Question

I am programming an HTML 10×10 table, Each cell with a separate ID and link. It was taking way to long with copying and pasting and changing so I decided to use PHP, using the FOR command which I am not very familiar with.

I am using this code:

<table>
<?php 
for ($r=1, $r<10,$r++) {
;echo "<TR>";
for ($d=1, $d<10,$d++) {
echo "<TR id='d" . $d . "r" . $r . "'><a href='javascript: void(0)' onclick='shoot(" . $d . "," . $r . ")'>SHOOT!</a>";
}
echo "<TD>";
} 
?>
</table>

PHP is saying:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\****\*****\index.php on line 16

i starred out the stuf I do not want you to see.

I am using Windows 7 with XAMPP version 1.7.3

Answer 1

Use a semicolon (;) in your for loop (instead of a comma).

And please indent your code, it makes it a lot easier to read…

Something like this:

for ($r=1; $r<10; $r++) {
    echo "<TR>";
    for ($d=1; $d<10; $d++) {
        echo "<TR id='d".$d."r".$r."'><a href='javascript: void(0)' onclick='"
             ."shoot(".$d.",".$r.")'>SHOOT!</a>";
    }
    echo "<TD>";
}
