Break while loop and get the count

Question

I'm unable to break the while loop.

<?php $quizsections = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM quiz_sections");
while($quizsectionsrslt = mysql_fetch_array($quizsections)){
    $quizsectionsid        = $quizsectionsrslt['id'];
    $quizsectionsheading   = $quizsectionsrslt['heading'];
    $quizsectionsquizid    = $quizsectionsrslt['quizid'];
    $quizsectionsfirstslot = $quizsectionsrslt['firstslot'];
    echo $quizsectionsheading."<br />";

    $quizslots = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM quiz_slots WHERE `quizid`=$quizsectionsquizid");
    while($quizslotsrslt = mysql_fetch_array($quizslots)){
        $quizslotids = $quizslotsrslt['questionid'];
        $questions = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM question WHERE `id`=$quizslotids");

        while($questionsrslt = mysql_fetch_array($questions)){
            echo $questiontext = $questionsrslt['id']."<br />";
        }
    }
}?>

It is displaying the output like

Aptitude

1 2 3 .... 40

Arithmetic

1 2 3 ... 40

Reasoning

1 2 3 ... 40

Computers

1 2 3 ... 40

But the output i want

Aptitude

1 2 3 ... 10

Arithmetic

11 12 13 ... 25

Reasoning

26 27 28 ... 30

Computers

31 32 33 ... 40

Tables structure

Answer 1

You will want to use LIMIT on the MySQL query to change the output based on the first slot

<?php $quizsections = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM quiz_sections");
while($quizsectionsrslt = mysql_fetch_array($quizsections)){
    $quizsectionsid        = $quizsectionsrslt['id'];
    $quizsectionsheading   = $quizsectionsrslt['heading'];
    $quizsectionsquizid    = $quizsectionsrslt['quizid'];
    $quizsectionsfirstslot = $quizsectionsrslt['firstslot'];
    echo $quizsectionsheading."<br />";

    $quizslots = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM quiz_slots WHERE `quizid`=$quizsectionsquizid LIMIT ".($quizsectionsfirstslot-1).", 10");
    while($quizslotsrslt = mysql_fetch_array($quizslots)){
        $quizslotids = $quizslotsrslt['questionid'];
        $questions = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM question WHERE `id`=$quizslotids");

        while($questionsrslt = mysql_fetch_array($questions)){
            echo $questiontext = $questionsrslt['id']."<br />";
        }
    }
}?>

You can stop executing a loop by adding:

break;

On the line that you want to stop
