Bash for loop error

Question

I have a script in bash what take from LocLog a ip from collumn 8 :

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(cat /scripts/logs/LocLog | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq); 
do 
    php /scripts/a.php $i; 
done

The script give an error:

bash -x log
'og: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `
'og: line 2: `for i in $(cat /scripts/logs/LocLog | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq);

Any ideeas?

Useless use of cat (and probably uniq): awk '{print $8}' /scripts/logs/LocLog | sort -u — chepner

Get rid of the semicolon at the end of the for line.
