perl to php code change?

[deras]

how would i get the following perl code to work in php?

@x=($m1,$m2,$m3);
$n=1;
foreach $v(@x){
$var="md".$n;
if($v > 90 ){$$var ="||||||||||||||||||||||";}
elsif($v >80 ){$$var ="||||||||||||||||||||";}
elsif($v > 70 ){$$var ="||||||||||||||||||";}
elsif($v > 60 ){$$var ="||||||||||||||||";}
elsif($v > 50 ){$$var ="||||||||||||||";}
elsif($v > 40 ){$$var ="||||||||||||";}
elsif($v > 30 ){$$var ="||||||||||";}
elsif($v > 20 ){$$var ="||||||";}
elsif($v > 10 ){$$var ="||||";}
elsif($v > 0 ){$$var ="||";}
$n++;
  }

Hi,

try something like this:

<?PHP
$m1 = 100;
$m2 = 65;
$m3 = 5;

$x = array($m1,$m2,$m3);
$arrRepeat = array(1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11);
$n = 1;


foreach ($x as $v) {
  // variable name
  $var = "md".$n;

  // shorter than if..else, repeat || num times
  $num = floor($v/10) > 9 ? 9 : floor($v/10);

  // the following line doesn't do it because
  // there is a bigger step between 20 and 30
  // so we use $arrRepeat instead
  //${$var} = str_repeat("||",$num+1);
  ${$var} = str_repeat("||",$arrRepeat[$num]);
  $n++;
}

// print the values
echo $md1."-".$md2."-".$md3."<br>\n";
?>
