This will not work at all.. Instead of switch try with if condition as follows for ($i=0; $i <21; $i++) { if(faq$i == $q){ echo $faq1; break; } } Now it works.. You can write the code to display the result how you want.. but you cant write the code to write a code :) Cheers Warm Regards, Sanjeev http://www.sanchanworld.com http://webdirectory.sanchanworld.com - Submit your website URL http://webhosting.sanchanworld.com - Choose your best web hosting plan -----Original Message----- From: Hulf [mailto:ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 3:11 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: for loop inside a switch Hi, switch ($q) { for ($i=0; $i <21; $i++) { case 'faq$i': echo $faq1; break; } } I just want to loop out a big long list of cases. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
