With the "Concatenating Assignment Operator" I assigned in the loop two variables. I need to get each loop result separately. The problem is that I don’t know why each next loop result is copied to each next loop result.

<?php
$output = "";
$number = "";
$start = 0;
$end = 5;
$array = array();
while($start <= $end) {
$number = $start+=1;
$output .= "1";
$output .= "2";
$array [] = $output;
}
echo json_encode(array (
'output'=>$array,
));
?>
</body>
</html>
Using this code, I get the output:
{"output":["12","1212","121212","12121212","1212121212","121212121212"]}
I’m working on making the output look like this:
{"output":["12","12","12","12","12","12"]}
>Solution :
You are always concatenating values to the $output, you never clear it, so the numbers are just continually added. All you need to do is change the first $output .= "1"; in to a $output = "1"; and that will have the effect of resetting $output to the one character ready to be concatenated with the second.
while($start <= $end) {
$number = $start+=1;
$output = "1"; // changed here
$output .= "2";
$array [] = $output;
}
