Hi all, I'm trying this test script I got out of a SAMS book, and found something strange which isn't consistent with the book. First off, I'm using SuSE-7, with Apache 1.3.14, and the newest PHP4... Here's the (character-for-character) script in the book: (It's to create a simple multiplication table...) <?php
        print "<TABLE BORDER="1">\n";
        for ( $y=1' $y=<=12; $y++ )
        {
        print "<TR>\n";
                for ( $x=1; $x<=12; $x++ )
                        {
                        print "\t<TD>";
                        print ($x*$y);
                        print "</TD>\n";
                        }
                print "</TR>\n";
                }
        print "</TABLE>";
?> When I run this script, I get this error: "Parse error: parse error in /home/bbrennick/public_html/php/nineteenth.php on line 2" Here is the modification I did to the script: <?php
        print "<table border=1>\n";
        for ( $y=1; $y<=12; $y++ )
        {
        print "<TR>\n";
                for ( $x=1; $x<=12; $x++ )
                        {
                        print "\t<TD>";
                        print ($x*$y);
                        print "</TD>\n";
                        }
                print "</TR>\n";
                }
        print "</TABLE>";
?> Once I did that, with line 2, it works fine... My question is: Is that a 'typo' in the book? or is there something freaky going on with my web-server? (apache/php4/etc...) Thanks... - B
