#42535 [NEW]: repeat() loop

From: kenaniah at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: repeat() loop Description: ------------ Granted, you can replicate this by using while($i=0;$i<$times;$i++){ //code here } but that defeats the doctrine of simplicity... Is a language construct such as repeat($times){ //code here } really that much to ask for? My proposal: <b><i>void </i>repeat (<i>$times</i>, <i>[&$counter]</i>)</b> where counter is a reference to a variable that will be incremented upon each iteration. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42535&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42535&r=mysqlcfg
