Yeah, I really did muck it up with the semicolon, didn't I? Haha. At least I'll remember my semicolons from now on. :D

About the 'if' statement, ah. Lol. I think the fact that it is in the same chapter as the 'while loop' probably made me think it could do a loop-type function.

I'll definitely look into all of the stuff that you guys have posted. It's nice to have some "guidance" of sorts on where to go and look for something, especially because no one I know knows this language. I've been stuck with books and google, which isn't always the best thing. And from now on all code posted by me shall include strict and warnings. :D As for the question name, I'll remember that next time, too. It's literally in my notes.

Again, sorry for the muck up about the code, and it definitely won't happen again.
