Title: While, counting iterations
Post by: Biology Forums on January 11, 2018, 01:48:33 PM
Hi, general coding question

I have a while statement that ends with count++. $count = 0 is defined outside the while statement.

Is there a way to place the last counted iteration as a variable? For example, if there are 8001 iterations, we set $last_count as 8001.

If so, how can I accomplish this?

Thanks

It'll be in count... the variable doesn't get unset when you leave the loop, at least in PHP.

So echo'ing $count will give me, theoretically, the last count number of 8001?

You could try it and see what happens...

If you do $count = 0 after the loop, then it'll output 0.

can you post the code you are using?
