Infinite loop with forms

[Bates Water Gardens]

I am trying to set up a loop that runs a form until I enter something like the word "quit" in the form field.

 

something like:

 

<?

while ($enteredinfo <> "quit" {

  echo 'form.htm';

  other commands after info is entered;

  }

 

echo "thanks for visiting";

?>

 

How do I keep this from being an infinite loop and still put up a form one at a time until the user prompts a quit?

 

 

I'm not sure if I have given enough info.

 

???

You'll need Javascript for this. PHP runs server-side and has no idea about the contents of a form field until you submit it back to the server.

PHP doesn't quite work like that...It doesn't run until something, it runs until it hits the end of the page, then that's it. To make it do more "stuff" you have to reload the page (or use ajax, blah blah blah).

 

So it wouldn't be while(), it'd be if($entered != 'quit'){

So how would I write it?
