I am trying to make an automated function to make "Cards" on my website and for some reason It says I am not defining an array on line 18 even though it is defined on 3.
Here is the error:
Notice: Undefined variable: cardArray in
E:\XAMPP\htdocs\Websites\website\pages\featured.php on line 18
Notice: Undefined variable: cardArray in
E:\XAMPP\htdocs\Websites\website\pages\featured.php on line 18
And here is the code:
<?php
$cardArray = array();
newCard("Eltit", "This is some interesting text that everyone wants to read because it is awesome. The said this is, is that people might not be able to comprehend it.", "James.png");
newCard("Eltit 2!", "This is just some more interesting works to feast your eyes on mainly because this website doesn't have any content to fill it up yet :)");
for ($i=1; $i < count($cardArray); $i++) {
makeCard($cardArray[i][0], $cardArray[i][1], $cardArray[i][2]);
}
//<<-- Functions -->>//
function newCard($title = "Title", $text = "Text", $avatar = "DefaultUserIcon.png") {
$tempArray = array($title, $text, $avatar);
$cardArray[count($cardArray)+1] = $tempArray;
}
function makeCard($title, $text, $avatar) {
echo "
<div class='box'>
<div id='profile' style='background: url('../img/avatars/".$avatar."');'>
<div id='avatar'></div>
<div id='info'>
This is where the user info will go.
</div>
</div>
<div id='content'>
<div id='description'>
<h1>".$title."</h1>
".$text."
</div>
</div>
<div id='footer'>
<div style='padding: 18px;'>
This is where the buttons will be.
</div>
</div>
</div>";
}
?>
Your $cardArray
variable is in the global scope. In order to use in a function, you need to declare it as global
inside the function:
function newCard($title = "Title", $text = "Text", $avatar = "DefaultUserIcon.png") {
global $cardArray;
$tempArray = array($title, $text, $avatar);
$cardArray[count($cardArray)+1] = $tempArray;
}
Although this fixes your problem. It's advised not to use global
and is recommended to pass them into the function as a parameter.
Example:
function newCard($title = "Title", $text = "Text", $avatar = "DefaultUserIcon.png", $cardArray) {
$tempArray = array($title, $text, $avatar);
$cardArray[count($cardArray)+1] = $tempArray;
}
Then all the callers would pass the $cardArray
to the newCard
function as:
newCard("Eltit", "This is some interesting text that everyone wants to read because it is awesome. The said this is, is that people might not be able to comprehend it.", "James.png", $cardArray);
