So basically I need to use a for loop to print "Hi mate" ten times in a list. How do I do this? I know how to for loop numbers but i have no idea how it works with text strings.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<?php
for (???){
echo "<li>$string</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Any suggestions? It's the first time I'm using PHP so be nice.
Try this:
echo str_repeat("<li>$string</li>",10);
If the for loop scares you, remove the need for it ;)
Just try with:
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
echo "<li>$string</li>";
}
Also you should concider reading http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php
Use "for" with 2 var, first it is $i for loop and second it is $count for stop your loop.
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i<$count; $i++){
echo "<li>$string</li>";
}
?
Try this,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<?php
for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++){
echo "<li>Hi Mate</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
You can add css to get rid of those dots.
Not the shortest way to achieve this, but how i do this as it makes logical sense to me.
As below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<?php
$string = 'Hi mate'; //String ready to print.
$i=1; // Sets value of $i to begin count.
while($i < 10): // Checks $i is still less than 10.
echo "<li>$string</li>";
$i++; //Add 1 to $i to up the count.
endwhile;
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
for($i=1; $i<10; $i++) in expanded and generally unreadable form...
for doesn't make sense in context, whilst while does - so I prefer to use this. Also allows me to adapt $i if required inside the loop.
