Computes successive rows of Pascal's triangle until one is
found with a term larger than 1000.  That row is printed
and the program stops.

<?php

//--- double loop creates a 2D array ---
//--- $i controls row index 
//--- $j controls column index
//--- $large becomes True as soon as term > 1000 found.
//--- $i-loop stops when $large is True
$pascal = array(array(1));
$large   = False;
for($i=1;  $large==False ;$i++){
  $pascal[$i] = array();
  $count = count($pascal[$i-1])+1;
  $pascal[$i][0]=1;
  for($j=1;$j<$count-1;$j++){
    $pascal[$i][$j] = $pascal[$i-1][$j] + $pascal[$i-1][$j-1];
    if($pascal[$i][$j]>=1000)
       $large = true;

Julia P.  (Edited by D.T.)

Reads a file containing lines with 3 fields describing characters from comic books.
Parses the information from each line in person, type, extra information, and 
displays the contents by listing first the hero or heroes, then the villain or villains,
then the supporting characters. 
Note that the heroes or villains can appear anywhere in the input file.

Typical input:

Wolf, vilain, aka Big Bad Wolf
Little Red Riding Hood, hero, lost in the woods
Firt little pig, hero, builds a house out of straw
Second little pig, hero, builds a house out of sticks
Third little pig, hero, builds a house out of bricks
Snow White, hero, lost in the woods
Prince charming, the prince, rescues damesels in distress
The king, the father of the prince or pricess, totally lost with the task of raising children

Typical output:

<h2>The Heroes: </h2>
<ul><li>The hero is Little Red Riding Hood, known as lost in the woods <br>
<li>The hero is Firt little pig, known as builds a house out of straw <br>
<li>The hero is Second little pig, known as builds a house out of sticks <br>
<li>The hero is Third little pig, known as builds a house out of bricks <br>
<li>The hero is Snow White, known as lost in the woods <br>
</ul><h2>The Vilain: </h2>
<ul><li>The vilain is Wolf, known as aka Big Bad Wolf <br>
</ul><h2>Supporting Characters: </h2>
<ul><li>Prince charming is the the prince, rescues damesels in distress
<li>The king is the the father of the prince or pricess, totally lost with the task of raising children
</ul>
