I'm using multiple if statements to check a containing div, and output an image based on the container name. The code was working fine until I add a final "else" or change the if's out to elseif and I can't figure out why that's happening. When I try to add the else or elseif, the entire page fails to load. Any idea why this is happening?
<?php
if($viewMore['container_type'] == 'Large IMG' || $viewMore['container_type'] == 'Gallery') {
$photoSql = "SELECT * FROM `cms_uploads` WHERE (`tableName`='site_content' AND `recordNum` = '".$viewMore['num']."' AND `fieldname`= 'large_images') ORDER BY `order`";
$photoResult = $database->query($photoSql);
$photoResultNum = $database->num_rows($photoResult);
$photoArray = array();
while($photoResultRow = $database->fetch_array($photoResult)) {
array_push($photoArray, $photoResultRow);
}
$large = 0; foreach ($photoArray as $photo => $upload): if (++$large == 2) break;
?>
<img class="features" src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php
elseif($viewMore['container_type'] == 'Medium IMG') {
$photoSql = "SELECT * FROM `cms_uploads` WHERE (`tableName`='site_content' AND `recordNum` = '".$viewMore['num']."' AND `fieldname`= 'small_images') ORDER BY `order`";
$photoResult = $database->query($photoSql);
$photoResultNum = $database->num_rows($photoResult);
$photoArray = array();
while($photoResultRow = $database->fetch_array($photoResult)) {
array_push($photoArray, $photoResultRow);
}
$medium = 0; foreach ($photoArray as $photo => $upload): if (++$medium == 2) break;
?>
<img class="features" src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php else { ?> SOMETHING HERE <?php } ?>
EDIT:
Other notes
I've tried wrapping the break; in brackets because I thought that piece following the count might be messing with something. Also removing the counter altogether or adding a semi colon after the endforeach didn't help.
Whenever you close your PHP block, think about all the text/HTML outside it being put into PHP's echo function.
What gave me alarm bells was this part:
<?php } ?>
<?php else { ?> ...
What that translates into is:
if (...) {
} echo "[whitespace]"; else {
}
which clearly makes your else block unexpected.
You should not close the PHP block between your closing if and opening else, i.e. do this instead:
...
} else {
...
