note 68189 added to control-structures.for

The previous post from Fatalerror is not correct. Variables enjoy no special treatment inside 'for' statements. At least I was not able to reproduce such a behavior. The code below shows, that the value of $a from loop 1 is still valid outside the scope of it's loop. It can be used without further initialisation for loop 2. So 'while' and 'for' loops are just a matter of taste. <?php echo ("In loop 1: "); for ($a = 0; $a < 3; $a++) echo("$a,"); echo ("\r\nAfter loop 1: a = $a"); echo ("\r\n\r\nIn loop 2: "); for ( ; $a++ < 20; ) { echo ("$a,"); if ($a==10) break; } echo ("\r\nAfter Loop 2: a = $a"); ?> output: In loop 1: 0,1,2, After loop 1: a = 3 In loop 2: 4,5,6,7,8,9,10, After Loop 2: a = 10 Greetings, Tom ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 82.83.69.134 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.for.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68189 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68189 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68189 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
