Because the else{} event would start after the while{}-loop ends -> everytime after the last result! think about it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-25 12:16:57] hawkyhawk14 at gmail dot com This is a great idea. I am currently needing something like this, but however got around it using flags and making the flag true in the while. It would be alot more convenient if there was an else! Please add this feature!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-06 16:31:22] absimu at hotmail dot com I agree. I think a while () else () will make things easier. I was researching and found out that it doesnt exist yet. while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { } with al else I would fix it.. I am new in PHP,. I will try to find something to fix it. but if the while else is release in a new version that would be nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-18 01:14:34] ijrbiz at gmail dot com Highly agreed, this request would be very practical for improved coding structure and follows logical language syntax nicely. function remove_items (&$arr, $needle) { while ($key = array_search($needle, $arr)) { unset( $arr[$key] ); } else return false; // No items present return true; // Item(s) removed } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
