well yes tahts true but now your code runs the if every time doing it extra if amount of typing is in question do it as a function instead
anyway if the ordere is that then you can do
soemthing with $i=0
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
rest of the loop?
//.. code for $i>=0
}
wich is same as you typed
anyway if its oppsite then id do
proc(0)
soemthing with $i=0
for ($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++)
{
proc($i)
}
because it easier to maintain
