for loop not working

[ghornet]

So here I am this morning working on this nice little array problem and it is giving me a lot of grief, I am just wondering what is wrong with my for loop? The variable $i is not incrementing, it stays at 0

if(!empty($name))
{
for ($i=0;$i<count($name);$i++)
{
echo $name = $name[$i];
echo $i;

//$sql = "update students set personal='$personal' where username='$name'";
//echo $sql;
//$update = mysql_query("$sql",$db);
}
}

What value does count($name) come out to?

[ghornet]

It comes out the correct number
for ($i=0;$i<count($name);$i++)
{
echo $name = $name[$i];
echo $i;
}
this echos out the first name in the array and 0

and this echos out 012 why why why
for ($i=0;$i<count($name);$i++)
{
//echo $name = $name[$i];
echo $i;
}

How do you know its coming out to the right number?

try print count($name);

show us the contents of $name

Try this instead:

while(list($k,$v) = @each($name)) {

echo $v // should be the name

// do you sql here

}

As for your problem, you appear to be assigning the variable $name = $name[$1], thereby changing the array to a variable....

echo $name = $name[$i];
