I think you have an issue with the line while($d<$s) when it comes to the number 3. $d will NEVER be < $s if $s = 3. I think you want $d<=$s?? Or maybe a switch for the number 3? ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan Kahan <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: php Lists <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 4:30:45 PM Subject: 2 errors I can not understand Hi all, Please see my output below followed by the code.
