annoying for loop error 2

[fortytwo]

Hi, I have this for loop and it is looping three times:
[tt]
for ($i = 0, $i <= $noinsection, $i++)
{
print $i;
}[/tt]

even though $noinsection is 1. $i prints as 1 each time.

Anyone got any ideas?

You're using commas where you should be using semicolons. Try this instead:

for ($i = 0; $i <= $noinsection; $i++)
{
[tab]print $i;
}

Hi, Thanks for that. I guess because I didn't get an internal server error I thought the error lay elsewhere.

One thing, how did the first code section only run three times then exit?

I think perl uses your for-head as a list. The list

($i = 0, $i <= $noinsection, $i++)

has three elements and is evaluated before entering the loop. $i is set to 0 and incremented at last resulting to 1. The loop iterates 3 times because the list has 3 elements. The current value of $i (1) is printed.
