Not entirely sure what that script is meant to do, but pretty sure it should be while(1) [not while(0)] Here's a perhaps clearer example which repeatedly multiple a number by 0.2 until it becomes less than 5. <?php $i = 1000000; $factor = 0.2; do { echo "i = $i. "; if ($i < 5) { echo "i is not big enough"; break; } else { echo "i is ok<br>"; } /* process i */ $i *= $factor; } while (1); ?> This outputs i = 1000000. i is ok i = 200000. i is ok i = 40000. i is ok i = 8000. i is ok i = 1600. i is ok i = 320. i is ok i = 64. i is ok i = 12.8. i is ok i = 2.56. i is not big enough ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 82.21.198.141 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.do.while.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73591 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73591 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73591 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
