single, double quotes giving me hell

visiblyConfused

I got the following code:

<html>
<tr>
<td><b>Select day:</b></td>
<td width=150 >Day:
<select name="begday">
<option value="">
<?php
$num = 1;
while ($num<32)
{
echo "<option value=\"".$num."\">".$num."\n";
$num++;
}
?>
</select></td>
</tr>
</html>

In my built-in Dzsoft browser this compiles fine and I see a combobox with all the numbers in it, but when I browse it in IE or Mozilla, the first element that gets added to the box is the highlighted part of the code, and just once. I tried single, double quotes no quotes, using and not using the \n to make new lines, and still doesnt work.

scoppc

<?php 
$num = 1; 
while ($num<32) { 
echo "<option value=\"". $num ."\">". $num ."</option>\n"; 
$num++; 
} 
?>

Dont wanna deal with single and double quotes, do this:

<?php
$num=1;
while ($num<32){
?>
<option value="<?php echo $num; ?>"><?php echo $num; ?></option>
<?php
$num++;
}
?>
