You can even do (keeping all the loop-related stuff within the for( )
construct):

   for ($i=0, $count=count($choices); $i < $count; $i++)

Cheers!

This is bad.  Every time the for() loop iterates, the count() function
gets called again unnecessarily.  Better to do:

$count = count( $choices );
for ($i=0; $i < $count; $i++)

Variables can contain numbers, but the first character after the $
must not be one.

Variable names cannot start with a digit.

$distoffice0405 is kosher.
$0405distoffice is not.

[PHP] PARSE ERROR, unexpected T_$VARIABLE

2004-12-06 Thread Robert Sossomon 
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in 
c:\fourh\leadership\registration_post.php on line 29

The HTML page:
http://rsossam-lap.ces.ncsu.edu/leadership/registration2.php
The processing Script


$fname= $_POST[fname];
$lname= $_POST[lname];
$addie= $_POST[addie];
$city= $_POST[city];
$state= $_POST[state];
$zip= $_POST[zip];
$county= $_POST[county];
$dphone= $_POST[dphone];
$ephone= $_POST[ephone];
$email= $_POST[email];
$first_conf= $_POST[first_conf];
$payment= $_POST[payment];
$PreConference= $_POST['PreConference'];
$Conference= $_POST['Conference'];
$choices = $_POST['choice'];
array_splice($choices,4);
$j=1;
for ($i=0; $i < count($choices); $i++)
{
 $value = $choices[$i];
 $tempChoice = "choice" . $j;
 $$tempChoice = $value;
 $j++;
}
$0405distoffice= $_POST['04_05_dist_office'];  //line29
$0506distoffice= $_POST['05_06_dist_office'];
$former= $_POST[former];
$achieve= $_POST[achieve];
?>

I pulled out the iterations above that line of code and tested it separately. 
Everything worked OK, so I copied it into the rest of the PHP processing.

This thing is driving me bonkers.  Any suggestions?
