Question

I am working on implementing jplayer on my site and need to generate the playlist in php. I’ve pretty much got comma seperation worked out, but the call i use to get my song url and song title are causing php errors and Im not quite sure what Im doing wrong. Im using social engine an extension of zend. I am normally able to use <?php echo $this->string()->truncate($song->getTitle(), 50) ?> and <?php $current_url = explode('?', $song->getFilePath());
echo $current_url[0]; ?> to generate my mp3 title and url without a problem within the for each loop. My code is below, can someone point me in the right direction?

<?php
  $count = 0;
  foreach( $songs as $song => $item): if( !empty($song) ): ?>
  <?php if ( $count ) { print ", "; } $count++; ?>

{

    title:"<?php echo $this->string()->truncate($song->getTitle(), 50) ?>",

    mp3:"<?php $current_url = explode('?', $song->getFilePath());
echo $current_url[0]; ?>"

}
<?php endif; endforeach; ?>

edit: the error im seeing is “Call to a member function getTitle() on a non-object in …player.tpl “

Answer 1

you’re using $song inside of your loop where you should use $item. $song is only the array-key, so there no method called getTitle while $item is your actual object.
