interesting php for loop

for ($i=1; $i<=500; $i++)
{
echo "The number is " . $i . "<br />";
}

well this is for lopp but i want like this output

This number is 1 is Red
This number is 2 is blue
This number is 3 is green
This number is 4 is orange
This number is 5 is Red
This number is 6 is blue
This number is 7 is green
This number is 8 is orange
This number is 9 is Red
This number is 10 is blue
This number is 11 is green
This number is 12 is orange


basically red , blue , green , orange repeating every four times it is brain teaser

 

Along these lines sorry I dont have FTP to test it.

<?php

$refer[1]="red";
$refer[2]="blue";
$refer[3]="Green";
$refer[4]="Orange";


for ($i=0; $i<=500; $i++)
{
$innercount++;
if ($innercount == 5)
{
$innercount=1;
}


echo $refer[$innercount]."<br />";


}

 

what kevinn13 written code is nicely works...

 

There are many php loop.

 

here is an alternative

<?php

$innercount = 1;

for ($i=1; $i<=500; $i++) {

    echo '<p>This number is '.$i;

    switch ($innercount) {
        case 1: echo 'Red'; break;
        case 2: echo 'Blue'; break;
        case 3: echo 'Green'; break;
        case 4: echo 'Orange'; $innercount = 0; break;
    }

    echo '</p>';

    $innercount++;

}
?>
