Out of memory

[dad00]

Hi,

 

I keep getting this error

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 72876032) (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in ****/spinner.php on line 12

 

heres the loop that im using

$offset=0;
$i=1;
$position2=0;
$continue=true;
$splitted[1]= 1;

do{

$offset=$position2 + 1;

$splitted[$i]=$offset; // LINE 12 HERE <----


if (in_array($offset, $splitted, true)) {
    $continue=false;
}else{
$position1= stripos($_POST['text'],"{",$offset);
$position2= stripos($_POST['text'],"}",$offset);
$position3= $position2 - $position1;
$split = substr($_POST['text'], $position1, $position3);
$split = substr($split, 1); 
$splitted[$i]=$offset;
echo $i."  ".$split."<br>".$offsetlog[$i]."<br> <br>";
}
$i++;
}while ($continue=true);

 

I know it probably isnt very well coded, but does anyone know how to solve my error?

it looks like you have an infinite loop there matey...

 

the conditional the breaks the loop is probably never evaluating as true.

yeah, but i cant work out where in the code it is going wrong. i cant see any problems :S

just add a break:

 

if (in_array($offset, $splitted, true)) {
    $continue=false;
    break;
}

yay, it works now. thanks!

problem is, you don't know how do-while works.

 

the reason your code is bumming out is because with a do-while, the do{} always executes one time no matter the condition (while()).  therefore, your code was executing that one time regardless of the conditions, then coming back and looping again, now with $i having incremented to 2 making your

 

if (in_array($offset, $splitted, true)) {
    $continue=false;
}

 

return false (as a function), causing the forever loop as $offset will then never find itself in $splitted, since every value of $splitted array is 1, always, forever, never changes.

 

EDIT: i think.  i may have just confused myself.  but unless you're comfortable with do-while loops, just use a simple while/for/foreach.
