From: Mike Davies on
Hello,

This is my first post to this list and I am a novice at php coding. I
can generally follow the code but not good at writing from scratch.


I have recently been trying to add to a website which was originally
developed by someone else and is written in php and mysql. I am trying
to add a 'news' section to the site. This would be similar to an
existing 'projects' section so, rather than write it completely from
scratch I copied the php and the database tables from the 'project'
section and renamed 'project' to 'news'.


This is working well except for one thing – I get the following error
messages when looking at the detailed news item. This code does not
produce this warning in the project section which is using the same php
code


Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or
object in /home/b23aadf/public_html/news/details.php on line 72

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object
in /home/b23aadf/public_html/news/details.php on line 73


The relevant lines are :


72 reset($thumbsarray);

73 while (list($key, $value) = each($thumbsarray)) {

The site is at www.aadf.co.uk and select 'News'.

Is anyone able to help resolve this? If you let me know what further
information you require I can provide it.

put a var_dump($thumbarray); right here and see what $thumbarray is

A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.
Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Mike,

A couple of things that I could understand reading carefully at the error.

1. reset takes an array as the input and perhaps your $thumbsarray is *not *an
array? Reset will set the internal pointer to the start of the array.

2. Warning # 2 is very closely related to #1 since you can iterate on an
array and not on a variable.

3. Just FYI - You can control the behavior should or not these
warnings/notices/errors in your php.ini file. Do a quick google and you
should be happy to see the result.

Regards,
Shreyas

Note the first error (quoted herein). That tells you that the
variable ($thumbsarray) is not actually an array. How is it being
instantiated and defined?

Well formed question. Thanks for that. I see too many which aren't.

I can't say why it's happening, but the $thumbsarray variable isn't
getting built the way it should. You can insert a line just before your
errors pop up like:

<?php echo '$thumbsarray: '; print_r($thumbsarray); ?>

or

<?php echo '$thumbsarray: '; echo var_dump($thumbsarray); ?>

or something similar. This will tell you if the variable is set and what
type it has. I'm guessing it's not set. You'll have to look earlier to
see where it should be built and isn't.
