So here I am attempting to generate some numbers to be inserted into a database... eventually they will make up a phone number (Which I've emailed about before and know about the bad ideas with it.. But it's the customer :)) Here is the code I am working with: <?PHP function number_pad($number,$n) { return str_pad((int) $number,$n,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT); } $SQL = "SELECT * FROM Test WHERE areacode = '907' AND prefix = '200' LIMIT 5"; $result = mysql_query($SQL); //$num = "0000"; //foreach ($result as $key => $value) { // echo $key . "-" . $value . "-" . number_pad($num, "4") . "<BR>"; // $num++; //} while ($num != "10000") { while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $padnum = number_pad($num, "4"); echo $row['areacode'] . "-" . $row['prefix'] . "-" . $padnum . "<BR>"; $num++; } } ?> basically all I'm trying to do is generate the last 4 digits starting at 0000 and going up to 9999. for testing purposes I'm just echoing back but will eventually insert the complete number back into the database as a 7 digit string. The error I'm getting is: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/pruimpho/public_html/jason/dev/clients/flewid/Phone/config/phoneareacodes.php on line25 which is where the second while starts... Does anyone know a better way to do this? I'm off to finish searching google while waiting for some good news :) Thanks Everyone! Jason Pruim pruimj@gmail.com
