PHP Novice question

[Michael Jones]

I m getting a parse error on this snipet of code and I can't understand why:

for ($i=0; i$ < $num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result)
echo $row[1];
}

It doesn't like the for statement, and it doesn't like the echo $row[1];
I am typing it right out of the manual. What am I doing wrong?

Which part of the manual?
What error are you getting?
Which line does it refer to?

One mistake is on the first line:
for ($i=0; i$ < $num_results; $i++)

^^

You mean $i not i$.

(Hm - takes me back to years ago when I was playing with STOS Basic - still
read i$ as 'i' 'string').

Read the manual more carefully. You are missing a ; at the end of the
mysql_fetch_row() line.

Hey, I hope that you come back and read this Michael. You seem like a dorky
new programmer. I am too. I need some PHP buddies. What are you
learning PHP for?
