... foreach() on line 5

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 ";
}

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,

please read and learn about arrays in php, what is an array, how to access elements within an array, how to loop through through the array etc etc

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.
