As a fellow PHP newbie, I had something similar happen. Turns out I forgot to put <? or <?php before my code. It just spewed out the raw code rather than processing it. I can't think of any other reason it would render the closing ?>, assuming your installation is correct.
Oh, wait, shouldn't that first line also be:
"<tr>\n <td align='right'>" . $distance. "</td>\n";
Or even:
"<tr>\n <td align=\"right\">" . $distance. "</td>\n";
HTH,
John

Subject: [thelist] PHP - While Loop
I'm just beginning to learn PHP using PHP and MySQL Web Development by
Luke Welling and Laura Thomson.
I'm up to the Conditionals - While Loop section. I opened an example they
have and it doesn't seem to work on my set up, though it does work if I
upload the file to my server. I have an Apache/PHP 4.2.3/MySQL set up on
my Windows 2000 PC.
Here is the PHP code ...
$distance = 50;
while ($distance <= 250 )
{
echo "<tr>\n <td align='right'>$distance</td>\n";
echo " <td align='right'>". $distance / 10 ."</td>\n</tr>\n";
$distance += 50;
}
And this is the output on my PC ...
Distance Cost
\n\n"; $distance += 50; } ?>
I have no idea why it doesn't work in my testing environment. Is there
something else I need on my system besides Apache/PHP 4.2.3/MySQL?
Is there more information I need to provide to more closely pinpoint the
problem.
I would love for the test environment to work so I don't have to keep
uploading these "learning" files to my web site.
TIA
