While loop

Hi,

I'm trying to create a drop down menu that will show a list of prices. To save me typing thousands of prices I wanted to use a loop to generate the values in the drop down list. Below is the code, when I use this my browser just crashes, what's wrong with this?

print ("<BR><FORM ACTION=\"submitsearch.php\" METHOD=POST>\n");
print ("Select a minimum price:\n");
print ("<SELECT NAME=Minimum><OPTION>Choose One:</OPTION>\n");

$Minimum = 1000;
$Maximum = $Minimum + 54000;

while ($Minimum <= $Maximum) {
print ("<OPTION VALUE=$Minimum>$Minimum</OPTION>\n");
$Minimum+1000;
}
print ("</SELECT>");

Any feedback appreciated.

<?php
print ("<BR><FORM ACTION=\"submitsearch.php\" METHOD=POST>\n"); 
print ("Select a minimum price:\n"); 
print ("<SELECT NAME=Minimum><OPTION>Choose One:</OPTION>\n"); 

$Minimum = 1000; 
$Maximum = $Minimum + 54000; 

while ($Minimum <= $Maximum) { 
print ("<OPTION VALUE=$Minimum>$Minimum</OPTION>\n");
//replaced + with += because + is not an assignment operator and therefor
//didnot update the value of minimum 
$Minimum+=1000; 
} 
print ("</SELECT>");
?>

HI..

I will like ot give a personnel experience here Just Check thousand time before u write a loop In this case u make your loop infinitly execute It is good that your broswer crash otherwise YOu have to wait too long before you can just make your browser crash..

Check spelling and variable names, and loop constructs value before execution otherwise you will be executed by those loop

Bye
