[SOLVED] Numbering within a loop

[almightyegg]

How can I make it auto number something in a while loop like:

while($jnfw){

echo "[AUTO NUMBER]. $jnfw[blah]";

}

 

That would show:

1. SOme value

2. Some value

3. Some value

etc...

 

I know I'm asking for a lot of help today but I'm trying to push my project forward

 

Any help is greatly received and thanks in advance

would:

while($jnfw){
echo rand() . $jnfw[blah];
}

work?

[almightyegg]

nope, no joy

[hitman6003]

would:

while($jnfw){
echo rand() . $jnfw[blah];
}

work?

 

Would put a random number before each entry...I think he wants a sequential number...

 

$i = 0;
while($jnfw){
  echo ++$i . $jnfw[blah];
}

[almightyegg]

$i = 0;
while($jnfw){
  echo ++$i . $jnfw[blah];
}

 

echo "<td>++$i . $clutch[name]</td><td>$clutch[id]</td>";

 

all that does is:

++0 . Group Name

++0 . Group Name2

etc...  ???

 

and I did put the $i = 0; in and before the while starts.

I don't think php will parse the increment operator when it's inside of quotes...

 

echo "<td>" . $i++ . " " . $clutch[name] . "</td><td>" . $clutch[id] . "</td>";

[almightyegg]

Ohh! It works! Although it starts at 0...do I just change $i = 1; to make it start from one?

[papaface]

yes

Cheers all done with that thanks
