RE: [PHP-DB] Letters loop

[Rob Agar]

hi Miguel

 I wanna a do a for loop with letters, Is this possible?
 
 for ($i = 'A'; $i = 'Z'; $i++){
 // code
 }

you can, but it doesn't do what you think it should do.  Apparently it
gets to Z, restarts with AA, AB, AC etc and continues like that until it
hits YZ. feck knows why :-/

hth (a bit)

RE: [PHP-DB] quotes/private

[Rob Agar]

hi Melanie

 From: mel list_php [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 My question is :
 1/ the normal syntax into the brackets: with , ' or nothing? 
 I think it 
 should be  but I'm unsure.

Single quotes, but check out http://au2.php.net/types.string for details
why :)

 2/it's working with other words wihtout the quotes (eg 
 $ownerId=$row_resultTask[ownerID];)
 is it because private is a reserved word or something? 

yep. PHP interprets any word it doesn't recognise as a constant, which
is why
it worked before.  

if you do this
?php
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
echo something_not_defined;
?

You'll get this:
Notice:  Use of undefined constant something_not_defined - assumed
'something_not_defined'

but if you change something_not_defined to a reserved word like private,
you'll get a parse error as you found. 


 any 
 idea where I 
 could find a list?

I don't know about a list as such, but http://www.php.net/manual/en/
will help.
