Question

I am writing a loop that is building a table. With a mysql_num_row, I get how many persons (18), and I want tables with 6 persons max (so: $Peoples = (mysql_num_row($SQL_statement) /6;).

In the loop, I increment $Count: $Count = $Count + 1;

When I write:

Do{
  [code]
} while($Count == $Peoples);

The condition is not working: after 1 loop it exits from the loop. I printed $Count wich is 1, and $Peoples is 3.

Is there something to do with this?
Thanks!

Do you mean to use

Do{
  [code]
} while($Count != $Peoples);

(note the inequality check).

The condition is not working: after 1 loop it exits from the loop. I
printed $Count wich is 1, and $Peoples is 3.

== is the equality operator – it checks if both sides are equal.

Your PHP code is operating correctly – you are telling the code to exit when count is different to people. $Count wich is 1, and $Peoples is 3. meets that criteria. The code I’ve posted above will continue looping while count is not equal to people.
