[RESOLVED] Nested Loops.....

[Ruchi_Bhindwale]

I have this code which is not working although it seems pretty logical to me.

<?php
for($number=0;$number<=3;$number++)
{
echo "Number is ".$number."<br>";
if ( $number == 3 )
{
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
$plus1=$number+$i;
echo "The if statement evaluated to true"."<br>";
echo $plus1."<br>";
}
}

else
	{
		$plus2=$number*10;
		echo "The if statement evaluated to false"."<br>";
		echo "Plus2 is ".$plus2."<br>";
		for($j=0;$j<7;$j++)
		{
			switch($j)
				{
					case 0 :
					echo "j is 0"."<br>";
					$number=$number+$j;
					echo $number."<br>";
					break;
					case 3 :
					echo "j is 3"."<br>";
					$number=$number+$j;
					echo $number."<br>";
					break;
					case 6 :
					echo "j is 6"."<br>";
					$number=$number+$j;
					echo $number."<br>";
					break;
					default:
					echo "j is ".$j."<br>";
				}
		}
}

}

It just prints the cases for $number = 0 .Is there a problem with the nesting? Could anyone suggest what the problem is.Worst case I will try to change the logic.

thanks

In the switch statement you increase $number. When it reaches the outer loop it is already to big, so it won't do a second loop.
