when issuing the following syntactically incorrect 'for' statement nothing was returned (note the semi-colon before the parenthesis) even though at least one loop should take place. Should not a parse error be returned?

for ($i = $start; $i <= 10; $i++); {
echo 'something';
}

 './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.22' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-curl' '--with-dom' '--with-zlib'

This is a public/production server so debugging is turned off.

No bug; the code you have here is perfectly valid,
although it contains one of those irritatingly hard-to-catch
typo bugs. The semicolon indicates an empty statement. Your 
code says essentially "For every value of $i from $start up 
to and including 10, do nothing--then echo 'something'".

For instance, the following are equivalent:

  for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {}

...and...

  for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++);


Cheers,

Torben
