  • 0

I’m new to this coding game, but I cannot find my syntax/parse error in this code. The error is saying Line 86 which is the end of the code. I have tried to add brackets, but have not had luck. This is likely a basic question, but I have been struggling with it for awhile so thought I’d shoot it up here to see if I could get some clear guidance and stop just throwing stuff in.

    Your for loop here isn’t being closed properly, I think:

    for ($j = 0; $j < $numresults; $j++)
    {
    if (!($j % 2) == 0)
       {
       $outputDisplay .= "<tr style=\"background-color: #F5DEB3;\">";
    } else {
       $outputDisplay .= "<tr style=\"background-color: white;\">";
    }

$myrowcount++;

    Indenting your code makes it much easier to spot where you’re missing braces.
