I want to be able to display titles of the books of the author who is currently logged in. I'm using PHP session
<? foreach ($books as $book ): ?>
<? foreach ($book as $selbook => $author): ?>
<option value="$selbook>"$author['author'] == $_SESSION["sess_username"] ? ' selected="selected"' : ''?>> $author?></option>
<li class="active"><a href=""><span class="pull-right"><input id="button" type="submit" name="submitr" value="Edit"></span><i class="icon-fire$
<? echo htmlspecialchars($book['Title'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?> <strong> - </strong><em>
<? echo htmlspecialchars($book['author'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');?></em></a></li>
<? endforeach; ?>
<? endforeach; ?>
You start 2nd foreach with this:
<?php foreach ($book as $selbook => $author) { ?>
And end with this:
<?php endforeach; ?>
It is not correct. Use this:
<?php foreach ($book as $selbook => $author): ?>
// some code
<?php endforeach; ?>
Also, why u use <?php
? Short tag is not enabled? Use <?
it is much faster to write and code is more readable. Also, when you want to echo some variable, using php tag use this:
<?=$variable;?>
Much faster and more readable too.
Try this:
<? foreach ($books as $book ): ?>
<? foreach ($book as $selbook => $author): ?>
<option value="<?=$selbook;?>" <? if($author['author'] == $_SESSION["sess_username"]): ?>selected="selected"<? endif; ?> ><?=$author;?></option>
<li class="active"><a href=""><span class="pull-right"><input id="button" type="submit" name="submitr" value="Edit"></span><i class="icon-fire$
<? echo htmlspecialchars($book['Title'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?> <strong> - </strong><em>
<? echo htmlspecialchars($book['author'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');?></em></a></li>
<? endforeach; ?>
<? endforeach; ?>
