Is there a limit here?

Anon

Howdy,

Is there some kind of limit in php for the number of loops that can be completed. I have some simple scripts that loop about 80+ times and display html drop down boxes. When they do though, it really messes up the screen. Are there limits to this that I missed for loops?

Confused,
Hiccup

NO there are no limits to loops, but the problem probably lies with the 80+ drop down boxes. That is a lot of form elements for one page.

Might not be your problem right here, but remember that there is something like a "maximum execution time" directive...

Just a thought, when I saw your question :

Have you tried to make a string with all the HTML-code needed for these DD-boxes and then printing the final string? Like this :

<?php
$output = "";
for($x=0; $x<100; $x++) {
$output .= "dropdownbox nr. $x<br>\n";
}
echo $output;
?>

I'm not sure if it would speed up the process of making and showing all those DD-boxes, but you could give it a try.

Oh, and 80 or more form-elements are a lot of elements I think!
