[SOLVED] Continously looping while statements

[wejofost]

I have a HTML form with a series of 7 check boxes that have been passed to a php page where for each of the check boxes "ticked" I wish to increment a total by a different value depending on the check box ticked.

I have a test page ( code below ) which proves that the check boxes have been ticked and I am using a 'while' statement to check if the box has been ticked and if so increment a total.

PROBLEM is that the while statement runs continously when true.  I expected it to go through once and then step on to the next  statement but it loops for ever!.

After a successful while statement ( that is the condition is true ) do I have to 'disable' the value ( make the condition false )?

Help!

<?php
$newline = "<br>";
echo " Start of Living Room Selection. " ;
echo $newline;
echo " Total so far ";
$lrtotal = 25000;
echo $lrtotal;
echo $newline;
echo "Switch value = ";
echo ($_POST['option1']);
echo $newline;
echo ($_POST['option2']);
echo $newline;
echo ($_POST['option3']);
echo $newline;
echo ($_POST['option4']);
echo $newline;
echo ($_POST['option5']);
echo $newline;
echo ($_POST['option6']);
echo $newline;
echo ($_POST['option7']);
echo $newline;
$TwoSeaterSofa = 1.00;
$ThreeSeaterSofa = 9.00;
echo "Twoseater literal is ";
echo $TwoSeaterSofa;
echo $newline;
echo "Threeseater literal is ";
echo $ThreeSeaterSofa;
echo $newline;

while (($_POST['option1'])== true)
    {echo ($_POST['option1']);
 $lrtotal = $lrtotal + $TwoSeaterSofa;
 echo $lrtotal;
 echo $newline;
     }
while (($_POST['option2'])== true)
    {echo ($_POST['option2']);
 $lrtotal = $lrtotal + $ThreeSeaterSofa;
 echo $lrtotal;
 echo $newline;
      }

// 5 more while statementsfor $_POST [option3 to 7 ] in here.



echo " Total for living room ";
echo $lrtotal;
echo $newline;
?>

You'll want to use a foreach.

 

<?php

foreach ($_POST['option1'] as $opt) {
  echo $opt;
  $lrtotal += $TwoSeaterSofa;
  echo $lrtotal;
  echo $newline;
}

?>

O.K.  Thank you.

Now working OK.
