Dear PHP Folks,
	I've been using PHP 4.0.0 (and today I downloaded PHP 4.0.1pl2) with Apache 3.1.12 on Windows 98 2nd edition.  I believe I've found a bug in the PHP "for" loop functioning; first I'll give you the bare-bones details

1) I've been working through the PHP Essentials examples; in one example I used the list()/each() in a "while" loop as usual:
	$selectArray = array( "itemID" => "ITEM_ID",
					"itemTitle" => "ITEM_TITLE",
					"itemDescription" => "ITEM_DESCRIPTION",
					"itemPrice" => "ITEM_PRICE" );
	$selectStatement = "SELECT ";
	
	$fieldIndex = 0;
	while ( list( $key, $value ) = each( $HTTP_POST_VARS ) ) {
		if ( ( strtoupper( substr( $key, 0, 4 ) ) == "ITEM" )
			&& ( $value == "on" ) ) {
			$selectStatement .= "$selectArray[$key], ";
			$fieldArray[$fieldIndex] = $selectArray[$key];
			$fieldIndex++;
		}
	}
.
.
.
.
	echo "<p>$selectStatement";

	echo "<p>$fieldArray[0]<br>
		$fieldArray[1]<br>
		$fieldArray[2]<br>
		$fieldArray[3]<br>";

with the expected result of the four field names appearing in both "echo"s.
SELECT ITEM_ID, ITEM_TITLE, ITEM_DESCRIPTION, ITEM_PRICE FROM MY_PRODUCTS ORDER BY ITEM_ID ASC 

ITEM_ID
ITEM_TITLE
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
ITEM_PRICE
*******************************************************************************



*******************************************************************************
2) I decided to change the "while" loop to a "for" loop:
	$selectArray = array( "itemID" => "ITEM_ID",
					"itemTitle" => "ITEM_TITLE",
					"itemDescription" => "ITEM_DESCRIPTION",
					"itemPrice" => "ITEM_PRICE" );
	$selectStatement = "SELECT ";


	for ( $fieldIndex = 0;
		list( $key, $value ) = each( $HTTP_POST_VARS );
		$fieldIndex++ ) {
		if ( ( strtoupper( substr( $key, 0, 4 ) ) == "ITEM" )
			&& ( $value == "on" ) ) {
			$selectStatement .= "$selectArray[$key], ";
			$fieldArray[$fieldIndex] = $selectArray[$key];
		}
	}
.
.
.
.
	echo "<p>$selectStatement";

	echo "<p>$fieldArray[0]<br>
		$fieldArray[1]<br>
		$fieldArray[2]<br>
		$fieldArray[3]<br>";

with the unexpected result in the second "echo".
SELECT ITEM_ID, ITEM_TITLE, ITEM_DESCRIPTION, ITEM_PRICE FROM MY_PRODUCTS ORDER BY ITEM_ID ASC 

ITEM_ID

ITEM_TITLE
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
*******************************************************************************



*******************************************************************************
3) The "for" loop worked when I moved the increment portion down into the body of the loop.
	$selectArray = array( "itemID" => "ITEM_ID",
					"itemTitle" => "ITEM_TITLE",
					"itemDescription" => "ITEM_DESCRIPTION",
					"itemPrice" => "ITEM_PRICE" );
	$selectStatement = "SELECT ";


	for ( $fieldIndex = 0;
		list( $key, $value ) = each( $HTTP_POST_VARS ); ) {
		if ( ( strtoupper( substr( $key, 0, 4 ) ) == "ITEM" )
			&& ( $value == "on" ) ) {
			$selectStatement .= "$selectArray[$key], ";
			$fieldArray[$fieldIndex] = $selectArray[$key];
			$fieldIndex++;
		}
	}
.
.
.
.
	echo "<p>$selectStatement";

	echo "<p>$fieldArray[0]<br>
		$fieldArray[1]<br>
		$fieldArray[2]<br>
		$fieldArray[3]<br>";

backk again with the expected results.
SELECT ITEM_ID, ITEM_TITLE, ITEM_DESCRIPTION, ITEM_PRICE FROM MY_PRODUCTS ORDER BY ITEM_ID ASC 

ITEM_ID
ITEM_TITLE
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
ITEM_PRICE
