brain fart with for loops

[guyfromfl]

I am trying to create a loop that increments by .5

 

This just runs forever:

for ($bathrooms=0; $bathrooms<=8; $bathrooms = $bathrooms + .5) {
echo "<option value=\"$bathrooms\">$bathrooms</option>\n";
}

 

Any ideas?

[AyKay47]

for ($bathrooms=0; $bathrooms<=8; $bathrooms += .5) {	
echo "<option value=\"$bathrooms\">$bathrooms</option>\n";}

No, that is perfectly fine and will do what you want.

[guyfromfl]

hmmm it just runs and times out...

 

There must be another issue

AyKay47 had the correct answer.  What output, if any are you getting?  Can you put it on it's OWN page as I am betting that you have other script on the page that is causing issues.

There's nothing wrong with your posted code.

 

Your actual code must be modifying the $bathrooms variable inside of the loop.

[AyKay47]

really what I wrote is just a neater way of writing what the OP had, the way that you wrote it will not cause a timeout...that is normally caused by an infinite loop or something along the sorts...are any errors reported here?

 

edit: also, the newline character that you have in your code "\n" is irrelevant if this is to be parsed as HTML, use a break "<br />" instead

[guyfromfl]

I commented out the loop and its still running forever...

 

There has to be an issue in the script or with the server...gonna restart and comment out all the php until I find the problem.

 

Thanks.

[AyKay47]

if you cannot solve this, post the code and we will help you with this issue..

[guyfromfl]

Thanks AyKay,

 

I restarted the server and is running fine..

 

BTW.. I went with your code convention

The \n is not irrelevant. It causes a newline in the underlying markup itself.

I don't think the code is problem, maybe its because you have too many bathrooms in your house...

i know what it does, it's not needed..but the code is fine with it there as well, was my point

[Pikachu2000]

Then why suggest using a <br> instead? Using \n is the correct way to do what the OP did.

[AyKay47]

if the OP is looking to create a new line and is viewing this as HTML in the browser, which i presume he is, chances are the newline character "\n" will not give him a line break...

which is why i suggested using the html break tag..

[Pikachu2000]

You might want to read the code in the OP again. The \n is being properly used after the <option></option> tags in a <select> field.

[AyKay47]

you got me on this one pikachu, i forgot that it was in a select tag..
