For loop containing HTML

JWest46088

I am trying to write a form loop that displays a text box however many times the user wants. For example, if the user enters 4, 4 text boxes will show up.

Here is the code I have now for the for loop:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
for($i = 1; $i <= $elements; $i++)

{

        print "Enter number $i: <br>";

        print "<input type="text">";

}

I get this error:

Bareword found where operator expected at assignment4.pl line 127, near ""(displays a textbox here)"" syntax error at assignment4.pl line 127, near ""(displays a textbox here)

Thanks in advance!

can't have double-quotes in a double-quoted string:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

print "<input type="text">";

you have to escape them:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

print "<input type=\"text\">";

better yet use the qq{} operator with your double-quoted strings:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

print qq{<input type="text">};

or q{} since what you really have is a single-quoted construct:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

print q{<input type="text">};
