Hi there :-)

 

You are trying to append to the variable $classes before it has been initialised.

 

Either change the append operators to assignment operators (.= becomes =), or initialise the variable before the start of the switch statement ($classes = ''; ).

 

IMO, the first idea makes more sense as there is no reason to be appending to $classes in this case as it contains no data to begin with.

Problem solved I tried both method worked.

 

1- changing the append operators to assignment operators

 

2- and initializing the variable.

 

I initialized the $classes=''; inside the switch statement and it didn't worked then I tried outside and it did worked. Then I read your post and I realized you stated to initialized before the star switch statement.  hard head thank bro..

 

Problem solved...

 

Hey don't forget to initialise is written with an z  Lol....
