Question

I am loading a view like this

if($type == 'view'){
 // do something
}else if($type == 'insert'){
   // Here i am making a form
?>
    <select>  
    <?php 
        foreach($applications as $row)
        {
            ?>
            <option value = "<?php echo $row->id;?>">
                <?php echo $row->name;?>
            </option>  
       <?php } ?>
    </select>  
<?
}else{
    //do some thing else
} 

Now this is the error i am encountering:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in url on line xx

The weird thing is that if i comment out the loop if works fine. What is the problem and how can it be resolved?

Answer 1

you need to use codeigniter loops in view way like this:

<?php foreach ($applications as $row):?>
     <option value = "<?php echo $row->id; ?>">
                    <?php echo $row->name; ?>
                </option> 
    <?php endforeach;?>
