Question

In my PHP I am having problems with a loop. It should be writing from lower to higher but it is writing from higher to lower. Here is my code extremely cut down.

Variables equal these at first.

$high = 5
$number = 10

Loop

for ($i=$high; $i<=$number; $i++)
  {

  if (file_exists("blog/" . $i . ".txt")) {
    echo "The file $i.txt exists <br />";
}else{
    echo "This file $i.txt doesnt exist <br />";
}

  }

The output goes like this

5
6
7
8
9
10

But shouldn’t it go like this? This is what I need.

10
9
8
7
6
5

Answer 1

you should decrement your $i and change stop condition.

$heigh = 10;
$number = 5;

     for ($i=$high; $i>=$number; $i--) {

        }
