There is also the until loop. Exactly the same that while loop but the test is negated. Some times improves readability.

Code:
until [[ "${month}" = "q" ]]
do
    printf "Please, enter a month (q to quit): "
    read month
    
    if [[ "${month}" = "q" ]]
    then
          printf "Bye-bye!\n"
    elif [[ "${month}" = "January" ]]
    then
          ...
    else
          printf "%s does not exist in the Western Calendar\n" "${month}"
    fi
done

OCI_FETCH_ASSOC(3)														OCI_FETCH_ASSOC(3)

oci_fetch_assoc - Returns the next row from a query as an associative array

SYNOPSIS
array oci_fetch_assoc (resource $statement) DESCRIPTION
Returns an associative array containing the next result-set row of a query. Each array entry corresponds to a column of the row. This function is typically called in a loop until it returns FALSE, indicating no more rows exist. Calling oci_fetch_assoc(3) is identical to calling oci_fetch_array(3) with OCI_ASSOC + OCI_RETURN_NULLS. PARAMETERS
o $statement -A valid OCI8 statement identifier created by oci_parse(3) and executed by oci_execute(3), or a REF CURSOR statement identifier. RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array. If there are no more rows in the $statement then FALSE is returned. EXAMPLES
Example #1 oci_fetch_assoc(3) Example <?php $conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE'); if (!$conn) { $e = oci_error(); trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR); } $stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT department_id, department_name FROM departments'); oci_execute($stid); while (($row = oci_fetch_assoc($stid)) != false) { echo $row['DEPARTMENT_ID'] . " " . $row['DEPARTMENT_NAME'] . "<br> "; } oci_free_statement($stid); oci_close($conn); ?> NOTES
Note See oci_fetch_array(3) for more examples of fetching rows. SEE ALSO
oci_fetch(3), oci_fetch_all(3), oci_fetch_array(3), oci_fetch_object(3), oci_fetch_row(3). PHP Documentation Group OCI_FETCH_ASSOC(3)
