[PHP] problem while loop.
I have a problem while loop that isn't terminating when it's supposed
to. I can't figure out what the problem is, if I run a comparison
inside the while loop it matches as it should, but for some reason the
same comparison isn't working as the while loop expression. I get an
infinite loop when I run this code.
while(strtotime($event_date) = strtotime($end_date)){
# test to see if the loop should of stopped.
if(strtotime($event_date) = strtotime($end_date))
echo GO!!\n;
else echo STOP!!!\n;
/* omitted code that finds the next $event_date */
}

Re: [PHP] problem while loop.
Jeff,
The problem is most likely with incrementing $event_data. It's hard to
say without seeing the rest of the code.

Re: [PHP] problem while loop.
It's all returning proper dates and the proper timestamps when I check
them inside the loop. I'm formatting the dates in -MM-DD format and
strtotime is returning the proper timestamps. I'm curious how can you
say it's a problem with the dates when the if statement comparing the
same expression as the while loop works properly?

Re: [PHP] problem while loop.
Jeff,
Everything you are doing sounds fine, and I don't see any logic problems
with the while loop. However, I really can't extrapolate any further
conclusion without more info. How are you determining that the if
statement is working? As long as this loop is running it should always
echo 'GO!!'.

Re: [PHP] problem while loop.
Well, I found the problem. it wasn't happening where I thought it was.
which brings up another question I'll have to ask in a new subject about
output buffering.
