Class Properties don't work

[NotSureILikePHP]

I am trying to call something simple like Customer->getID() but it causes things on the page to dissappear. When I try to echo out the ID I get nothing. The class is attached in a file. I am trying to call it with the following code:

$custs = Cust::getCustomers();
$count = count($custs);

<?php
        if ($count) {
            //$custs = Cust::getCustomers();
            $ids= ($errors && is_array($_POST['ids'])) ? $_POST['ids'] : null;
               foreach ($custs as $cust) {
                $id = $cust->id();
                $name = $cust['cust_name'];
                ?>
            <tr id="<?php echo $id; ?>">
                <td width=7px>
                  <input type="checkbox" class="ckb" name="ids[]"
                  value="<?php echo $id; ?>"
                  <?php echo $sel? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?>
                  <?php echo $default? 'disabled="disabled"' : ''; ?> >
                </td>
                <td><?php echo $name; ?></td>
            </tr>
            <?php
            } //end of foreach.
        } ?>

I know the count is 229 because if I add an echo statement after assigning the count I get 229. I have tried getting the properties with

->id()   

->getID()

and

$cust['id']

Please use the code tags in the future, thanks.

Try putting the start PHP mode tag before the calls instead of after them.

do you have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON so that php will help you by reporting and displaying the errors it detects?

[NotSureILikePHP]

That is extremely helpful! And sorry about the tags. I wasn't sure how to tag around html and php at the same time and still make the code readable for people. I figured that might get confusing.

So there are multiple errors but the first one it give me is undefined index

here is line 15:

 

 && $sortOptions[strtolower($_REQUEST['sort'])]) ? strtolower($_REQUEST['sort']) : 'name';  ]

 

the array is set before then on line 7 and it's as follows:

 

[ code $sortOptions=array( 'name' => 'cust_name','contact' => 'contact','phone'=> 'phone_number','address'=> 'address');  ]

 

I'm not sure why it's throwing that error.
 

[ginerjm]

code tags are the word 'code' inside [] to start and [/] to close with your code in between.

It's possible the error is referring to the attempt to read $_REQUEST['sort'] - try

print("<pre>".print_r($_REQUEST, true)."</pre>");

before line 15.

 

Also - and this is more a personal preference, so take it with a grain of salt and all, but don't use $_REQUEST. Variables in the $_REQUEST superglobal can come from $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, or $_COOKIE. Know what data you're looking for and where to find it. If you submit your form using post, check $_POST; if you submit using get, check $_GET.

Which index is it referring to? The one for $_REQUEST...or the one for $sortOptions?

 

To avoid this type of error, you could use isset():

$sort = (isset($_REQUEST['sort']) && isset($sortOptions[strtolower($_REQUEST['sort'])])) ? strtolower($_REQUEST['sort']) : 'name';
