Switch inside a for loop?

Okay, i want to do something on every iteration of my loop(except every 4th), and i want to do something else on every 4th loop.

PHP Code:

---

        for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($stuff);$i++){
            switch(bcmod($i,4)){
                case '0':
                    echo 'stuff here';
                    return;
                default:
                    echo ord(substr($stuff,$i,1)).'.';
                    return;
            }
            } 


---

But instead, it will echo 'stuff here' and thats all.. any ideas?

you could try

PHP Code:

---


$max = 10;
for( $i = 1; $i < $max; $i++ ) {
     if( $i % 4 == 0 ) {
          // do code here for every fourth ;)
     } else {
          // do your code for all others
     }
}

well, that is what i thought you needed and this is untested code. :) just an idea. ;) hope this helps.

Yeah that probably works, im just trying to remember how to use Switch, so if i were to use it how would i do it?

PHP Code:

---

switch($i%){
                case '0':
                    echo 'stuff here'; 
                    return;
                default:
                    echo ord(substr($stuff,$i,1)).'.';
                    return;
            }

Parse errors though, how do i do it?

what are the errors which line?

PHP Code:

---

                  switch($i){
                case 0:
                    echo 'stuff here'; 
                    break;
                default:
                    echo ord(substr($stuff,$i,1)).'.';
                    break;
            }

how about this one?
return i think will get out of your working function so if you want to continue with the others just use break ;)

well i need to see if it is divisible by another number..so i need the % in there somewhere..i will use break however..messed up the words :S

switch ($i % 4) or something :)
