This code goes on a infinite loop and gives me a
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
This is the code i am using
<?php
$sofar = 1;
while ($sofar == 1);
{
echo $sofar;
$sofar == $sofar+1;
}
?>

5just a jump start for you why not try echo $sofar == $sofar+1; and see what happens =)KJYe.Name– KJYe.Name2011-01-06 21:23:59 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2011 at 21:23

Your problem is using two equal signs for the increment. Ie $sofar = $sofar + 1 is correct but you have $sofar == instead. Alternatively just $sofar++ or ++$sofar works.
your basically doing
if($sofar == $sofar+1){/*Nothing*/}
so your expression would evaluate to
if(1 == 2){/*nothing*/}
There for $sofar never cahnges, you have to use = to change or set the value of a variable.
your also adding a semi-colon at the end of your while statement, The semicolon signifies the end of a PHP statement.
You should be doing
if( condition )
{
}

Still doesn't work:<?php $sofar = 1; while ($sofar == 1); { echo $sofar; $sofar = $sofar+1; } ?>

Remove the semi colon. from after
while()<?php
$sofar = 1;
while ($sofar == 1)
{
echo $sofar;
$sofar = $sofar+1;
}
?>
You have one = sign too many
And you have an ; after your while.
One = sign assign value Two == signs compare values
You could also use:
$sofar++;
$sofar += 1;
$sofar = $sofar +1;
Or perhaps:
$sofar = 1;
while ($sofar == 1)
{
echo ++$sofar;
}

Yes, definitely, it should be:
$sofar = $sofar + 1
rather than
$sofar == $sofar + 1
The latter one (which you are using) is a conditional statement.

Your using == which is not an assignment operator but a conditional operators.
you should be doing $sofar = $sofar+1; or $sofar++; to increment the value
Comments
== is a comparison operator, not assigment operator (=) so that instruction $sofar == $sofar+1; actually doesn't do anything (it returns false to nowhere).
In other words: $sofar is always 1.

You have a semicolon at the end of your while statement. This is equivalent to
while ($sofar == 1) {
}
and will therefore result in an infinite loop. Also, you are doing a comparison, not an assignment. Your code should look like this:
<?php
$sofar = 1;
while ($sofar == 1)
{
echo $sofar;
$sofar = $sofar+1;
}
?>
Comments
<?php
$sofar = 1;
while ($sofar == 1) {
echo $sofar;
$sofar++;
}
?>
Increment with ++.
