```php
";
for ($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++) {
for ($j = 1; $j < 100; $j++) {
for ($k = 1; $k < 100; $k++) {
echo '000000000000000000000
';
echo '000000000000000000000
';
echo '000000000000000000000
';
echo '000000000000000000000

aight, it’s this kind of thing that can really do bad things for bandwith 😉
I once mis-coded a “for” which included a different template, and it made that website load all templates (so you had a template, inside that one anotherone, and anotherone, …) you had 25 lay-outs, and than the text…
Problem was i only found out 11 hours after i put it up, the site had had +/- 500 unique hits by then…
4 gig traffic blown on 1 night :autch:

I had a friend mess up a for loop with a mail() he received over 10,000 emails in the course of a day.

hahahaha 😃
the icing on the cake would be if you did that on a home server and got your net connection suspended for spamming 😛
