Very frustrating Parse error on Html table creation, using time().

[karlectomy]

Can anyone find the parse error on the fourth line of this stuff??

<table><tr>
<td>Date</td>
<?
var $thisDate = time(); //NOW
var $day1 = (7*3600); //One more day
for($i = 7; $i>=0; $i--)
{
$d = $thisDate-($i*$day1);
?>
<td><? echo(date('m-d', $d)); ?></td>
<?
}
?>
</tr></table>
 

Its very frustrating!

Hi Karl.

Try changing <? to <?php.

The former is a the short (lazy) version and needs to be enabled in order to work. It is disabled by default.

Edit:
And of course I totally missed the JavaScript like 'var' in front of your variables. Remove them and all will be fine.

Changed thread title to... ah, more accurately describe the problem.

Hey atli,

Thanks for the help. I figured it out before i read your post. It was the second thing. I've been programming in actionscript and got confused about variable declaration...
