I have a very small script that I need help with. I'm learning PHP, and I can't figure out why this loop won't work. Please help! =]
Here it is: <?PHP $counter = 0; $start = 1; for($start; $start < 11; $start++) { $counter = $counter++; print $counter . "<BR>"; } ?> It DOES work when I do this, however: <?PHP $counter = 0; $start = 1; for($start; $start < 11; $start++) { $counter = $counter + 1; print $counter . "<BR>"; } ?> I bolded the difference between the two. Thank you very much. |

Thank you for the response.
I still have a question, though. Even if $counter is incremented after using it, shouldn't it still add 1 each time, since it's looping? I don't see why it makes a difference whether it's used before or after. |
