Loop question
I need this loop to display the $Year 12 across the page instead of straight down the page as it does now. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any assistance.


PHP Code:
echo "<tr>";

$space = 1;
$Count = 1;
$Year = 1912;
 while ($Year<=2019) {
                echo '<th>';
                echo "$Year";
                echo '</th>';
                if ($Count>11) {   /*Evaluates the number of years/columns for each row*/
                    echo '</tr>';
                    $Count=1;
                    echo '<tr>';
                }  // End of if conditional
                else ++$Count;
                     ++$Year;
     echo "</tr>";

you should have a brace } before the final echo </tr>;

I tried the below and get a syntax error:

PHP Code:
echo "<tr>";

$space = 1;
$Count = 1;
$Year = 1912;
 while ($Year<=2019) {
                echo '<th>';
                echo "$Year";
                echo '</th>';
                if ($Count>11) {   /*Evaluates the number of years/columns for each row*/
                    echo '</tr>';
                    $Count=1;
                    echo '<tr>';
                }  // End of if conditional
                else ++$Count;
                     ++$Year;}
     echo "</tr>";

HI your code has no syntax errors. Just make sure you surround it with the php tags. (also if you get errors it tells you in a more precise manner on what line)

PHP Code:
<?php

echo "<tr>";

$space = 1;
$Count = 1;
$Year = 1912;
while ($Year <= 2019) {
    echo '<th>';
    echo "$Year"; // <--- these quotes are not needed, but do no harm
    echo '</th>';
    if ($Count > 11) { /* Evaluates the number of years/columns for each row */
        echo '</tr>';
        $Count = 1;
        echo '<tr>';
    }  // End of if conditional
    else
        ++$Count;
    ++$Year;
}
echo "</tr>";
?>

PHP Code:
// Begin loading zodiac characters names
$zodiacNames = array(
"Rat", "Ox", "Tiger", "Rabbit", "Dragon", "Snake", "Horse", "Ram", "Monkey", "Rooster", "Dog", "Pig");
// End loading the names array
echo "<table>";
for ($names = 0; $names < 12; ++$names) {
     echo "<td>$zodiacNames[$names] /></td>";
     } 


Thanks for your support. BTW, this is just a snippet of the whole code.

look closely at your code mate:

what is the difference between:
Code:
echo "<td>$zodiacNames[$names] /></td>";

and
Code:
echo "<td>$zodiacNames[$names]</td>";



Careful with those rabbits and tigers btw, they tend to not mix very well

Hi mate,

this undefined variable-error, is probably more specific. Next time post the complete error.

I can also really recommend that you use a decent editor to write your php in. There are some errors in it that would show up directly in pretty much all decent editors out there.
Install (for instance) Netbeans and use that.

The color tags ([COLOR=Red]) are html elements and should be echoed.
PHP Code:
echo '[/color]'; 

All HTML should be echoed.

But there is something very wrong with those [color] tags
Read this: http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/a/bltags_deprctag.htm
Burn the book that thought you this stuff, or never visit the website that thought you this. You are learning it the wrong way. Separate functionality, content and styling

was trying to highlight the line in question in red to make it stand out, so i used the forums color changer and that is what it inserted, not me.

the error $number not being defined as 0. Now the loop runs just doesn't output the names.

AH that explains the use of that stuff, but that is not needed it can only confuse.

Well what is wrong is the index of names.instead of
PHP Code:
 $names = ""; 

make it
PHP Code:
 $names = 0; // index would be a better name 


Just keep in mind that code wont make anything visible because a <td></td> should be inside of a <tr></tr>

$zodiacNames = array(
"Rat", "Ox", "Tiger", "Rabbit", "Dragon", "Snake", "Horse", "Ram", "Monkey", "Rooster", "Dog", "Pig");
// end loading the names array

Mate do you look at your own code or are you just posting stuff and hoping for someone else to think. Look WHat is missing.! (hint 2 endtags which ones are they)
P.s. if you dont see stuf in your browser, right click, view source and have a look.
