:-x I'm reading a book because I want to learn something about php. In chapter 8 teach something about the forms, then I copied and ran the sample code, but it shows an error.
This is the php code, the 'warning' error is at line 8.
I can't see what is happen.. If you ask me I can put here the html code too. Thanks!

to pass data type in foreach it must be an array, so please pass proper array in foreach on line

Code: Select all

$gustos = $_GET["gustos"];
foreach ($gustos as $indice => $valor) { // code }

Hi,

Refer the php manual for foreach control structure.
http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php

below is one example:
<?php
foreach (array(1, 2, 3, 4) as &$value) {
$value = $value * 2;
}
?>

So whatever you pass to foreach should be an array or object.

In below your code $_GET["gustos"] should be an array.
$gustos = $_GET["gustos"];
foreach ( $gustos as $indice => $valor) {
echo "$indice : $valor<br>";
}

you can do gettype($_GET["gustos"]); to check whether its an array or not.
you can do print_r($_GET["gustos"]); to get what are the values of this array.

Thanks,

Thanks!
I tried these functions and they worked. Finally the code was fine when I put something in parentheses.
Finally was:

$gustos= ( $_GET ["gustos"] );

And the foreach ( ), shows:

0: checkbox 1
1: checkbox 3

While checkbox one and three were checked.

Thanks! I will come again if I found more fails in the book.
A dedicated student.
