Hi All, this code, <?php $flavour[] = "blue raspberry"; $flavour[] = "root beer"; $flavour[] = "pineapple"; sort($flavour); print_r($flavour); echo "<br>"; echo "My favourite flavours are:<br>";

       //these lines will execute as long as there is a value in $flavour
       echo $currentValue "<br>\n";
    }

?> gives this, *Parse error*: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in */usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sorting.php* on line *18

The echo in the foreach loop has no concatenation operator. echo $currentValue "<br>\n"; should be echo $currentValue."<br>\n";

and adding a , to this line,

      foreach ($flavour, as $currentValue) {

gives this error, *Parse error*: syntax error, unexpected ',' in */usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sorting.php* on line *16* The code in the book I'm following has the , in that line. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.

If the code in the book you're reading really has a , in the foreach line I suggest you throw it away and find another book, because that's not valid PHP. -Stut
