Hi, I want the system can loop many time and store the data in database each time I press a submit button.
i.e:

Let say the quantity componet = 100, each have differrent serial number. Then I want the system can loop 100 times and generate continually serial number from the begin number (1st serial number I create then system continue....)and store the records in database. Because I don't need to insert the record one by one until 100 times!!

The problem is how I do it? Please. :(

Thanks in advance,
molly.

you mean something like "do IncrementNumber while NumberHasNotReached100"?

Hmmmmm.............I think something like this.

the loop itself could look like this:
for($counter=0; $counter<100; $counter++)
  {
  functionThatGeneratesSerialNumber();
  functionThatInsertsSerialIntoDatabase();
  }


as you can see, at the start the counter is set to 0, but with every iteration it'll be incremented by one, so after the first run it'll be set to 1, after the second run it'll be 2, and so on until it reaches 100.
for every iteration it'll run the code between the { brackets } .

you can take that loop and just replace the two functions with your own functions or code that does what you want to get done.

it counter start from 1 and until reaches 100... but not like I want.

I want itself can counter start from the number I insert in and reach until the finish number i select. So, it dynamic. I have testing my script, the number can loop itself but I still need press a button many times to store each record in dbase.

PHP language still new for me. So, I almost not using Function in my script. Because I don't know how to use it.

Is it possible to do?

Thanks in advance,
molly.

this here might be more to your liking:

$startAt = aNumberOfYourChoice;
$endAt = anotherNumberOfYourChoice;

for($counter = $startAt; $counter < $endAt; $counter++)
{
codeToGenerateSerial;
codeToAccessDB;
}


the little snippet above should provide you with a means to iterate through the loop without having to press a button for every time it goes to the db.

Hi,
This is my script to create the serial number, but I don't know how to replace it. Can you please help me?

Attach code:
if ($lot_qty < $qty)
{ $s1++ ;
    $qty--;

}
elseif ($lot_qty == $qty)
{
    echo "<br>";
    echo "";
    echo "<b><p><h2>Add Finish!!</h2></p></b>";
    echo " </b>";

}
else
{
    echo "<br>";
    echo "";
    echo "<b><p><h2>Done!</h2></p></b>";
    echo " </b>";
}

Thanks in advance....

well, if that script works to create a serial, then you can just put it inside the for() loop in place of the codeToGenerateSerial; line.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Hi,

Thanks..........
