Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php It is not a loop, but a control block. It should end after one pass (thus while false). Please read the paragraph before the example again. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-22 15:18:04] pb at tdcspace dot dk Description: ------------ manual bug (up to latest rel. at 12 aug 2006) : Chapter 16. Control Structures do-while -------- a do-while example loop is shown (the man. ex. below) which should be endless by using "while (0);" where (0) indicates a false condition. note: the endless condition is used to illustrate the "break" statement to exit the loop instead. the loop will terminate at once with while(0) - the correct syntax is while (1) or while(true) to make a endless loop. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php do { if ($i < 5) { echo "i is not big enough"; break; } $i *= $factor; if ($i < $minimum_limit) { break; } echo "i is ok"; /* process i */ } while (0); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38547&edit=1
