 Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2007 8:26 am Post subject: PHP 5 causing looping problems? |
 |
|
I used alot of different popular php written scripts for my webpages and over time and sometimes right away, im gettin a looping page problem. Like on phpbb it wont let me get to the admin page, and with other programs the sign-on page starts looping with i tried to sign into it. So i stopped using alot of the stuff that i wanted to use because of this looping problem me and others are having.
I was wondering if its possible that its a setting i got to change in my php5 pre-package script to fix this problem? or maybe its the MySQL 5.0 thats causing problems?
I got the latest version of Abyss
MySQL 5.0
PHP 5
not all my webpages have this problem tho. its weird because out of all the help i got nobody can seem to find the problem. i dont wanna degrade anything, but if i have to do that to get things to work correctly then i will.
Thanks

Hello pookie,
If you don't properly write the conditional within a loop, it will loop on forever or display an error about the memory usage running out.
Example:
| Code: | <?php
for ($n=0; $n < 10; $n--)
{
echo "This will loop on forever because it will always be less than 10.<br />";
}
?>
|
The proper way.
| Code: |
<?php
for ($n=0; $n < 10; $n++)
{
echo "This will loop 10 times before it stops.<br />";
}
?>
|
You should always make sure your condition works before using a loop or it will loop on forever. In example one, I forgot to increase the value of $n each time it loops around. Since I failed to do so, the condition looped forever because I decreased the value of $n instead of increase it. |

i didnt write any of the php coding for my xoops program, or inside of my php.ini file. so maybe its some kind of bug inside of the programs php writting itself since i found out alot of others are having the same problem with pages looping when they're not suppose to.

| You should contact the person that wrote the code and tell them about it. Be sure to include the Full PHP Version your using (5.2.1 etc.). |

well right now its to the point where it cant be anything wrong with the program im using because i installed a different program today and i got a page on there that loops also. it doesn't do anything but refreshes the page when a user tries to sign in. so im guessing its something thats on my system, or my whole network at that since im getting the same errors from my laptop when i visit the site. Im just stuck right now.
