[PHP-DB] Infinite Loop?
Greetings list members. I've written the code below as part of an automatic email script. The problem with this is it seems to run in to an infinite loop. The for loop seems to get completely ignored by emails get sent constantly. I deleted the script after receiving 2500 emails ! :'( Can anyone point out what the problem with this is? while($tmp = $NowUnix) { for($i=0; $i=2; $i++) { $sendto = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $subject = Test Automatic Email; $message = If you get this then age3.php works $message = If you get this then age3.php works $message = If you get this then age3.php works; mail($sendto, $subject, $message); } } Cheers, Graeme :) -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've seen no way to get out of the while loop. Tony S. Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nope, this world ain't perfect. But at least I know it's not because of me.

Re: [PHP-DB] Infinite Loop?
Ah right, I thought that once the while loop condition is true it would execute the for loop then quit once the for loop had reached its condition. But really, whats happening is the while loop is continuing to run the for loop and then run through the while loop again. Ok I've got it now. Thanks for your advice.
