Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-08 23:29:12] felipe@php.net The construction do..while wasn't used for do make a loop. It's used on example to create a scope, where the rest the code of same scope will not be executed after perfomed a break statement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-08 19:37:07] f dot ach at web dot de I am sorry to answer you back, but a do...while loop simply runs only one time if closed by "while(0);" In c this method works but in php "0" translates to "FALSE". If you do not agree, simply check my example. (I did it 5 minutes ago) Best Friedo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-08 16:30:48] bjori@php.net ..the German translation is however missing some explanations on the example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-08 16:19:45] bjori@php.net To quote the doc: "Don't worry if you don't understand this right away or at all. You can code scripts and even powerful scripts without using this 'feature'." The example is correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-08 14:48:23] f dot ach at web dot de Description: ------------ There is a mistake in the documentation for do...while: Closing the do...while with }while(0); as documented in "http://de2.php.net/manual/de/control-structures.do.while.php" will cause only one run of the loop. Correctly it should be: }while(true); Reproduce code: --------------- $a = 0; do{ echo $a; $a = $a + 1; if ($a>5) break; }while(0) Expected result: ---------------- 0 1 2 3 4 5 Actual result: -------------- 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43787&edit=1
