Playing With Php...

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Well, after spending 5 minutes of reading PHP, I've decided to try a bit of programming in it(MUDs are fun, and almost profitable if you have no life!)...

 

 

<?
$hello = "y hal0 thar world!<br> this will loop forever!";
$numbar = 1;

while($number != 0)
{
echo $hello;
}
?>

 

 

So, can somebody test it for me and see if it'll work ?

[markiemrboo]

If you'd like some sort of ftp account on me little server so you can test it feel free to PM me

 

But from looking, looks like it'll work. You wouldn't get any output because, well, it'd loop forever and the page would just timeout. A better test might be a loop with a stop condition so the webpage will eventually be output to the browser

Ahh, dang them bottlenecks that ruin me from having my spamified fun!

 

 

Ah well, good to hear that I got it right the first time. You'll be getting a PM later today .

don't you have an old box lying arond that you could set up apache and php or whatever on? that would work.

took me forever to realise the looping thing first time

haha! infinite loops are the enemy I used to be great at making unintended infinite loops

 

EDIT: Oh and he could probably set up apache and PHP on Windows (with a few headaches)... but you all know you want an account on the super amazing briefcase computer in my cupboard really

[suchuwato]

you use the briefcase as a server? that's cool.

[markiemrboo]

lol yes, it replaced the 133MHz beast sitting there before (and the picture of the briefcase in my sig... that's it's 'stats' beside it)

[suchuwato]

cool. when i get my net connection on permanantly i'll prolly get my server running FreeBSD - so there will be a lot of PMs heading your way

[Nerm]

yea infinite loops can be fun. hehe

well, we use the net on more than one computer at home, and only have a couple of usb modems, but my dad's getting a modem/router in a couple of days

[markiemrboo]

Oh right! I hate USB modems They're all so cheap and skanky
