Foreach giving undefined variable error

Question

Bare in mind that it's late where I am so this may just be a very simple solution that I am overlooking.

I have this foreach statement:

  <? foreach ($entrees as $entree) { ?>
       <li>
           <span class="food-name">
               <?=$entree['name']?>
           </span>
       </li>
  <?}?>

That gives an Undefined variable error for $entree.

 A PHP Error was encountered

 Severity: Notice

 Message: Undefined variable: entree

 Filename: views/welcome_message.php

 Line Number: 9

I tried print_r($entrees); and the result was

 Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Lamb [description] => A small leg of lamb ) [1] => Array ( [name] => Ham [description] => Large thing of ham ) ) 1

Again, this may be something stupid simple but I've been trying to 30 min and can't get it to work for the life of me. Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

You need to set short_open_tag to On in php.ini. That fixed it for me with no additional code.
