PHP while loop problems

Question

I am primarily a CSS and HTML guy but I have recently ventured into PHP.

I can't see why this script hangs:

$loop_Until = 10;

while($i < $loop_Until)
{
    // do some code here
    $loop_Until = $loop_Until + 1;
}

Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

Fixed Code

$loop_Until = 10;
$i = 0;

    while($i < $loop_Until)
    {
        // do some code here
        $i = $i + 1;
    }

Explanation of your code:

// A variable called loop until is set to 10
$loop_Until = 10;  

// While the variable i is less than 10
// NOTE:  i is not set in code snippet, so we have no way of knowing what value it is, if it is greater than 10 it might be infinite
while($i < $loop_Until)
{
    // Increment the 10 value up 1 every time, i never changes!
    $loop_Until = $loop_Until + 1;
}
