Why is this causing an infinite loop? - .eXe - Jun 29, 2018 I have a MySQLi statement in a function as follows: PHP Code and then a while loop to iterate over all the results: PHP Code It causes the table to just grow infinitely large without actually populating what it should. Having the statements outside the function works fine, however. RE: Why is this causing an infinite loop? - Anxuein - Jun 29, 2018 Because you keep calling the function which is then repeating the query rather than continue. Try adding the _query outside of the function.
