Hello all.
I'm relatively new to the world of PHP, but I've programmed in C, C++, Rexx, in the
past.
What I'm working on is this and I wanted to clarify some things about how PHP "runs"
I've got a function that contains a form and depending on the entry to the form, which
is
then checked against a database(to avoid duplicates in the list). once a non
duplicate
is determined it advances to the next form for data entry. I had the whole thing in a
while
loop but that was a disaster.
I pass $PHP_SELF to the functions, am I to understand that once the script returns
from
the function it starts executing at the beginning?
While( Not stopping)
{
do first form()
check against database()
if(above check is OK)
do the information form()
if(form entered)
put data into database()
}
as it is structured above it just runs and runs through the first form.
I put a break into the while loop, but the script still seems to run right to the end.
I suppose to phrase another way.
how do I do this
call form
wait there until it is completed
call check
look for duplicate
then if ok
I then commit to database after entereing data
PHP doesn't seem to stop execution and wait for user input. it seems to merrily plug
away.
thanks for any input gang,
Chris
