PHP: while (list() = each())

GSHelpBoy

Does anyone know what is wrong with this code:

while (list($tag) = each($GLOBALS['css'])) {
	print($tag . " {\n");
	while (list($property, $value) = each($GLOBALS['css'][$tag])) {
		print(tab() . $property . ": " . $value . ";\n");
	}
	print("}\n");
}

The variable $css is defined, that is not an issue. And this code is being called within a function.

Well, you didn't tell us anything about 'css' or how this is failing. My guess though is you actually want something like this:

while (list($tag,$rest) = each($GLOBALS['css'])) {
    print($tag . " {\n");
    while (list($property, $value) = each($rest)) {
        print(tab() . $property . ": " . $value . ";\n");
    }
    print("}\n");
}

Tell us a bit more about what is happening and the contents of 'css' and maybe we can help...

Where is the output, it would help to know what problem you are getting, rather than "Please guess what is wrong"

$css is an array.

It is in this format:

$css['body']['background-color'] = "#FFFFFF";

I want to see the body tag, print that, and then print all its attributes.

As to the output, that is the problem, there is no output.

foreach($css as $tag=>$attribArray)
{
	echo "$tag {\n";
	foreach($attribArray as $attribName=>$attribData)
		echo tab()."$attribName : $attribData;\n";
	echo "}\n\n";
}

tada!

Just tested your original code - it also seems to work!? Maybe there's something wrong elsewhere in your code?

I frequently experience problems like this.

Code will work, and then I will return at a later time and it won't work.

I am running PHP/Apache locally, so that may affect it, but I don't know why it acts up like this.
