@NogDogFeb 20.2014 — #What are you actually looping on?
Best guess would be that $post['username'] is not the same on each iteration, but there's no way to be sure without seeing the source of those values and whether anything else in the code is messing with them. You could add some error_log() or other debug code to see what's in $post right before that check, as well as any other variables of interest.
foreach loop confusion, condition passing but code doesn’t render?
I have a page where I’m using a foreach loop to cycle through users posts. The code for the text posts are rendering just fine, but what I don’t get is a weird glitch in the video submissions.
here is the code I wrote:
[code=php]
if($post[‘format’]==’vid’){ ?>
<li class=’vid’>
<video class=’post-video’ height=’300′ width=’400′ controls>
<source src='<?php echo $post[‘entry_path’]; ?>’></source>
</video>
<br>Posted by: <?php echo $post[‘username’]; ?>
<?php if(isset($_COOKIE[‘goodact’]) && $u_logged!=$post[‘username’]){ ?>
<form action=’scripts/vote.php?member=<?php echo $post[‘username’]; ?>&logged=<?php echo $u_logged; ?>&page=<?php echo $page; ?>’
method=’post’>
<input type=’hidden’ name=’entry_id’ value='<?php echo $post[‘id’]; ?>’>
<?php if(!in_array($post[‘id’], explode(“,”,$votes))){ ?>
<input type=’submit’ value=’GOOD CATCH!’>
<?php }else{ ?>
YOU VOTED THIS POST A GOOD CATCH.
<?php } ?>
</form>
<?php } ?>
</li>
<?php } //more code
but here is the code rendered in the browser when a user is logged in. Keep in mind the difference between the following two video items:
[CODE]
<li class=”vid”>
<div class=”RDVideoHelper” style=”position: absolute; z-index: -1; display: block;”><object class=”RDVideoObject” type=”application/x-rn-downloaderhtml5videoshim-plugin” src=”http://localhost/goodact/entries/videos/thepulsiphyer/Patterns%20of%20Light%20part%20II.mp4″ width=”400″ height=”300″ data-offsetleft=”143″ data-offsettop=”424″></object></div><video class=”post-video” height=”300″ width=”400″ controls=””>
<source src=”entries/videos/thepulsiphyer/Patterns of Light part II.mp4″>
</video>
<br>Posted by: thepulsiphyer
<input type=”hidden” name=”entry_id” value=”6″>
<input type=”submit” value=”GOOD CATCH!”>
</li>
<li class=”vid”>
<div class=”RDVideoHelper” style=”position: absolute; z-index: -1; display: block;”><object class=”RDVideoObject” type=”application/x-rn-downloaderhtml5videoshim-plugin” src=”http://localhost/goodact/entries/videos/nadiene38/hour%20by%20hour%20lds.org.mp4″ width=”400″ height=”300″ data-offsetleft=”143″ data-offsettop=”787″></object></div><video class=”post-video” height=”300″ width=”400″ controls=””>
<source src=”entries/videos/nadiene38/hour by hour lds.org.mp4″>
</video>
<br>Posted by: nadiene38 <form action=”scripts/vote.php?member=nadiene38&logged=notdross99&page=index” method=”post”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”entry_id” value=”7″>
<input type=”submit” value=”GOOD CATCH!”>
</form>
</li>
what’s wrong with the first list item? why is the form showing up for the second one but not the first? I would think that since the <input> element in the first video appears that means the first if(isset($_COOKIE[‘goodact’]) && $u_logged!=$post[‘username’]) has passed. But since the <form> element didn’t render in the first one, that would mean that initial condition didn’t pass right? the code seems to be contradicting itself here… so confused
