[SOLVED] Loop Help

[Sleeper]

How could I take the folowing code and cause it to loop the entire section up to said number of time? There are fields such as

$t1

$t1a

a1

$a1

a1fc

 

that would have to chagne to 2's insteas of ones on each a thru g.

for($i=0;$i<10;$i+2){

//put anything you wanna loop in here

//change 0 and 10 to whatever you want and reference $i anywhere you need to

}

is that what u mean?

[Catfish]

if you want to loop that *entire* page out up to a said number of times, you would just put it all in a for () loop as explained in the post above.

 

I don't know about changing the variable *names* with an incrementing value, but I think someone else on here would if you wait long enough. I've never needed to have an incrementing value in a variable name before so that's why I know nothing about it, I'm sure there is a section in the php manual on it but I do think I've briefly looked over it before.

[benjaminbeazy]

if you want to change the name of the variable itself, use a variable variable

 

ie

for($i=0;$i<10;$i++){
$name = 'a'.$i;

$$name = 'wjatever';

}

echo $a9;

outputs "wjatever"

Wel this is actuly a row in a table. And its for a timehsheet generator. but differnt radio sites will have a differnt amount of shifts threw out the day. So I will need this to repeat depending on how many shifts they set up in the config.

 

So for the var them selfs should I set them up as somthing like..

 

$t[1]

$t[1]a

$a[1]

 

Then I could just put in the $1 in the loop. That part im not sure about is now cause I have loops inside of there if I put the { at the beginging and the } at the end of the row will that cuase any issues for the other loops that are inside of the larger loop. And will somthing like $t[1]a work?

[Sleeper]

ok Im half way there but im confused about how to put a loop call inside a loop right now I have...

 

<?php
for ( $i = 1; $i <= $numbers; $i += 1) {
echo "<tr><td width=\"65\" align=\"center\" height=\"40\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><font class=\"time\">$t[$i]</font><br><font class=\"time\">$ta[$i]</font></td>
<td bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\" align=\"center\" width=\"94\"><div align=\"center\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\"><tr><td>
<p align=\"center\">
<select size=\"1\" onchange=\"fcs()\" name=\"a$i\" >
<option selected value=\"$a[$i]\">$a[$i]</option>
<option>----------</option>
<?php
for ( $counter = 1; $counter <= $number; $counter += 1) {
echo \"<option value=\"$djname[$counter]\">$djname[$counter]</option>\";
}
?>
</select></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"afc[1]\" value=\"\" ></td></tr></table></div></td>
";}?>

 

But the problum is that the loop inside the loop comes out looking like this when the page loads.

 

<?php

for (  = 1;  <= 35;  += 1) {

echo "<option value=""></option>";

}

?>

What do I do to make this work?

Look again.... you have put the loop *INSIDE* of your 'echo' call. You have to terminate the echo call, perform the loop to echo the changing data and then echo any additional HTML after the loop.

 

Simple mistake to make - hard for you to find if you don't think about it.

TYVM makes sence after you say it..lol.
