PHP Loop with Counts

I'm needing help with logic on my PHP loop.

So I have user input that comes in the form of a number anything between 18 and 100. They are $agemin and $agemax. Based on their values I dynamically create bit of code. I need some help with the logic. Below is an example.

$agemin = 18;
$agemax = 24;

Not sure which, but need a php loop here I assume

$population .= ' + age'.$ageCount;

Open in new window

My output of $population based on the above example would be:

+ age18 + age19 + age20 + age21 + age22 + age23 + age24

PHP has the range() function that is useful for things like this. No loops needed! You might trim() the data, depending on how you intend to use this string.

Outputs: string(56) " + age18 + age19 + age20 + age21 + age22 + age23 + age24"

$txt = ' + age';
$str = $txt . implode($txt, range(18,24));
var_dump($str);
