Build a basic PHP website

The workspaces do not work when previewed in browser at creating and displaying function. Hopefully @Alena_Holligan can shed some light on this issue. Do you know how to tag her in this and how to show a display pick

Let me clearify the workspaces are not working. When previewed you get this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'foreach' (T_FOREACH) in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php on line 17 The problem starts at "Creating and displaying function"

Hi John, can you link your workspace or post your code here, from the error it sounds like their may be a syntax error in your foreach loop.

Hi Alena Holligan Taking a quick look at the workspace I have found 4 typos causing the workspace not to work as John describes.

in functions.php

On line 4

    .$item["img] . "' alt'"

should be:

    .$item["img"] . "' alt'"

On line 7

    ."</a></li>';

should be:

    ."</a></li>";

in index.php:

On line 16

$random = array_rand($catalog, 4)

should be:

$random = array_rand($catalog, 4);

in catalog.php:

On line 2

include("inc/fucntions.php");

should be:

include("inc/functions.php");

John Lukacs nothing you have done wrong, just some minor typo errors in the workspace that need to be fixed, thankyou for alerting us to the problem :)

Warning: include(): Failed opening 'inc/fucntions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /home/treehouse/workspace/catalog.php on line 2

and Fatal error: Call to undefined function array_category() in /home/treehouse/workspace/catalog.php on line 30

Hi John Lukacs

If you could take a "snapshot" of your workspace (upper right hand corner) and share a link here, that would be most useful.

Also which video did you start this workspace on?

I haven't changed a thing In workspaces I simply open up workspaces from videos like "Random fun with arrays" or "creating the display function. " I then view in browser and all I get back is a error message. I tried going threw the lesson but I still recieve an error message from line 17 the foreach loop I took a snap shot but I not sure how to share. https://w.trhou.se/uum869s0pa

!~~~ html <?php function get_item_html($id, $item){ $output = "<li><a href='#'><img src'" .$item["img"] . "' alt'" .$item["title"]."' />" . "<p>View Details</p>" ."</a></li>"; return $output; }

This is where the function runs to get the image do this look right to you?

Try this for the function

function get_item_html($id, $item){
  $output =  "<li><a href='#'><img src='"
    . $item["img"] . "' alt'"
    . $item["title"]."' />"
    . "<p>View Details</p>"
    . "</a></li>";
  return $output;
}
