im REALLY sorry...

[kiqyou_vf]

feel free to slap me in the face on this one... but... i cant figure
out why this wont work. its acting like its an infinate loop, no
errors, just wont load. ugh

<?php
while (!empty($row_QC BD_test['test'])){
print $row_QCBD_test['test'];
}

?>

im a tool.

Re: im REALLY sorry...

meaby becaus it's realy empty =]

If you still want infinate loop so mutch consider using isset instead
of empty

You are checking whether $row_QCBD_test['test'] is empty or not.
Whatever it is, it will still be the same next time round the loop. You
need something in there to change the state of $row_QCBD_test['test']
other wise the loop will have no reason to end.

e.g
$x=0;
while($x<10){
print $x;
$x++;
}
//prints 0123456789

So, if $row_QCBD_test['test'] is not empty, what should
prevent the loop from executing ad infinitum? I don't see anything
to stop it. If nothing stops the loop, the loop will execute
indefinitely.

Re: im REALLY sorry...

Ohhhhh, I gotcha I gotcha. Ok, so $row_QCBD_test['test'] is an array
correct? Can I print out each row in $row_QCBD_test['test'] using a
while loop? I cant figure out what I'm missing. How about I do
something like

while ($rows_returned > 0)
print $row_QCBD_test['test']

Would that work?

I'm going to go play with this thing for the 3rd straight day, thanks
for your help.

No. 'While' requires something to change each time round. The bit in
brackets is a test for truth. In this case it would always be true and
hence the loop would be infinite.

I'm assuming you are querying a database? Normally there will be a
function which returns a new row (and hence true) each time it is
called. If it were MySQL you'd do something like:

$sql="SELECT * FROM table";
$result=mysql_q uery($sql);
while($myrow=my sql_fetch_array ($result)){
print $myrow['field1'].",".$myrow['field2']; //etc, etc
}

When there are no more rows, mysql_fetch_arr ay($result) returns false
and the loop stops.

<?

while (!empty($row_QC BD_test['test'])){
print $row_QCBD_test['test'];
}

Output:

Again, where is the terminating condition? How do you expect
$rows_returned to eventually drop down to 0 and terminate the loop?
The loop will continue executing for as long as $rows_returned> 0.
You haven't done much programming, have you? May be a course
in programming would be in order? Someone should teach you how
to write a program. Generally speaking, that's not always simple.

Try:

<?
$row_QCBD_test['test']="Still Not Empty...\n";

while (!$row_QCBD_tes t['test'])){
print $row_QCBD_test['test'];
$row_QCBD_test = mysql_fetch_ass oc(the_result_v ariable_of_your _query);
}
