[RESOLVED] new to foreach() - one little error

Skaype

	$checkbox_elements = array('feature', 'fashion', 'beauty', 'hair', 'random');*

foreach ($checkbox_elements as $element) {*// THIS IS LINE 72

	if (isset($_POST[$element])) {
 ***
			foreach ($_POST[$element] as $id => $value) {*

			echo "id: " . $id . ", value: " . $value . ".<br />";*

			}*
		}*
	}

The above code is outputting this error, and I cannot see why:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOREACH in /home/pl/public_html/admin.php on line 72

Got it working...

	$array = array('feature', 'fashion', 'beauty', 'hair', 'random');

if (isset($array)) {

	foreach ($array as $category) {

		if (isset($_POST[$category])) {

			foreach ($_POST[$category] as $id => $value) {

				echo "id: " . $id . ", value: " . $value . ".<br />";

				}

			}

		}
	}

Using the if() statement there is pointless - it's obvious that $array is defined, so you might as well just have if(TRUE == TRUE) there instead.

The problem from your snippet above most likely came from the Unicode/non-standard characters. Notice the asterisks in the code? This forum replaces such characters with asterisks, so assuming you didn't type them and they don't appear in your code, that's where your problem was.
