inconsistencies with for() loops.

Hey everyone,

 

Been a while since I posted.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I've built a couple of for() loops into my program and I'm getting some inconsistent results. 

 

 

The first loop I made was just a simple counter looking like this:

 

<select name="event_name">
<?php
for($x = 1; $x <= 50; $x++){
if($x < 10){
	echo "<option value=\"$x\">Event 0$x:";
	echo "</option>";
}
else{
	echo "<option value=\"$x\">Event $x:";
	echo "</option>";
}
}
?>
</select>

 

This code works perfect.  The 1st entry in my drop down list is event 1, then event 2 etc. 

 

 

now i have basically the same code on the another selection:

 

<select name="date"
<?php

for($x = 1; $x <= 24; $x++){
if($x < 10){
	echo "<option value=\"$x\">0$x:00 EST";
	echo "</option>";
}
else{
	echo "<option value=\"$x\">$x:00 EST";
	echo "</option>";
}
}
?>
</select>

 

however the generated code on this call starts with a result on 2 instead of 1 giving me 02:00 EST instead of 01:00 EST.  I'm sure I could work around this by declaring some additional variables, but i'm just trying to figure out why i'm seeing different results between these two loops? 

 

any thoughts?  thanks in advance for your help

wow i'm a moron.  sorry guys i just answered my own question.  it seems in the <select> statement i forgot to close the braces on the 2nd one.  and that is throwing things off.  sorry i'd delete the post, but i didn't see a delete button.
