To write a looping function

manianprasanna

I would like to write a function as below. I would also like to tell one more thing. The statemets inside the looping function is not same in all the case. I can be anything like conditional statements, DB manupulations, etrc....The loop function should take those statements as input and loop it.

case 1:

loop(10) {
    //some set of statements.
}

case 2:

loop(10) {
    //Not the same set of statements as in case 1.
}

I would like to know how to define the function loop to accomlish the functionality.
Any one could help me please..

I can give you a loop example, but I can not guarantee that it will work with your statements in the loop...

<?PHP

function loop($num) {
	for ($i = 1; $i <= $num; $i++) {

  // Your statements

}
}

?>

Can you give a pair of examples with the two differnent cases?

Why not use a standard for loop?

for($i = 0 ; $i < 10 ; $i++) {
}

I think these examples can explain you all more clear.

Example 1:

loop(10) {
    ////MySQL insert statements.
}

Example 2:

loop(10) {
    ////Some simple echo statemets.
}

Example 2:

loop(10) {
    ////Some file manupulations.
}

Please help me...

Look at this...

<?PHP

function case1() {
  // Create function for case 1
  echo "Some text <br>";
}

function case2() {
  // Create function for case 2
}

function loop($num, $getfunction) {
	for ($i = 1; $i <= $num; $i++) {

  // Calls selected function
  $getfunction();
}
}

// Call the loop, number of loops and 
// the name of the function you want 
// to loop over
echo loop(12, "case1");

?>

I LOVE PHP!!! 🙂
