Code Not Displaying Properly ?

[cdm89]

Hey everyone, sorry this is really simple but i am a big nube!

 

so my class assignment is to create a script that counts to ten and displays which numbers are odd and which numbers are even. I'm almost positive that my code is correct, however the browser just displays my last bit of code starting at the '; to the end of the if/else statement. ...can someone please take a look at this ive been staring at it for days lol i think the problem is incorrect syntax, or maybe i didnt close something somewhere? but from what i can see i have all my closing tags ?

 

 

<php

 

for($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) {

echo 'Iteration: ' . '$x' . '<br />';

}

 

if ($x & 1)

{echo ("odd")};

 

else

{echo ("even")};

?>

You need to move the if statement inside of the for loop.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately this didn't seem to work now the browser just displays '; if ($x & 1) {echo ("odd")}; else {echo ("even")}; } ?>

<?php
for($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) {
  echo 'Iteration: ' . $x . '<br />';
  if ($x & 1) {
    echo ("odd");
  }else {
     echo ("even");
  }
}
?> 

 

The browser just displayed that as you forgot the ? in the <?php, I fixed the code above, if you have questions about it let me know and I or someone else will be glad to assist.

Ah, thanks! The code is working now. The only problem is, instead of displaying numbers it just displays my variable $x ten times

Look closer at the code I posted. Remove the single quotes ( ' ) around the $x part, as I did and it should display the numbers. When variables are used inside of single quotes, it takes it literally and displays $x, if you remove them or change them to Double Quotes (which double quotes would parse the variable) it would / will display the number.
