Say i start my counter at 400. How would i execute a foreach loop that will run backwards until 0?
pseudocode
$i = 400;
foreach(**SOMETHING**)){
//do stuff
$i--;
}

Actualy you answered a question with complex code there is also a for loop. You didnt decrement it but incrementig it everyone should look at it stackoverflow.com/questions/1656731/… This question is in my opinion spam and should be flaggedstreetparade– streetparade2010-01-18 21:44:48 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2010 at 21:44

The question was how to do it with foreach, which is hard enough to do for most people as most answers show.Veger– Veger2010-01-18 22:39:29 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2010 at 22:39

for($i = 400; $i > 0; $i--)
{
// do stuff
}
other ways to do it:
$i = 400;
while($i > 0)
{
// do stuff
$i--;
}
or
$a = range(400, 1);
foreach($a as $i)
{
// do stuff
}

The decrementing while is very nice.
In case you really want to iterate backwards over an existing array you can use array_reverse():
foreach(array_reverse($myArray) as $myArrayElement){
// do stuff with $myArrayElement
}

how about a for loop
for($i = 400; $i > 0; $i--)
{
//stuff
}

foreach is used for iterating over sequences or iterators. If you need a conditional loop then use for or while.
