[SOLVED] Looping arrays

[foreverhex]

I don't know if this is possible. It sounds like it should be. Hopefully I can explain, but here I go:

I have an array that is combined with varibles that say either 1 or 0 (true or false). What I want to do if possible, is take that array, everytime the arrays value = 1 ($array[0] = 1) show a script. Which will be a while loop also to handle some mysql arrays.  My main goal is so I don't have to copy paste the while script over and over. Thanks for any help!

To me it sounds like your having a problem cycling through your array.  Is that your main issue?  If so try something like:

 

$arrayCount = count($array);
$X = 0;
while($X <= $arrayCount){
     
     if($array[$X] == 1){
          //Conduct  your test for 1 or 0 here and run your while loop here if satisfied.
     }
     $countX++;

}

That seems like it would work, I see I needed to loops running. And yes I was having problems cycling the array. I'll give it a try and let you know.

You may want to look at the FOREACH function for arrays.

There are a number of ways in PHP to loop through arrays "for","foreach","while" come to mind.

 

"for" example:

<?php
for ($i = 0;$i < count($array);$i++) {
//
//  do the work
//
}
?>

 

"foreach" example:

<?php
foreach ($array as $ind => $val) {
//
//  do the work
//
}
?>

The foreach loop looks cleaner, but I just got the while loop to work that blackcell suggested. I don't want to touch it, it may break, lol. Thanks for all your help!

Copy and paste your code into a new page, then play with foreach, it's nice to know your options.

Yes it is always good for growth and intellectual expansion to copy/paste into a new page and figure out how to do it another way.
