Image #$i<br>";

 

or

 

if ($i == 5)

{

echo "This is image number 5";

}

 

 

Thank you very much
