Ok, really easy example of a while loop counter.
The script requires 2 variables:
1) What number to start on?
2) What number to end on?
Take a look...
PHP Code:
<?php
$count_up_to=50;
$count_from=0;
// fix the offset
$count_up_to = $count_up_to - 1;
$i = $count_from;
while ($i <= $count_up_to) {
// increase the current value
$i = $i + 1;
echo "Line : ".$i;
echo "<br />";
}
?>
This gives you (not surprisingly) :
Text Snippet:
Line : 1
Line : 2
Line : 3
Line : 4...
--- I won't list them all. You get the idea.
...Line : 47
Line : 48
Line : 49
Line : 50
This is all fine and dandy, but this is where it all comes together.
Imagine what can be done in that loop! You could automate a number of tasks to run, or maybe put a send mail script in between them. ** don't actually try the mail() thing. Spammers are bad!!
Back in the day when email was relatively un-checked still, I once flooded a friends inbox with 500 emails.
He wasn't impressed :(
