What is wrong with this while loop?

Why does this loop stop my page from working? without the loop part the code runs fine. With the loop it doesn't execute any of the page and does not print an error.

$i = 0;  
while($i < 10) {

echo '<div class="feedItem">
<div class="itemDetails">
<div class="innerDetails">
<span class="itemType">type</span>
<span class="itemDate">date</span>
</div>
</div>
<span class="itemTitle">test</span>
<span class="itemCreator">by <a href="http://blankit.co.cc">chromedude</a></span>
<div class="itemTagCloud">
<span class="itemSubject">English</span>
<span class="itemTag">Test</span>
<span class="itemTag">Poem</span>
<span class="itemTag">Edgar Allen Poe</span>
</div>
</div>';

}

You should add $i++ at the end of the code, currently $i it's ALWAYS smaller then 10 => infinite loop..

$i = -1;

while (++$i < 10) {
  // your code
  }

or

while ($i < 10) {
  // your code
  $i++;
  }

$i is always less than 10 (equal to 0) since you're never changing its value. If you simply want that block to be printed 10 times, try adding $i++; at the bottom of your loop. This way, it increments $i by one every iteration.

You never increment $i! The loop will never complete. Add $i++ at the end of the loop.

You need to increment $i:

$i = 0;  
while($i < 10) {
    echo '<div class="feedItem">
    <div class="itemDetails">
    <div class="innerDetails">
    <span class="itemType">type</span>
    <span class="itemDate">date</span>
    </div>
    </div>
    <span class="itemTitle">test</span>
    <span class="itemCreator">by <a href="http://blankit.co.cc">chromedude</a></span>
    <div class="itemTagCloud">
    <span class="itemSubject">English</span>
    <span class="itemTag">Test</span>
    <span class="itemTag">Poem</span>
    <span class="itemTag">Edgar Allen Poe</span>
    </div>
    </div>';

    $i++;
}

add $i = $i + 1 before your last bracket.

You don't increment $i inside the loop. This way your condition will always be true and the while loop will never exit.

Add $i++ or $i = $i + 1 just before the closing curly brace and you'll be fine.
