Bug description:  move stuff out of the loop as much as possible

apache_mod_php: move stuff out of the loop as much as 
possible

in this example, CFArrayGetCount() gets executed every 
time it loops:

  for ( index = 0; index < CFArrayGetCount( array ); 
++index )
  {
    value = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex( array, index );
    // do something with value
  }

_if_ the count of array does not change in the loop, 
CFArrayGetCount() only needs to be called once outside 
of the loop:

  count = CFArrayGetCount( array );
  for ( index = 0; index < count; ++index )
  {
    value = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex( array, index );
    // do something with value
  }

% cd ~rc/Updates/Panther/Panther7B85/Projects/
apache_mod_php
% grep -rns "for.*;.*Count(.*;" .

------------ apache_mod_php --------------
./php/ext/fbsql/php_fbsql.c:3512:                       for (i=0; 
i<fbaCount(asInfo->infoLines); i++) {

NOTE: this bug is not about major performance 
improvement, and this bug should be the lowest priority.  
we all know this is a micro optimization and not going 
to make Mac OS X 100x faster if you just move the 
"count" function out of the loop.  but the point is that 
you should never write a loop with unnecessary code in 
it in the first place.  this is just a reminder based on 
something "srcsgrep" found.  please fix whenever you 
have a chance to modify the listed files.  thanks.
