I just do not know where my error is occuring or why teh script doesn't work but I thought maybe somone who's had sleep in teh past 16 hours might be able to spot it out.

There's a form, you input words. You can seperate them with commas and then count the number of unique words (Or spaces I could have done spaces) or you can see how many premutations (letter combos) each one has. Letter combos worked fine but unique word counting failed miserably.


<?php

if(isset($_POST['action'])){

if(
$_POST['action'] == "preM"){

 if(isset(
$_POST['msg'])){


 
$string $_POST['msg'];
 
$characters strlen($string);
 
$char$characters-1;

 while(
$char>0)
 {
 
$characters $characters*($char);
 
//echo("$char\n");
 //echo("........".$characters."\n");
 
$char = ($char-1) ;

 }
 echo(
"There are $characters Different Combinations of the letters in  '$msg' ");
 echo(
"<br>Premutations: $characters ");
 
$characters1 $characters/6;
 echo(
"<br>3 letter combos: $characters1 ");
 }
}elseif(
$_POST['action'] =="Grade"){
       
      if(!empty(
$_POST['msg'])){
        
$message $_POST['msg'];
        
$array explode(",",$message);
         
$container = array("test");
         
$ii 0;
         
$loops count($array);
         while(
$ii<$loops){
         
$word $array[$ii]; 
         if(!
preg_match("/$word/i","$container")){
         
$container[$ii] = $word;
         
$ii++;
          }
         }
        }                
       } 

}
if(isset(
$container)){
$iii 0;
$size count($container);
while(
$iii>$size){
$echo $container[$iii];
echo(
"$echo\n");
$iii++;
}
}
//echo($size);
?>

<form action="<?echo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>" method='post'>
<table align='center' border='2' bordercolor='black'>

dest

while($iii>$size){
$echo = $container[$iii];
echo("$echo\n");
$iii++;
}

as long as $iii is greater than $size to begin with, it'll keep going and going and going
meh :P

but . . . .$iii was smaller than $size, it always is because $iii is Zero and size is never less than 1. ? ? ? ?

Although you did find the error, it should say $iii<$size. Thanks... maybe I can fix it.
