Question

I have a array of objects and wants to create an online invoice to be sent on mail . For this I have modified the message as below :

function mail_invoice($buyer_info,$items_info ,$date,$final_amount)
{
    global $template;

    //var_dump($buyer_info);


    $to = $buyer_info->email;
    $from_mail = '[e-mail]';
    //echo $msg.$to.$from;sender_mail
    $subject = "Your Invoice";
    $message = "Your Shopping Details";
    $message .= '
            <h2>RETAIL INVOICE</h2>

                (foreach $items_info as $a=>$v).'      <----line no 1025
                    <tr>
                        <td>'.++$ind.'</td>
                        <td>'.$v->brand.','.$v->model.'</td>

    ';
    $from = $from_mail;
    //$headers = "From:" . $from;

    $headers = "From:" . $from . "\r\n" .
               "Reply-To:" . $from . "\r\n" .

    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

    //$template->main_content = $template->fetch(TEMPLATE_DIR . 'messag_sent_to_friend.html');      
}

But I am getting error message Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOREACH in C:\wamp\www\eshop\class\base\user.base.class.php on line 1025 . Whats wrong I am doing? Or I can’t use foreach there . Please help

Answer 1

You cannot nest a foreach statement in string concatenation. Just split it:

    ....
                    <th>Amount</th>
                </tr>';

    foreach $items_info as $a=>$v){
        $message .= '<tr>
                    <td>'.++$ind.'</td>        
                    <td>'.$v->brand.','.$v->model.'</td>
                    <td>'.$v->quantity.'</td>
                    <td>'.$v->price.'</td>
                    <td>'.$v->total_cost.'</td>
                </tr>';
    }
    $message .= '<tr>
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    ....
