Simple Question I Think

[rwachowiak]

Lets say I have:

 

$var=5;

 

What would an output look like to get me:

 

1<br>

2<br>

3<br>

4<br>

5<br>

 

Im at a complete loss!

 

 

Thanks!

you are wanting the range function

 

<?php
$var = 5;
foreach(range(1,$var) as $num) {
    echo "$num<br />";
}
?>

Alternatively,  go back to basics with:

 

for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
    echo "$i<br>\n";
}

Just to throw even more anoyingness to this thread:

 

$var = 5;
$i = 1;
while( $i <= $var )
{
    echo $i . "<br />\n";
    $i++;
}

Thanks for the input...

 

 

what im really looking for is this:

 

I have a query that pulls a number from a database...

 

the number will change based on the WHERE clause...

 

and with each different number, i need an output that adds a form input, 1 for each number...

 

so if the variable = 5, there needs to be 5 inputs in the form, if the variable is 3, then 3 inputs in the form... and so on.

 

so would i have something like:

 

<form>
<?php
$var = $Training_Slots;
foreach(range(1,$var) as $num) {
    echo "<input id=\"Slot$num\"><br />";
}

my code is way off, but you get the idea?
?>

That should work..

yup got it! thanks guys!

 

<form id="myForm" method="post">
<?
$username="??";
$password="??";
$database="??";

$id = $_GET['id'];

mysql_connect('hostname',$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM Players WHERE Mugshot='$id'";

$result=mysql_query($query);

$var = $Training_Slots;
foreach(range(1,$var) as $num) {
    echo "Training Slot $num: <select name=\"Slot$num\" id=\"Slot$num\">
    <option value=\"\">Choose Training</option>
    <option value=\"5\">5 SKT</option>
    <option value=\"7\">7 SKT</option>
    <option value=\"9\">9 SKT</option>       
  </select><br>
";
}

?>
<input type="Submit">
</form>
