Do-While (help)

[Griff]

Having a pain in the ass of a time figuring out how to get this to work properly...

 

Goal: have script roll untill it hits a 6 and echo out each result untill it does so.

 

i'm probably just not doing something very simple any help is appreicative been years since i've touched PHP and trying to re-learn.

	do {
		$roll = rand(0,6);
		while ($roll != 6){
			echo "You Lose you Rolled a {$roll}";
			$roll;
		}
		else ($roll = 6) {
			echo "You win you Rolled a {$roll}!";
		}

Set a flag.

 

$rolled = false;

while (!$rolled) {
   $roll = rand(0,6);
   if ($roll == 6) {
      echo 'You rolled a six!  You Win!';
      $rolled=true;
   } else {
      echo "You Lose!  You rolled a $roll";
   }
}

The do-while version:

$rolled = false;

do {
   $roll = rand(0,6);
   if ($roll == 6) {
      echo 'You rolled a six!  You Win!';
      $rolled=true;
   } else {
      echo "You Lose!  You rolled a $roll";
   }
} while ($rolled==false);

Alternate do-while version:

do {
   $roll = rand(0,6);
   if ($roll != 6){
      echo 'You lose!  You rolled a '.$roll;
   }
} while ($roll != 6);

echo 'You rolled a six!  You Win!';
