Duplicate php code but different result displayed ?

[CtrlAltDel]

HI All, Im having real trouble trying to solve this problem.

in my page i have "<!-- START of RECENT Babies -->" section, which displays just fine.

In a nutshell, i have copied and pasted it again into the same page "<!-- START of RECENT Babies 2 -->

 

the first set displays 3 images across the page, however, the 2nd set displays just 2 images across.

 

If i remove the first set of code, the 2nd displays just fine with 3 images. so i assume its working.

 

I cant for the life of me work out what im doing wrong, any clues please.

 

here is my page code:

EDIT: sorry first post using code tag. i set it as lime93 as i thought it meant where the problem was. line 93 here is actually the very first line.

<?php
/**
Home Page
 */

get_header(); ?>

Way too much spaghetti code to follow.  Perhaps if you learned to structure your script to separate the php code from the html (put the php at the top) and to generate any dynamic data-reliant parts into php variables and inserted them into the non-dynamic parts at the end of the script things could be analyzed easier.

If i remove the first set of code, the 2nd displays just fine with 3 images. so i assume its working.

 

Do you need both code blocks? If not, you're probably fine.

 

If so, is PHP set to display all errors and warnings? That will likely give you a clue as to what's causing the problem. To show all errors and warnings, you can add the following to the top of your PHP script:

<?php
//REPORT ALL PHP ERRORS
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
?>

 

Just be sure to remove the code when you are done testing.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the style when working with WordPress websites.

Thank you cyberRobot, i did as you suggested and it threw no errors. But thanks for your your reply nonetheless.

 

@ginerjm  perhaps if you learned to use punctuation in your posts they could be easier read, think of the scoldings you could give out then.

I had forgotten why i don't visit here much.

So my 'spaghetti code' of a sentence irked you?  Good.

"Irked me" No, it made me smile. From your comment it seems that all you really want to do is irk people.
I just saw a post from someone with "Little Man Syndrome".

You have a big mouth for somebody who has been programming for 10 years and still never managed to get past the Plz-fix-my-code stage.
