deane Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi guys, I'm new here, and I'm also new at php. I'm teaching myself really, and there are a lot of things that I don't understand yet. My current problem is the following code: <html> <head><title>Print 10 Times</title></head> <body <?php $string = "Look, I'm red then I'm blue!"; // use FOR loop to print the value of $string 10 times for($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) echo "<h1>$string</h1>"; ?> </body> </html> The problem is the echo line (in bold). The first string printed is not the size of h1 while the rest are all in h1. However, if I change it like this echo "<h1><h1>$string</h1><h1>"; then all of them become h1. Why is this? Why do I need 2 <h1> tags? Thanks for your help on this fellas. I'll probably post some more when I hit roadblocks like this during my PHP self-teaching experience. BTW, I'm using WAMP on my PC.

premiso Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Not really a php issue. You are missing the end > on the <body tag. Add that and it should work.

premiso Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 OMG lol, I lost sleep over this. Thanks for clearing that up. I guess being a programmer requires a keen eye It happens to everyone. Just as you get more advanced the stupider the answer is...seriously. It is always the small little stupid thing that makes a script go bad. I've spent countless hours on a problem and the solution ended up being something that was soo simple I should have saw it first. But yea, it still happens to me.
