doubt ?

[Anon]

<? if ($a=1;$a<=5;$a++)
?>
<tr> <td><input type=text name="fname"> </td> </tr>
<?
endfor;
?>

While I debug, I am getting error on endfor; Why is it like that

You can't end an IF statement with an ENDFOR.

That syntax may or may not be supported in the future (according to what I've read on www.php.net) You should really use C style control blocks to make it easier for others to read your code and to ensure that in the future your code will still work.

if ($var=="something"){
print "Oh yeah";
} else {
print "Oh no";
}

is much more easy to read to most people, and is easier to remember.

You need to start a "FOR" loop.

change
if ($a=1;$a<=5;$a++)
to
for ($a=1;$a<=5;$a++)

But ya know... that's just going to print out five text boxes, all with the name "fname". So if this is posted to a PHP script, only the value of the 5th textbox will hold true.

Perhaps you meant to try something like:

<input type=text name="fname_<?=$a?>">

That would print the value of your loop incrementor.. giving you
fname_1
fname_2
...
fname_5
