Re: newbie: why doesn't this work?

just at a quick glance I see a couple things I would try changing at the end of your "for" loop you have a closing brace but I don't see an opening brace anywhere, that should throw things. Also in the conditions of your "for" loop you have "++$count" which I haven't really seen before. Would the standard "$count++" be better?
