Curious question about while loops

[SirChick]

I have a question about while loops and echo'n the result.

Say you have to have:

 

Hello

 

Hello

 

                      Hello

How can you "while" Do soemtihng like that so that the first hello is above the second but the 3rd one is under the second but also to the far right ?

html or plain text? either way, its about the same, but whether you use HTML line breaks.

[SirChick]

no cos line breaks doesn't make the 3rd output of the while loop go to the right =/

 

Like say i had:

 

while $cheese > 1 do:

Echo hello

echo hello

echo hello

 

but that 3rd one ^ needs to be further to the right...

I don't understand your question... Why would you want to do something like that in a loop? If you had a pattern here I would have understood, but there's no actual pattern. You could solve it with if's of course...

 

<?php

$i = 0;
while($i<3)
{
if($i == 2)
	echo "		Hello";
else
	echo "Hello<br>";
$i++;
}

?>

 

 

Orio.

[BlueSkyIS]

echo "              hello";

[SirChick]

well it was merely an example cos the messages it loads will not just be one under each other some will be to the right and the left.. and i did not know how to do that using a while loop and because there could be many amounts of messages i cant phyiscally hard code in where to echo stuff because if there was more than say 5 and i only put in 4 echo's the 5th one would not appear.

 

 

Try to imagine that the 3rd hello doesnt have spaces, its just in a fixed position on the page.
