foreach Using GLOBALS Variable

[digiman999]

Hi peeps,

 

      I have this code here in a function.php file.

 

$row = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM releases"));

$GLOBALS ['releaseids']=$row['id']; global $releaseids;

 

I then try & use this within a function

 

function postcontainer(){

global $releaseids;

foreach ($releaseids as $releaseid){

echo "this is the id";}

}}

 

 

Every time however, I keep getting 

 

 Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in...

 

This still applies too if it isn't put inside or outside of a function.

 

Very grateful

Okay, don't even bother trying to do it that way.

 

Pass the values to the function. Plus, a function shouldn't really echo anything, it should just return the data. You don't need a function to do what you're trying to do, just the foreach() wherever your values are already defined.

 

Stop using global completely. Forget that word exists.
