[SOLVED] More while help

[almightyegg]

I need to echo out the same line of code out (well almost the same) a certain amount of times...

 

I tried this but it didn't work

$i = 1;
while(($i == $lvlgain)){
$i = $i+1;
$ghgh = $i+$mem[level];
echo "Congratulations! You are now level $ghgh and you gained 5 allocation points.<br>";
}

 

I hope you can see what I'm trying to do...if not I can attempt to explain in detail

Well, you have an infinite loop there. If $i equals $lvlgain to start with, then the loop will never end because you make no change to the $lvlgain variable inside the loop. If they aren't equal, then the loop will never run anyway.

 

I cant really suggest what to change as i've no idea what you are trying to do.

Actually, if they start out the same, it will run once because $i is incremented. You might want to use a greater than or less than operator.

for ($i=1; $i <= $loopCnt; $i++) {
  $ghgh = $i+$mem[level];
  echo "Congratulations! You are now level $ghgh and you gained 5 allocation points.<br>";
}

 

$loopCnt being the number of time you wish to echo the statement

I want it to while until $i equals $lvlgain.... does it make more sense now?

[jvrothjr]

while(($i <> $lvlgain)){

Congratulations! You are now level 2 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 3 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 4 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 5 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 6 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 7 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 8 and you gained 5 allocation points.

Congratulations! You are now level 9 and you gained 5 allocation points.

 

Wonderful! Great thanks
