Hi I have to write a while php script that prints odd numbers between 1 and 49 then convert it into a for statement.
<?php // Script 6.2 - Odd Numbers

// Address error handling.
ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// Print out 31 odd numbers.
for($i = 0;$i < 50;++$i) {
if($i % 2) {
echo "$i is odd!<br />\n";

}
?>

You can't expect us to do your school assignments for you.

You could start by looking at while loops. You want php to run a loop while the value of the investment is less than $1,000,000. In each iteration of the loop, you want php to increase the value of the investment by 15%; and you want to increment a counter which counts the number of times the loop runs.

I think you can figure it yourself from there.
