dont get if loop lol

[redarrow]

Advance thank you, i am currently doing a home virtul couse and dont understand the if statement.

example this is the if concept i thnk correct.
[code]
if(condition)
{
}
[/code]

But i have got lost here please help to exsplain the if code below brocken down, i need to no this part in deatal
for($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++)

within the for condition i = 0 ; then i less then 6 but that dont make sence to me,lol to stop the loop you use i++ meaning add one please help you can see where i am getting stuck the i<6 driving me mad , lol

please exsplain in a real baby terms sorry but getting so confused thats with book cd and internet.

[code]
<?php
for($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++){
echo $i."<br>";
}
?>
[/code]

Basically all waht the code does is the following:

[code]<?php
for($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++){
echo $i."<br>";
}
?>[/code]
Setup a variable called [b]i[/b] and assign a value of 0.
Next we basically say [i]if $i [b]is less than[/b] 6 then increment $i by 1[/i].
The first bit of the code ($i = 0) is only executed once as each time php goes through the loop it will only execute the secound and thrid parts of the for loop.
Now everytime php loops through the loop it'll echo the current value of $i and a line break so you'll get the following result:[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]1
2
3
4
5
6[/quote]
Hope that helps

to put this in english:

i starts at 0 ($i = 0) and while i is less than 6 ($i < 6) increment the value of i by 1 ($i++)

or you could say "increment the value of i by 1 until the value of i is 5, then stop"
