Is there a way to have multiple instances of 'while'?

[soma56]

I know it's a stupid question however if I had a simple program that did this:

 

<?PHP

//INSTANCE ONE
$i = 1;
while ($i <= 10) {
    echo $i++; 
}

//INSTANCE TWO
$A = 1;
while ($i <= 10) {
    echo $A++; 
}

//INSTANCE THREE
$Z = 1;
while ($i <= 10) {
    echo $z++; 
}

?>

 

What seems to happen is that the program will output each one in order before moving to the next 'while' rather then all at the same time or 'simultaneously' output all three.

 

Just curious if there's another way.

Scripts execute from top to bottom, what exactly do you expect to happen?

For the most part, computers can do nothing simultaneously. Each action comes before the other. What is your desired output?

If you want to output all three at the same time, collect them in a string or look into output buffering via ob_start and ob_get_clean.  And then just echo that one string and viola. If you are wanting it to run all 3 simultaneously, I know of no way to do it other then opening 3 different pages which have 3 different whiles "at the same time".

I just wanted to know if it was possible, that's all. Thank you.
