Silly function in PHP

[zWaR]

Somebody explain me this please, cause i'm loosing my mind:

function ureditev_tabele($rezultat) {
  echo "<table>";
  while ($i < mysql_num_fields($rezultat)) {
    $ime=mysql_fetch_field($rezultat,$i);
    if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$ime->name])) {
       printf("<tr><td>%s</td></tr>",$ime->name);
    }
    $i++;
    echo "</table>";
}

ureditev_tabele($rezultat);

  echo "<table>";
  while ($i < mysql_num_fields($rezultat)) {
    $ime=mysql_fetch_field($rezultat,$i);
    if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$ime->name])) {
       printf("<tr><td>%s</td></tr>",$ime->name);
    }
    $i++;
    echo "</table>";

Code No.1 doesn't give me no output, but code No. 2 does. Why???????

If code is as is, then you're missing some curly braces. If that is all your code, it shouldn't really work. How would this work?

function ureditev_tabele($rezultat) {
  echo "<table>";
  while ($i < mysql_num_fields($rezultat)) {
    $ime=mysql_fetch_field($rezultat,$i);
    if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$ime->name])) {
       printf("<tr><td>%s</td></tr>",$ime->name);
    }
    $i++;
    echo "</table>";
  }
}

ureditev_tabele($rezultat);

If that is not it, what is actually happening in your code?

PS. Are you from Slovenia?

Nope, the missing brace fell off by copy/paste. And it isn't the whole code no. I've allready deleted the file and am trying to achieve the goal an other way.

Yes i am from SLO, why are you asking?

I am from Slovenia too. I recognized the language and it was funny to me, because I usually don't see it on this forum. Which PHP version are you using? Might be a scope problem. $_POST[] is a superglobal array and if you have a chance to use it I suggest you do.

 

[zWaR]

yeah, i know $_POST is commonly used these days, but it's for a bit older php ver on the servers of the company i'm working at. Hehe, i could imagine, you were suprised. Usualy i change the names to english, for better understanding, but today i just weren't in the right mood. The function made me headacke. But it's over now
