Re: BUG in recursion

Hi One way is to use a variable to track the recursion llike this: <? function Test($max){

        static $count = 0;
        static $y = 0;
        $count++;
        $y++;
        echo $count;
        if ($count < $max) {
                        Test($max);
        }
        $y --;
        if($y == 0){
                echo "j";
        }

} test(10); ?> $y will always be 1 as long as it is in recursion only going to 0 on the last one. Tom At 09:59 AM 31/03/2002, Uros Gruber wrote:

Hi! This is a code function Test() {

    $count++;
    echo $count;
    if ($count < 10) {
        Test ();
    }
    echo "j";

} test(); Output is 12345678910jjjjjjjjjj Why is there 10 j at the and. If this would work it can be only one. If $count is grater than 10 it does not call itself but end. Is this maybe a bug or what. -- lp,
