No idea what the problem is

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

Hi

I know my title doesn't give any information but I really have no idea what my problem is. The problem I have is that for some reason my code just stopped working, it was working fine in the beginning and then all of a sudden I'm getting undifined index: item, and I'm not sure what it was that I did wrong since it was working fine in the beginning.

Can someone please help because this has me confused

Thank you

Right away I see your semicolon outside of the PHP tags. If that don't fix it, then you'll have to wait on someone else 'cause I'm off to bed.

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

nope it didn't work

Buddski · October 11, 2011

This line

var selected_vid = <?php echo $this->_params['item']['id'] ?>;

should be

var selected_vid = <?php echo $this->_params['item']['id']; ?>;

That is assuming that $this->_params['item']['id'] is not a string.

When you say you are getting "undefined index" which line does that relate to in the code you have posted..

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

It's in listings.php

<div id="main_vid_title">
		<h2><?php echo $this->_params['item']['name'] ?></h2>
	</div>
	<div id="youtube" class="youtube">
	<?php
	$this->display_youtube($this->_params['item']['embed_code'], 443, 270);
	?>
	</div>
	<div id="main_vid_description" class="info"><?php echo $this->_params['item']['description'] ?></div>

It's these lines

Buddski · October 11, 2011

The error is not occurring on this line?

var selected_vid = <?php echo $this->_params['item']['id']; ?>;

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

the web page doesn't give me any errors on that line

Buddski · October 11, 2011

Do a var_dump($this); before and after the

$videos_model = new videos_model('videos');
$videos = $videos_model -> get_all();

I am guessing that the code above is somehow responsible.

ZulfadlyAshBurn · October 11, 2011

turn error reporting on.

<?php
// error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');   
?>

did you get any errors?

Buddski · October 11, 2011

He has already stated that he has received errors.

ZulfadlyAshBurn · October 11, 2011

he should post the whole error code so we would know where the problem lies in.

ZulfadlyAshBurn · October 11, 2011

<div id="main_vid_title">
		<h2><?php echo $this->_params['item']['name'] ?></h2>
	</div>
	<div id="youtube" class="youtube">
	<?php
//arent you suppose to echo the line below?
	echo $this->display_youtube($this->_params['item']['embed_code'], 443, 270);
	?>
	</div>
	<div id="main_vid_description" class="info"><?php echo $this->_params['item']['description'] ?></div>

arent you suppose to echo that line?

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

Buddski I did what you ask and it gave me a huge thing. Where would I look. I wanted to show you but it tells me that I exceeded the maximum allowed length

Buddski · October 11, 2011

Sorry, maybe just do var_dump($this->_params); Should give you less output.

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

This is what the var_dump($this->_params) showed me:

array(1) { ["site"]=> array(3) { ["id"]=> string(1) "4" ["name"]=> string(10) "HighLiving" ["industries"]=> array(3) { [29]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(2) "29" ["name"]=> string(3) "Spa" ["created"]=> string(10) "1317997663" ["modified"]=> string(10) "1317997663" } [30]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(2) "30" ["name"]=> string(7) "Message" ["created"]=> string(10) "1317997868" ["modified"]=> string(10) "1317997868" } [31]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(2) "31" ["name"]=> string(5) "Sniff" ["created"]=> string(10) "1317997935" ["modified"]=> string(10) "1317997935" } } } }

Buddski · October 11, 2011

Is that before or after

$videos_model = new videos_model('videos');
$videos = $videos_model -> get_all();

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

before

$videos_model = new videos_model('videos');
$videos = $videos_model -> get_all();

I also tried print_r($this->_params['item']['embed_code']);

and it gave me null.

Which I found strange because it was working fine yesterday afternoon

Buddski · October 11, 2011

It looks like, from the array of params you posted, that item isnt being defined as an index of that array, which asks the question, why did it not error on the first line?!

You will have go look deeper into your classes and find where _params is being set, and go from there.

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

I have _params['item'] in majority of my classes. In my video_controller class the $this->_params['item'] = $video

these are the other _params in the video_controller class

if(!empty($id)){

		$this->_params['item'] = $this->_model->get($id);

	}elseif(isset($this->_params['list'][0])){

		$this->_params['item'] = $this->_model->get($this->_params['list'][0]['id']);
	}

Buddski · October 11, 2011

Is listing.php just a normal (not inside a class) PHP page that calls the videos_model?

Edit: no that cant be right, because var_dump($this) displayed results.. Which class are you using to call/load/include listing.php

cerberus478 · October 11, 2011

yep listings.php is the view side

cerberus478 · October 12, 2011

Buddski just letting you know I found the problem and it was the most idiotic thing ever on my part. But thanks for helping
