parse error, expecting `T_STRING' in alternating colors script

[AshleyQuick]

This is throwing that parse error. Is there a misuse or ' or "?

<?php 
for ($cnt=0;$cnt<=$count-1;$cnt++){ 
$row_color = ($cnt % 2) ? 'class="white"' : 'class="grey"'; 
$id = $cnt + 1; 
$display_date = date("F j, Y",$farray[mod][$cnt]); 
echo<<<EOB; 
<tr> 
   <td $row_color><strong>$id</strong></td> 
   <td $row_color>&nbsp; $farray['descr'][$cnt]</td>                
   <td $row_color align="center">$farray['counter'][$cnt]</td> 
   <td $row_color>$display_date</td> 
</tr>   
EOB 
; 
?>

not really enough of the script to go on there, Ashley.

Here are a few things i'd change:

- at the end (the EOB), move the semicolon up to the same line
- the line calling the display_date.....is 'mod' a constant? If not, and it's a variable, then it needs a $. if not a variable, but something like $farray['descr'], then it needs to be quoted.
- I would change the row color line to read

$row_color = ($cnt % 2) ? "class=\"white\"" : "class=\"grey\""; 

It is difficult to troubleshoot scripts like this without all the code. Why?

Because I can't copy the code and try to test it... I have no clue what $count or $farray are!


please enclose your code with the [ php ] and [ /php ] tags for legibility.
