Is there any way to do in php what for does, differently? An alternative method for example, but with the same result you would get when using for .
Example of using for :
for($contador = 0; $contador < 10; $contador++)
{
echo "O contador agora é: $contador";
}
If it exists, how and what would these ways be?
I do not understand the question well, but if the idea is to have 1 to 10, or from 1 to 100, or from 50 to 200, always based on numbers and incrementing then you can simply use range() of PHP itself , example:
$foo = range(1, 10);
print_r($foo);
Then you can use with foreach or even implode , examples:
foreach (range(1, 10) as $contador) {
echo "O contador agora é: {$contador}.";
}
$foo = range(1, 10);
$baz = 'O contador agora é: ';
echo $baz . implode('. ' . $baz, $foo) . '.';
The range() function of PHP does not generate only numerical array, for example if you do something like:
range('a', 'e');
This will generate an array like this:
array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');
And you can do the reverse as well:
range('z', 'a');
This will generate an array like this:
array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');
That will generate an array like this:
Array
(
[0] => z
[1] => y
[2] => x
[3] => w
[4] => v
[5] => u
[6] => t
[7] => s
[8] => r
[9] => q
[10] => p
)
That is, range works for numbers and letters and you can reverse the order.
You can get the same result using the while with a counter and a condition that would be used in for , as follows:
$contador = 0;
while($contador < 10) {
echo "O contador agora é: " . $contador . "";
$contador++;
}
Technically, in some pre-compiled languages,% for command is converted to a% while following this command structure above. Anyway, it is still an option.
