<?php

for ($i=1; $i<=100; $i++ {
echo "I must not use PHP to write my lines." ;
}

?>
  </body>
  </html>
 

 

It's throwing up an error saying it expects a ")" on line 16 (the for line) when it's obviously right there!!

Any ideas why this isn't working/

Is the book giving me wrong instructions?

Makes perfect sense. The semicolon is used to delimit the parameters so it only needs to go between the parameters. I have never seen anything like the first example in any language I have used. It is not just a PHP thing.
