I'm trying to learn php, but by reading books the code always as errors

for example i'm trying to put this code:

<?
$months = array ("January", "February", "March", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
for ($month_number=0; $i<count($months); $i++)
{
	echo $months[$month_number] . "<br>\n" ;
}

?>

and it only display january, I think it shoul display all months and count it.

thanks

You can't change the variable in the middle of the for loop declaration and if this is coppied directly from a book please throw that book away.

<?
$months = array ("January", "February", "March", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
//below is the original followed by the fixed line
//for ($month_number=0; $i<count($months); $i++)
for ($month_number=0; $month_number<count($months); $month_number++)
{
	echo $months[$month_number] . "<br>\n" ;
}

?>

well i think i must buy another book, i try this other code and gives an error:

<?
$people = array (
	"jay" => array (
    	"last_name" => "greenspan",
        "age" => 32
    ),
    "john" => array (
    	"last_name" => "doe",
        "age" => 52
        )
echo $people["john"]["age"]; //prints 52
?>

and the error is this:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ECHO, expecting ')' in

(can it be because the version of my php?)

Hi,

you forgot to close the array:

<?
$people = array (
            "jay" => array (
              "last_name" => "greenspan",
              "age" => 32),
            "john" => array (
              "last_name" => "doe",
              "age" => 52));

echo $people["john"]["age"]; //prints 52
?>
