For loop not working

[KempCGDR]

I have the following piece of code :

for ($i = 1; $i == $slashcount; $i++) {
    $extrapath .= "..f";
    echo $extrapath.'<br>'.$i.'<br>';
}

the loop will only execute once when $slashcount starts equal to $i. Any other value (smaller or larger) and the loop doesn't even execute once. I've checked php.net and etc with no luck, can anyone see the problem?

Yes.

It's your use of "==" as the test operator.

The only time the loop can execute is when i$ does, indeed, equal $slashcount. What you have there is the functional equivalent of an if statement.

Generally, the test condition of a for loop is greater than or less than.

Doh, was thinking of that as the statement to get out of the loop. Don't know how I managed that one.
