I know a bit of C and Kalle here (whos on the php team) has shown me some useful c source!

Just wondering since I am a .net developer (and I dont have PHP installed)
what would the following C code converted to PHP yield?

Code:

main()
{
	int x = 10;
	while(x) {
		x--;
		printf("X Value: %d\n", x);
	}

	

}

I've attempted to code it to make it easier for you guys to copy and paste:

Code:

<?PHP

$x = 10;
while ($x)
{
$x = $x - 1;
echo $x
}


?>

My question is will the PHP code be stuck in a infinite loop? I ask because C code parses true and false as 1 and 0, and therefore when that "x" value eaches zero, its assumed "false" and the while loop exits
