Question

Having the following code:

switch ($options['algorythm'])
{
    case 'jigsaw':
        $result = $this->jigsaw($options['count'], $options['length']);
    break;
    case 'freddy':
        $result = $this->freddy($options['count'], $options['length'], $options['characters']);
    break;
}


for($i=0; $i < $options['count']; $i++)
{
    echo $result."<br/>";
}

How can I execute the function inside $result the times defined in count? Because as for now, it will only repeat the same result that many times.

Answer 1

The simplest way would be to move your switch inside your loop:

for($i=0; $i < $options['count']; $i++)
{
    switch ($options['algorythm'])
    {
        case 'jigsaw':
            $result = $this->jigsaw($options['count'], $options['length']);
        break;
        case 'freddy':
            $result = $this->freddy($options['count'], $options['length'], $options['characters']);
        break;
    }

    echo $result;
}

After that’s working, you can try being clever with call_user_func.
