[SOLVED] Loop Question

[menios]

Hello all

I m new to php programming and a new member also

I ve been trying to write a small script that will generate 1000 books (book 1, book 2,...,book 1000)

now  i want to have a loop that will repeat the alphabet and follow the incrementation.

But instead my code gives me -book 1 author: a,....book 1 author: z, book 2 author: a, book 2 author:z... etc-

And i want the code to produce book1 author: a, book2 author:b and when it reaches Z to start again

Any help would be appresiated

 

 

 

<?php
for ($i=1; $i<=1000;$i++) {
for ($character = 65; $character < 91; $character++) {

print "Book: ".$i." Author: ".chr($character)."</br>";
}
}
?>

Try something like this:

 

<?php
$characterStart = 65;
$characterEnd = 90;
$character = $characterStart;

for ($i=1; $i <= 1000; $i++) {

    print "Book: ".$i." Author: ".chr($character)."</br>";

    $character++;
    if ($character > $characterEnd) {
        $character = $characterStart;
    }
}
?>

Just seeing if you understand why it's doing it the way it is.

 

You have your main loop looping 1000 times, but the inside loop going through the alphabet before it goes to the 2nd value of the first loop.

 

Don't make the inside a for loop, just make it a integer that adds to itself each time the for 1000 loop executes, and starts over when it hits character 91.
