3/7: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ';' on line 8

Same here, in full screen the output is correct. The small screen inside the editor-environment is giving me a syntax error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting ‘;’ on line 8

  <?php
  for ($lp = 10; $lp <= 100; $lp = $lp + 10)
  {
      echo "<p>$lp</p>";
  }
  
  ?>

When I hit the Save & Submit Code button it won’t do much, no feedback, no red or green. While it’s clearly the right code.

So it must be some bug in the background, but we have problems completing this lesson and so the course. What’s the problem?

Okay, so I got out of the course got back in, my list was being output inside the small preview window, hit the Save & Submit Code button, gave me something on the bracket, so move the first one after the ( ), and then it was accepted.

Oh yeah, I pretty much just started with the lesson, maybe 30 seconds in, now I have that again with 4/7 and I got this message:

The program took too long to finish. Check your code for infinite loops and try again.

There seems to be an issue with the compiler (not sure if that’s the right terminology). Try constructing the code without the “for” statement. Add the “for” at the very end, then hit submit…. That worked for me

e.g. Step 1: <?php // Write your for loop below! ($p=10;$p<=100;$p=$p+10) { echo "<p>$p</p>"; } ?>
Step 2: <?php // Write your for loop below! for ($p=10;$p<=100;$p=$p+10) { echo "<p>$p</p>"; } ?>
