Two conditions in a for loop - php

Question

Why does this for loop work with each condition on their own, but together the first condition doesn't matter?
for ($j = 0; $j < 5 or $j < $synCount; $j++)
I only want the loop run five times
or
if synCount is less than this.

Answer 1

You probably mean "$j under 5 and $j under $sysCount", or:
$j < min(5, $sysCount)

Answer 2

very simple
$j < min(5, $sysCount)

Answer 3

You can youse the break statement to leave the for loop :
for ($j = 0; $j < 5 ; $j++)
{
if( $j >= $synCount )
break;
//treatment
}
Or calculate your limit before the loop :
$ max = $synCount < 5 ? $synCount : 5;
for ($j = 0; $j < $synCount ; $j++)
{
//treatment
}
Another solution,quickest : use min() :
for ($j = 0; $j < min(5, $synCount) ; $j++)
{
//treatment
}

Answer 4

Try it like this:
$loopcount = ($syncount < 5) ? $syncount : 5;
for ($j = 0; $j < $loopcount; ++$j) {
}
The first line determines whether $syncount is less than 5 or not and then assigns a value to $loopcount based on that. Then the loop runs the required number of times.

Answer 5

for ($j = 0; $j < ($syncCount <= 5 ? $syncCount : 5); $j++)
or slightly optimized (but I guess with 5 or less iterations this absolutely doesn't matter)
for ($j = 0, $limit = min($syncCount, 5); $j < $limit; $j++)
Anothe nice solutions
foreach (range(0, min($syncCount, 5)) as $j)
Sidenote
$syncCount <= 5 ? $syncCount : 5 == min($syncCount, 5)

Answer 6

$productsprice=ProductPrice::model()->findAllByAttributes(array ('product_id'=>$products_data->product_id));
foreach($productsprice AS $productsprice):
for($quantity = 0; $quantity <= 10; $quantity++)
{
echo '<li >'.array(value=>'ProductPrice::model()->getquantity($data->quantity)').'</li>' ;
}
endforeach;

Answer 7

Two conditions may indeed be applied inside for loop using logical operator. For example check status until it's ok
for($i = 0; $i < 100 && $status != 'ok'; $i++){
sleep(1);
$status = checkStatus();
}
Otherwise you need to use additional if expression with break
for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++){
sleep(1);
$status = checkStatus();
if($status == 'ok') break;
}
