While Loop

[Banana Man]

Hi,

I dont know the syntax for a while loop that runs while two conditions are met.

i.e.

while ($my_array != array(-1, -1, -1) AND $my_array_2 != array(-1, -1, -1)) {
}

am i using the correct syntax here? I need it to run until both arguments are true.

Thanks

Yes.

Thanks, for some reason it only seems to be running until one of the arguments is true.

If you run this script:

$my_array = array(1, 10, 15);
$my_array_2 = array(1, 10, 15);

while ($my_array != array(-1, -1, -1) AND $my_array_2 != array(-1, -1, -1)) {

$fixture_1 = $my_array[rand(0, 2)];
$fixture_2 = $my_array_2[rand(0, 2)];

echo "fixture 1 = ".$fixture_1."<br>";
echo "fixture 2 = ".$fixture_2."<br><br>";

echo "my array 1-0= ".$my_array[0]."<br>";
echo "my array 1-1 = ".$my_array[1]."<br>";
echo "my array 1-2 = ".$my_array[2]."<br><br>";

echo "my array 2-0= ".$my_array_2[0]."<br>";
echo "my array 2-1 = ".$my_array_2[1]."<br>";
echo "my array 2-2 = ".$my_array_2[2]."<br><br><br>";
echo "-----------------------------------------<br><br>";

if ($fixture_1 == 1) {
$my_array[0] = -1;
}
if ($fixture_1 == 10) {
$my_array[1] = -1;
}
if ($fixture_1 == 15) {
$my_array[2] = -1;
}

if ($fixture_2 == 1) {
$my_array_2[0] = -1;
}
if ($fixture_2 == 10) {
$my_array_2[1] = -1;
}
if ($fixture_2 == 15) {
$my_array_2[2] = -1;
}
}

It runs until one of the arrays have changed to [-1,-1, -1]

So you wanna use OR.

It runs until one of the arrays have changed to [-1,-1, -1]

When one of the array changes to [-1, -1, -1], one of the condition in while structure becomes false and loop terminates.

Thanks, the Or seems to be doing it. Im only a noob learning how to do array
